8. Mindfulness
When we are mindful, we are fully present in the
moment and acutely aware of our five senses
touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell. Engage
your senses. This leaves less time for your mind
to worry and think about what ifs.
Here you can learn about The Power of Mindfulness.
9. Self Love
The more we like ourselves, the greater our peace
of mind. We accept ourselves more and feel at
ease in the world, no matter what situation we
find ourselves in. We experience less insecurity
and as a result, our inner peace is heightened.
Start trying these 30 Ways To Practice Self-Love
And Be Good To Yourself.
10. Be True to You
This is another vital component of peace of mind.
When we practice congruency, we behave similarly
to the way we feel and think. When the way we
see ourselves and the way the world sees us is
the same, we are practicing congruency. Problems
arise when we see ourselves one way (for example,
as a loving mother) but behave in ways that are
at odds with how we would like to see ourselves
(for example, neglect our children
4
because we are too busy). Finding ways to keep
our inner ideals and the way we behave similar is
one of the keys to peace of mind.

11. Sense of Humor
Laugh a lot. The world is instantly a better
place when you can see the funny side of life.
Laughter is a great antidote for stress and
releases hormones that help us relax.
12. Love Unconditionally
When you dont expect anything back, it makes it
easier to love without fear. When we love with
conditions attached, our unmet expectations can
create inner turmoil and feelings of resentment.
Insecurities destroy peace of mind.
13. Go for Regular Health Checks
It pays to keep checks on your health and look
after yourself. Letting ourselves go can
indicate a lack of self-respect, and this in
turn will affect the way we see the world and the
way others interact with us. Be kind to yourself
and make the most of what you have.
14. Take Stock
Every now and then, its a good idea to check
whether youre happy with the quality of your
life. Do you like your job? Your relationship?
Are you on the right track? Make adjustments if
necessary to restore inner calm.
15. Have Goals
This ties in with number 14. Goals keep us going
in the right direction and give us a sense of
purpose. Make your goals SMART How to Set SMART

Life
16. Dont Take Yourself Too Seriously
This relates to number 11. Learn to be more
flexible in your approach to life. The more
rigid our thinking is, the easier it is to
experience situations that contradict our rigid
ideas.
17. Live in the Moment
Instead of worrying about the past or panicking
about the future, really enjoy the NOW. Its all
we have this moment in time. When we live in
the present, the concerns of the past and future
cant worry us.

and Stop Worrying About the Past or Future.

18. Worry Less
We apparently have somewhere between 30,000
75,000 thoughts per day, of which 80 are random
nonsense. Learn to shelve worrying by
reminding yourself that most of your worries are
unproductive and remove any chance of peace of
mind.

19. Be Assertive
You have as much right to be here and to have an
opinion as anyone else. When we become passive
or submissive, we do ourselves a
disservice. Being assertive isnt about your
needs ahead of others (aggressive) or their
needs ahead of yours (passive). Rather, it is
about compromise a win-win situation.
Learn How to Be Assertive and Stand up for
Yourself the Smart Way.
20. Speak Your Mind
Dont be afraid to say what youre thinking. This
goes hand in hand with being assertive. Ask for
what you want in life. If you dont ask, you
dont get.
21. Enjoy Me-Time
Time out is important. A little bit of selfish
time to treat yourself or do exactly as you
please sets you up for taking on the constant
demands of life. Balance in life is crucial.
22. Frolic
The free online dictionary describes the word
frolic as
To behave playfully and uninhibitedly romp.
All work and no play will stress anyone out. Make
time for things you enjoy. Try to inject fun
into situations that arent particularly
enjoyable. Approach life with a playful attitude.

24. Resist Guilt
Guilt is a negative emotion that removes peace of
mind. Although it can motivate us (in the wrong
way), it is still a toxic emotion. Challenge the
reasons for your guilt to make sure you arent
placing unnecessary pressure on yourself.
25. Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude
Focusing on all the things in our lives that we
are grateful for promotes inner calm and reminds
us that there are always positives. Sometimes we
just have to nudge our awareness.
Try these 40 Simple Ways To Practice Gratitude.
26. See Failure as a Learning Curve
Failure has such negative connotations, but
actually, everyone fails. How can you improve or
learn anything if you never fail? A healthy
attitude towards failure encourages bravery. Its
not you that is the failure, instead it is what
you tried that failed. There is a big difference.
27. Connect with Others
One of the true joys of life is sharing life with
others and knowing that others get you. We
feel less alone and feeling understood allows a
fantastic sense of well-being.
28. Test Your Limits
Youll never know your true potential if you
always stay in your comfort zone. As the old
saying goes, it is better to look back and
regret what you did than regret all those things
you wish youd tried.

life in the moment.
31. Challenge Your Shoulds and Musts

tranquility or peace of mind. Replace should
with could and live life more on your own
terms.
32. Be Kind
Its free and it makes a difference. When we show
kindness, it gives us an inner boost, too.
You can try these 29 Ways to Carry Out Random
Acts of Kindness Every Day.
33. Dont Compare
The more we compare, the more we lose
ourselves. Forget what everyone else is doing or
saying. What do YOU want? We all have our own
paths to follow, and we are all learning and
going through life at our unique pace. Focus on
your own journey and lose the stress of comparing
yourself to what you think is going on in the
lives of others. This is a surefire way to
eliminate peace of mind.
34. Affirmations
Talk to yourself positively by using
affirmations. A good example of one that
encourages peace of mind is No matter what
comes my way, I will find a way to get through
it. Believe in yourself and remind yourself
regularly that you will be okay.

35. Save a Little Money as Often as You Can
Putting money aside is always a good idea. If you
can afford to save money regularly, do it. Start
up a regular debit each month, and you wont
even realize its gone.
36. Less Is More
Money buys choice, but it doesnt buy us the
happiness we crave. Be content with the simpler
things in life thats where the real
long-lasting joy and peace of mind comes from.

37. Perspective
Your Current Challenge Courses Topics Lifehack
Show Shop
Always keep your eye on the bigger picture. Will
you feel this way next week, or a year from now?
Will your current experience of life seem as
important? More often than not, you will be just
fine. Foster peace of mind by maintaining
perspective in life.
38. Monitor Your Thoughts
Our thoughts can make or break our quality of
life. Make sure to choose thinking that works
for you. Talk to yourself as you would a best
friend. Self-loathing serves no purpose and will
undoubtedly extract joy from your life.
39. Stand up for What You Believe In
Whether its protecting animals or helping those
less fortunate than yourself, follow your heart
and your passion. Fight the urge to fit in and
do whats expected. When you change yourself to
suit others, you give away your peace of mind.
40. Get Enough Sleep
When were tired and grumpy, nothing goes
smoothly. Get eight hours of sleep per night and
regenerate your body.
Final Thoughts
The most important ways to achieve peace of mind
involve being true to yourself, accepting that
life is uncertain and watching your thinking.
Many of us mentally torture ourselves daily
with the things we tell ourselves. Trust your
thoughts less, pay less attention to the negative
ones and focus on what you are thankful for in
life, and youll be well on your way to inner
peace of mind.
