eleva"T"e - Tranquility
Incorporating tranquility into your life offers a multitude of benefits that go beyond just feeling relaxed. It can positively affect your mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. It is important to calm our minds and be present in the moment, appreciating and finding joy in everyday experiences. When our minds are less cluttered, we can make better decisions and set ourselves up for healthier management of stress and conflict.
Resilience and being accepting of life’s unpredictability is a great starting point to achieving inner peace. Not only accepting the discomforts and challenges in life but seeing them as opportunities for growth will develop self confidence and help one to gain a stronger sense of self.
Effective breathing techniques, practicing gratitude and positive affirmations are tools I am using to create a foundation for developing my inner peace.
Increasing breath focus and incorporating slow deep breathing techniques can help with stress management, reduce muscle tension and improve concentration. Ibreathe is an app for your phone and if you have an apple watch, mindfulness, is an app offering guided breathing, the app can send reminders as well as a weekly summary notification.
Practicing gratitude on a daily basis has been significant in helping me shift my level of contentment. This practice is not time consuming and can easily become part of your daily
routine with little effort. Leave a notebook by your bed and while reflecting on the day, write a few things you are grateful for. Big or small, helping to create a mindset of abundance can shift
focus to appreciating what we have.
The ability to shift our focus to positive thoughts and embracing a constructive perspective during challenging times may take some effort but the rewards are immeasurable. We need to
be mindful of destructive thought patterns that run through our minds. I have been a victim of falling into this trap, making negative comments regarding my weight, clothes and face. I am actively trying to increase my awareness and turn off that little voice in my head that often seems to run on repeat. Replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations It’s not easy but it is necessary for peace of mind.
