| Reimage by Diksha - How to find inner peace? | | |
Diksha Dogra
We do more conversations in our head than we do in real life. We call it internal communication or internal representation. Something happened outside and we make representations in our mind based on those incidents which shakes our inner peace. It’s really hard to maintain that inner peace because some incidents have got their roots in our mind only without any existence in real world. Our inner peace is very important to move the vehicle of life towards extra ordinary journey. I wanted to write this article few months back but I demurred and thought of taking more experience. I have mentioned some self-proven techniques which can help you in maintaining inner peace so that you can live happy life:
1) Let go of the past: Past is not the place to live in, it’s a place to learn from. Many of us are still holding on to the past. I want to do this but……
I know this but………… We are living in 2020 but we will talk about 2011. It happens with majority of people. I know it’s hard to rid of past but it’s not impossible. I often repeat this quote by Tony Robbins- Energy grows where focus goes. If you will focus on past, you will gonna waste your energy in that. Past is Past. It cannot be present or future. People have so many dreams but rather than focusing on process they are busy in carrying the baggage of past. Better to de-clutter it and see which things (learning’s) you can use to make your present and future better.
2) Forgiveness: This is the most imperative thing to find your inner peace. I have read about Nelson Mandela that he spent 27 years of his life in prison. Can you imagine living your best years in prison? Off course not..!!
When he became President of South Africa, he invited the Prosecutor who sought the death penalty to him on dinner; he also invited one of the prison guards. When one of the media people asked him that why did you invite them? He gently looked at him, smiled and said – If I didn’t forgive them today, I would still be in prison forever. Forgive the past events, they served you and if you want to forgive yourself for something, stand infront of mirror and say- I forgive you (Your Name) for doing this repeatedly for few days and feel it.
3) Detox of Excuses: The beginning of transformation is in Awareness. So start becoming more aware of the excuses you are making in day to day life. Every time you make an excuse you give power to the excuse. Do you really want to give your powers to a silly excuse? I cannot afford it and I am sure, you too cannot. Focus on delivering results. Once you will change your focus from excuses to delivering amazing results, the detox process will automatically get geared up. This detox will help you in making small improvements daily. These improvements when done consistently over time lead to stunning results.
4) Generosity: This is something missing in this generation because people are busy in being busy. It’s hard to develop the mentality of generosity. This is something which has to come from within. Let’s talk about our hero’s or shero’s – Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs etc. They were all givers. On the other hand, victims always take from the World. They will always complain – I don’t have enough money, I don’t have good job, I don’t have money etc. Always remember- The more you give, the more you receive. This is the law of Universe. Be generous with everyone you meet.
5) Affirmations: These are short and concise statements or declarations. When we say, hear, or think these statements, they become our thoughts. These thoughts are conscious and they make up our reality.
Using affirmations is empowering! You get to decide what you think, how you think, and why. Affirmations when done with proper discipline can do miracles. Using this without feeling is useless. That’s why people often says, affirmations don’t work. Whenever you affirm something, you need to feel it. Feeling it can be the turning point for your inner peace.
You can sing or hang beautiful pictures for affirmations. I have festooned my entire room with affirmations. It gives immense happiness and peace.
6) Celebrating Small Wins: People are always looking to hit the long term goal but they forget that to reach there we need to celebrate our small wins. Now celebration does not mean that you need to do a big party. You can call your friend or you can celebrate it with your mom or dad because it will let you know that you are going in right direction. Usually goals are too big and it takes more time to reach there - For example: I want to transform 50 million lives by November 17th, 2025. Now if I will think about it again and again, I will be in turmoil. I will rather focus on my process that will gradually take me to that 50 million number. During my journey, I will celebrate my small wins, I will document them to keep myself motivated |
