Peace: 4 Tips to Find Peace Within Yourself

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Spiritual Healing

Peace is one way to help you create happiness in your life. Today’s society does not tend to promote being peaceful as a lifestyle. As soon as you start your day, you face pressure and tension one way or another. This constant bombardment to your psyche robs you of being at peace with yourself and the world.

Peace: The Life Coach Dr., Marlene Shiple, Ph.D., for Building Peace! When you look up the word peace in the dictionary, you will find it to be defined as a state of quiet and calm, freedom from disturbing thoughts, and an agreement to end hostilities. So, since this is the definition of peace, how often do you really have it?

It is logical to presume in order to have peace externally, you have to be at peace internally. Many times, you have emotions and feelings pent up from events and situations that prevent you from feeling a peaceful state. One would have to think that if you are not at peace with yourself or the world, you cannot feel happy. It’s very healthy to be able to release the emotions that prevent you from finding peace in a constructive and even healing manner.

Here is a step to use to begin releasing the common tensions and emotions that can block peace from entering your life:

1. Listen to Yourself —

The first thing is you need to do is listen to yourself. In order to do this you have to get in touch with your feelings. Most of the time we fly off the handle and go ballistic because we don’t consciously acknowledge our anger, rage and resentment.

When you can recognize that you harbor these three things and say it out loud “Yes I am furious because of” (whatever it is) you are beginning to release these feelings. Suppressed anger is consuming and even dangerous once it is released because you are like a time bomb waiting to explode.

2. Accept Responsibility For Your Feelings —

It’s okay for you to say “Yes I am angry; and I am responsible for my feelings now not you”. When you start to take responsibility for your feelings even when they are negative, you are de-powering the source that made you feel that way. For instance, you can say, “ I am not going to put up with the way you talk to me, I don’t like it” as opposed to, “You are making me angry”.

When you start to change your thinking to include the idea that no one can make you do anything against your will then you are taking control of your feelings. This is not an easy step and takes practice. Changing your mindset and taking charge of your feelings takes you from being a victim to being someone who takes control of how they want to be treated.

3. Let go of the past —

You cannot change the painful things that cause you anger from your past. You can however change the direction you decide your life is going from this moment on and how. Once you accept yourself and those things you cannot change let them go instead. When you rid yourself of things your emotions hold on to that you cannot change from the past you become stagnated. Until you let go of the past you cannot move whole-heartedly into a new present, a new near-future.

Here is a step to use to build peace, allowing to to more-fully enter your life:

4. Remember your resources and strengths —

Lastly, when you accept who you are flaws, weaknesses, and all, don’t forget the good things you have going for you. When you can start to accept yourself as a complete person, then you will start to find peace. No one is perfect. Once you begin to feel grateful for who you are and what you do have in your life, peace — rather than anger — will start to reign in your life.
