7 Simple Steps to Mindfulness and Inner Peace – 7 Days Theory
1. Spend time with yourself.
This is important to really be able to clear your mind, and let your thoughts enter and leave your mind with awareness. When we are alone, it gives us the space and the time to ask ourselves some of the questions we could be possibly avoiding while hanging with “the crowd”.
2. Listen to your inner voice.
Who is speaking when you are alone or thinking to yourself. Is it your voice? Is it someone else’s voice? Take the time to listen to your inner voice, so that you can find out who is calling the shots up there.
3. Be aware of your surroundings.
This seems simple, but is actually rather complex. Your surroundings include what is going on in your life immediately; what room you’re in, what you’re doing, etc. It is also a bigger, top-down perspective of where you are at. Location, career/school, friends, family, etc. Take the time to be aware of your surroundings. How did you get to where you are right now? Is this where you want to be?
4. Find the energy that you would like to have.
This could mean money, this could be friendship, this could be family-relationships. It is important for you to seek out the type of energy that you would like to attract. How will you behave in order to attract what it is that you are seeking? It is not enough to want something, it is important to go after the things that we want, with clarity of how we can possibly get there. Find an example of the person that you would like to “live like, or be like”. Or, find the present that has the job that you “envision yourself having”. This is a way to move yourself closer to what it is that you want, energetically. Do this correctly and you will be closer to finding inner peace.
5. Know that you are only responsible for yourself.
It may seem like you can fix other people’s problems, or make other people happy, but the truth is, you cannot. You can only be responsible for your own actions and feelings. This is not to say that you or not able to give someone all the love that you want to give them. Including doing things for them and so-on. But, if doing things for them, or “helping” them is harming you, then you might be better off focusing on yourself, until you are able to provide the support that you truly want to give.
6. BREATH
Life is about the breaths that we take. Right now… Take a DEEP BREATH.
Inhale IN…. hold it…
Exhale out.
That breath that was taken is your life. Everything that you will ever do will be inside of that precious breath. Take care of it. Be conscious of it. Practice calming yourself by taking deep, controlled breaths. Breathing = Life.
7. Practice being peaceful.
What does it mean to be peaceful to you? Who are the most peaceful and conscious people you know? Don’t just let peace come to you when things are overwhelming, find your peace every day. You deserve it!
