Peace of mind… so essential for good emotional, spiritual and physical health! We cultivate it by choosing positive thoughts!

Don’t try to “chase away” negative thoughts, rather choose positive messages and keep repeating those! Trust is those thoughts, feel good about them, and keep selecting them when things don’t appear to go well in life!

I used to be a worrier, trying to anticipate everything before it happened and trying to prepare myself for everything! I didn’t have peace of mind! My mind was trying too hard to control every outcome by thinking of every possible outcome.

Not a good state to live in constantly! I didn’t even realize I was doing it, so second nature it had become!

Only when I started to practice mindfully choosing my thoughts, and focusing on the positive, was I able to make those changes!

Since Life is all about constant changes, it requires my ongoing mindfulness to keep choosing the positive and to hold onto my peace of mind!

When depression or discouragement rears its ugly head in my life, it sometimes takes great effort to return to my peaceful state of mind!

Please don’t be discouraged if you haven’t achieved this in your mind yet, sometimes all we can manage is a few minutes at a time! With practice those periods of time can be extended and with time you’ll be able to hold onto it for longer and longer periods of time! This is a normal part of the process!

Remember what Maya Angelou said?

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better!”
