Healthy relationships are the foundation for a still mind and overall wellness. The goal isn’t to be pretty or eloquent or even make sense-it’s to get in touch with what’s going on inside your head.ģ. Just sit down with a blank sheet of paper and write.

Numbing, suppressing and avoiding disappointment and anxiety will only make everything worse. It’s about braving the rapids for stiller waters. With that in mind, let’s talk about a few of the best practices for becoming a person of peace.įinding peace of mind isn’t about erasing every uncomfortable emotion or thought. Think of these practices as rebar-the metal rods embedded in concrete that keep it strong and structurally sound. And the best way I know how to do this is to have practices that prepare you for life’s challenges when-not if-they come. You have to be a person of peace and choose to live a life of peace, which paradoxically means you have to be ready to encounter difficulty.
It’s a way of being-a choice to rise above your situation. True peace of mind is not contingent upon circumstances.

The most important thing I can tell you about your peace of mind is this: It’s not situational.
