The official definition for Peace is a state of tranquility or quiet: as freedom from civil disturbance; a state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom; freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions; harmony in personal relationships…. The definition actually goes on for two more paragraphs. I think I will leave it to what most people define it as. For me the most important part of Peace is harmony in personal relationships. If we can all manage harmony in our personal relationships and in our inner self we could establish peace in all aspects of government and communities. I know that sounds like a tall order, but remember my last post on ”Be the change you want to see in the world”. To expect Peace in the world you must expect Peace in yourself. What does that mean? Strive to be at peace mentally and spiritually with the wisdom and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of anger, despair or stress. Inner Peace heals the body and inspires the mind. I have been a believer of affirmations for many years. You will be hard pressed to find any self help program anywhere that does not include affirmations. They may call it something different but in some way they are trying to rewire your mind through positive repetition. The mind needs to be told how you want to live your life. You have billions of neurons that have been prewired from previous generational thinking and your childhood. Anger, aggravation, self pity are not who you are. They are emotions that you can control by finding inner peace. Continually repeating affirmations with conviction and passion will chip away at even the strongest resistance.
Here are few great affirmations to find your own inner peace.
- I radiate peace and love out to others, helping them to be in peace and in love as well.
- All my relationships are loving and harmonious
- I am at peace
Find Peace in yourself and your life will reflect it. Here are some beautiful reminder.
