If you’d like to experience a more peaceful life, try adopting these 7 habits of serenity:
1. Create a calming morning ritual
- Get up early enough that you’re not rushed in the morning
- Exercise a little bit
- Meditate
- Read the paper with your coffee
- Take a walk around the block
2. Be thankful
- When life seems the most challenging, list the blessings in your life that bring you joy
3. Notice how you respond to stress
- Do you feel overwhelmed by stress?
- Do you overeat?
- Do you work to eliminate the stress?
- Do you find some way to distract yourself to avoid the situation?
4. Develop healthy responses to stress
- Replace any unhealthy responses with something more peaceful
- Try a cup of green tea, a few minutes of yoga, or calling a friend
5. Only do one thing at a time
- Attempting to multi-task is stressful and less productive.
6. Minimize the noise in your life
- Audible sounds, visual clutter, and the other items that you really have no need for all clutter up your mind as well as your environment.
- Keep items that you need or love and get rid of the rest
7. Recognize that most of the time negative issues are not about you
- Everyone has their own concerns to deal with. The odds are excellent that you’re not the cause of someone else’s mood or behavior.
