18 GOLDEN PRINCIPLES FOR LEADING A PEACEFUL LIFE
In
this hectic life which is restless and full of expectations, sometimes we
forget to realize the motto of our lives. After all, we are competing in this
world only for a quality life and sometimes it is felt that we are forgetting
our goal. So, it becomes imperative to realize the different ways of our day-to-day
activities which keeps our mind and body in tandem so that we can have a smooth
ride. Let us try to discuss these ways one by one in a very scientific way.
1-Getting up
early:
It is advisable
for all to get up early which means we must go for an early sleep as we need to
sync mind and body with a schedule. Getting up early has many benefits as time
is always quiet and peaceful. We can go for a walk, do early morning exercises and
meditation etc. If we get up early, we have more time to plan our day's actions
with a very cool mind.
2-Meditation:
Meditation is the
process of quieting the mind in order to spend time in thought for relaxation
which ultimately leads us to peace happiness and bliss. In detail, if we talk
about its benefits, meditation helps us in reducing stress, promotes health,
generates positivity, enhances memory and concentration, helps to get rid of
addictions, promotes good sleep, and enhances emotional stability.
The technique of
meditation is all about self-awareness through breathing techniques and feel
of different sensations in our body. Visit: https://www.dhamma.org/en/index
3-Physical
Exercise:
Physical exercise
delivers oxygen and nutrients to our tissues resulting in the improved health
of our heart and lungs which helps us to tackle our daily schedule more
efficiently. It helps us to control our blood sugar level, it improves our
mood, boosts energy, we get good sleep, is important for our sex life and it is,
after all, fun and helps us to be more social. Just imagine going to a nearby
park where we can meet our fellow citizens, share a light moment and begin a
fresh friendship. It really pays rather lying shiftless in our bed. Visit: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/exercise/art-20048389
4-Restraint From
Fight:
For leading a peaceful
life, it is always important to restrain ourselves, as we may come across many
triggers, but we have to be patient as we can’t afford to lose our mental calm
which can disturb our day-to-day schedule leading to stress. I know it is
difficult to be calm when somebody talks or acts non-sense, but we have to find
other ways to react rather than fighting. I am sure when you will start
meditating you will learn to control your emotions in a better way.
5-Never Be
Judgmental:
It is seen often
we enjoy passing our views about others without thinking from the perspective
of others. It results in misjudgment leading to prejudice which becomes
the base of our tension. So, we must avoid judging a person without knowing
about the background for the benefit of our own peace.
6- Smile Always:
A smile is an
easiest and cheapest way to stay relaxed. A smile is thought to change our
brain chemistry. Smiling activates neural messages which help us to be healthy
and happy. Besides health smiles make us more attractive, so that we are more
acceptable in society. So keep on smiling it helps.
7-Be Confident:
Confidence in us
is a very important ingredient if we want to lead a peaceful life. See there
are many constraints in this competitive world, but we have to deal with them
patiently, whether we are with our family members, friends or colleagues we
must learn to be confident. For inculcating confidence, we have to push through
self-limiting beliefs. Never stretch yourself beyond your capacity and try to
focus on things you are interested in. It is advisable to stop thinking too
much about our future. We must think positive always and overcome confidence, by
discussing with our parents, friends or colleagues.
8-Eat Good And
Healthy Food:
Proper and
balanced food is always advisable for a healthy life. Avoid junk food and
prefer fresh fruits instead. It is the lack of proper and nutritious food which
results in our health issues and if our health is not up to the mark, it surely
affects our mental balance and we start getting irritated.
9-Avoid Negative
Thoughts On Social Media:
In today’s world,
it is very important as we use to spend quality time on social media. Knowingly
or unknowingly, it affects our mental peace if we start chatting, responding or
sharing negative thoughts. It may seem to be hilarious for some but it is true,
it gives your mind negative vibrations and you lose mental peace. Instead, if
you start focusing on positive thoughts, you will certainly feel the
difference. You will definitely feel inner peace. So next time be careful when
you are on a social site.
10-Learn To
listen:
It is observed
many times that we react instantly without listening properly, to what the other
person wants to convey. It is considered a bad habit as it occasionally
leads to confusion and we start arguing unnecessarily which could have been
avoided otherwise. Listening patiently is an art we all must learn before
any reaction. It is also important to think from others' perspectives before
making a final judgment. After all, we are social beings and can’t think of
ourselves in isolation.
11-Speak Mildly:
For our mental
peace, it is very important to speak mildly. We must have noticed many guys
conversing very loudly; it gives a very negative impression; besides it results
in losing our mental balance. So, it is very imperative to speak very mildly
without stretching your face muscles. You will definitely get more social
respect and you will feel an inner calm.
12-Forgive Others:
It is again a very
important factor for a peaceful life. It is ok; nobody is perfect in this
world. If we feel we are good in some traits but definitely we must be lacking
somewhere else. So, never remember the fault of others for a long time and
learn to forgive. Believe me, it is a great feeling if you forgive others and
it helps to realize their fault. Keeping so many things in our minds is
like carrying unnecessary baggage over our heads, so it is important to get rid
of that baggage as soon as possible.
13-Find Time For
Playing:
Games are thought
to be an instant mood lifter, there is something for everyone. Games bring
people together and play a great role to build us both emotionally as well as
physically. Games also teach us the spirit of patience and courage.
14-Spend Time With
Guys Who Think Positive:
As the environment
plays a very important role in our character building, it becomes imperative to
choose our companions very carefully. As we know everybody in this world comes
from a different background, how they are grown up, how many values they have
been taught, what is their genetics etc. So it is crazy to think that everyone
must run as per our whims. What we can do is choose our friends carefully,
those who can give us positive vibes and help us realize our bright future.
15-Never Complaint
Bluntly:
This is definitely
a tricky situation; the first thought comes why I should not complain if
something is not up to the mark or wrong. It is alright you have all the right
to complain but what I want to emphasize here is that we need to be a little
diplomatic here. After all, our goal is to get the work done properly, and for that, we need not lose our peace. First, try to find out if the other person is in
the right state of mind, then see if you can fix the problem yourself, if not
mention it as a message to the guy you want to convey rather than ordering
him/her, see the difference. You will get your work done judiciously in a very
friendly manner without hurting anybody’s ego.
16-Manage Money:
Very very important
as money matters. It is very important to manage your money to avoid stressing
yourself. What actually happens is that sometimes, we spend more money than
what we earn. There are many reasons, like we are the victim of some complex
and try to make a point, sometimes we are thinking only for a short period and
don’t plan for long etc. And after we exhaust our resources; we start borrowing
and sometimes doing some acts which are not ethical. All this leads to our
restlessness and we start worrying.
17-Control Your
Lust For Greed:
It is often true
that we stretch ourselves beyond limits for our greed. It results in
restlessness as we include ourselves as a member of the mad race prevailing in
society. We must control this temptation with our positive thoughts. We must
remember the words from the great poet and actor William Shakespeare.”We are actors
and all the world is a stage.”As a stage is not a permanent thing, the same is
true with life we are here for a fixed period of time and we have to live
that period in a very dignified manner. We are not here to compete with anybody
but with ourselves. We have to live for our peace of mind and enjoy our lives
in a very satisfactory way.
18-Never Think
Yourself As A Boss To Control Everyone All Around.
It is often
observed that we are tempted to teach everyone in and around us and wish them to
change as per our whims and fancies. This is perhaps the most misadventure we
indulge ourselves in. As discussed earlier also, like our different
fingerprints, our mindset is also different owing to various factors like
our background, the way we had been brought up, our genetics etc. So it is not
advisable to criticize somebody without proper thinking. Criticism is
perhaps the easiest path to follow in this society and self-introspection is
the most difficult one. My dear readers, it is always advisable to opt for the
difficult path in order to lead a peaceful life. You will definitely find a
way. Thanks and I Love you all
