Symptoms of inner peace
What are some of the symptoms of inner peace? How do you know that you really have inner peace and serenity?
In this time and age, we tend to get stressed over many things in life as we live in a fast paced world. Family, friends, job, health among other things are causing millions of people stress and anxiety on a daily basis. Some of this stress is light and we can deal with it easily and some of it is not too easy that it takes effort and time to manage and handle.
As stress increases in our lives, we begin to search for various ways to attain peace of mind. The real question however is how do we know when we get there that we do have inner peace? What are the symptoms that will give us a clue that we have achieved serenity and inner peace?
I have listed below a few points to help you understand the characteristics and the symptoms of the person who has inner peace, so read on.
Symptoms of inner peace
Here are some of the symptoms of inner peace:
1. You give more
If you have inner peace and mind serenity, then you are likely to give yourself and others more of life riches. You would understand that the world is full of abundance and you would want to share what you have with your family, friends, and others. You would give more compassion to your fellow humans. You would express your love and appreciation to your loved ones.
Giving becomes a way of life. You would understand the concept of sow and reap. You would know that the more you give, the more God will give you back in return. Can you see the beauty of having a serene mind and inner peace?
2. You smile more
When you have inner peace, you would smile more and give others a warm smile that is coming from you heart, not a fake one. As I mentioned in my previous article “Smile 400 times a day” that adults smile on average 14 times a day while children smile around 400 times according to an American study that was done on smiling.
What this study shows is that as we get older, we tend to forget how to smile; hence we start accumulating stress, anxiety, and worry over the years.
What is the solution? You have got to smile more, so you start having inner peace. Look in the mirror with a big smile on your face. How does that feel? As you begin to smile, the positive energy will begin to settle within you and you will start finding inner peace to be part of you.
People who have incorporated smiling in their lives have realized whether consciously or unconsciously that it is an important symptom of having inner peace and reducing stress.
3. You are more relaxed
When you have little or no stress, your mind and body are more relaxed and you are able to breathe better and more easily. When you are relaxed, you shut off any stress you might be feeling and as you practice on a regular basis, inner peace becomes part of your life.
When you are relaxed mentally and physically, you crack up jokes, you have high energy, and feel like you can conquer the world.
Get up every two hours and stretch your arms and legs, and massage your body. Take a long walk or run. As I mentioned in my book “How to have peace of mind” that you would be surprised how little movement and relaxation techniques can help calm you down and release the stress and anxiety that is within you.
To recap, When you see yourself giving more to yourself and others, smiling more, loving others more, exercising and taking care of your health, know that you will be on the path to experiencing more inner peace and serenity in all aspects of life.
Once you become aware of the symptoms of inner peace, you will realize when you go off track and if you do go off track, you now have the tools to bring serenity back in your life.
Have you ever wondered why some people are happy and have peace of mind while others keep worrying? Why do some people’s life filled with worry while others filled with happiness and peace of mind? My e-book How to have peace of mind answers those questions and teaches you the scientific ways to control and overcome worry and have peace of mind.

Hi David,
Exactly everyone wants inner peace. When we raise our awareness, we will know when we have inner peace and when we don’t. This is crucial if we really want to enjoy having peace of mind as awareness is a prerequisite. Thanks David

Wow, I had no idea that we smile so much less as adults! I smile all the time, but I suppose that my rate of smiles has increased quite a bit over the last few years, as I’ve raised my energy significantly. I was sitting on a train yesterday, listening to music and just smiling to myself. I caught a glimpse of myself in the window and looked around at all the other people. Most of them looked miserable. They probably thought I was on drugs or something. Smiling like that just isn’t “normal”. That made me smile even more…
Hugs!

Hi Melody,
Smiling for sure is one of the best things a person can have. It takes us from distress to a place of serenity. I’m glad that you are one of those people who smile a lot and this doesn’t surprise me.
Thanks my friend

Indeed, Dia. When we have inner peace we are living prosperously. Prosperous living is spiritual living. It is an expression of love, compassion and generosity toward self and others. We are all naturally philanthropists that are intuitively inclined to improve the well being of humanity. When we accept this role a richness tumbles out like a waterfall.

Hi Dia,
We all deserve inner peace. I like your tips, especially smiling. Without smiles you are in trouble. Smiling just make one feel much better and the people you are around feel better.
I do believe that people are forgetting how to relax in this hurry up world. I always take a few hours in the evening to relax and unwind. There is a time to work and a time to play and relax. I always try to keep this in mind and live by it.
Thank you for the reminder and have a beautiful day.
Blessing to you,
Debbie

I never thought about giving to others as having inner peace, but you are 100% correct.
When you give, you are saying I feel good about where I am in life and am happy to share some of the benefits with those around me.
You did an excellent job on this one.
Bryce.

Hi Alex,
Exactly my friend, having the right tools is very helpful when we go off track. We need to have something that we can rely on.
Thanks Alex
Dia!
Great post! Yeah, the smiling stat really caught me off guard too. I had read something of the study at some point, but evidently forgot the details. What a shame so many faces are so unfamiliar with smiling. I guess I don’t have that particular problem with my 5-year-old crazy little boy. He is always doing something hilarious that keeps me not only smiling, but absolutely cracking up.
But I especially resonate with #1: inner peace is definitely reflected in the compassionate reflex to give and be a source of blessing in others’ lives. When I am at my spiritual height, I am much more loving and giving. When I am in the spiritual doldrums, I can tell my compassion suffers too.
Thanks for the enlightening post, Dia!
Be good!

Great post title–”symptoms” of inner peace. I never thought about it like that, that we might actually experience inner peace and not realize it. Your post helped me see that I do smile a lot, I am more relaxed, and I generally love my life. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi Galen pearl,
Yea once we become aware of something, then we can begin to recognize what we do have and when we have inner peace. Awareness is a major key of the process.
Thanks my friend
Hey Dia,
I am not going to lie to you and say that I am always in a peaceful place.
I have my moments like anyone else but let me tell you that nothing feels as good as inner peace and serenity. There is no feeling like being able to relax and enjoy our lives.
Thanks for reminding us my friend.

Hi Justin,
Exactly, when we do have inner peace, we feel a sense of relaxation and feel like we can conquer the world.
Thanks my friend
Hi, Dia!
I also try to keep being happy and optimistic-that’s the key for having inner peace. Of course, I don’t always manage to be calm, but most of the times I do.
Dealing with stress is the biggest challenge for our serenity reach.
Luckily, feeling the inner peace is something that can be learned through life, only if a person really wants to.

Hi Kristina,
Constant practice is a major key to gaining a lasting inner peace. We have to avoid stress and anxiety if we want to lead a happy life. Thanks Kristina
Wow, okay I definitely have not found inner peace within myself. I get told a lot by my coworkers that I need to smile more often. I even remember from a long time ago when I was in high school, my teacher told me one day that frowning requires a lot more work than smiling and that I should loosen up a bit. I guess I’ve always had this problem.. I’m definitely going to work on it now though!

Very true. We are the mirror of what we feel. What we feel inside are shown on the things we do.
I’ve always looked up to positive people. The ones that smile all the time, tell jokes, are always willing to help, and seem to take life light.
I doubt i’ll ever get to that level of inner peace, i like adrenaline too much, lol.

hello dia
peace is something we all crave for and I aim to be at peace every day of my life(not easy though!!)
However your points stand
one gives more because one is cheerful and compassionate in giving. Besides it becomes a lifestyle.
Smiling definitely reduces stress, radiates warmth and certainly makes people feel welcome because they find one more approachable and peaceful.
Thanks for sharing this.
