What is the best way to attain peace of mind?
Is attaining peace of mind an impossible task? Do you know how to attain peace of mind? What is the best way to attain peace of mind?
Attaining peace of mind is a goal that many people strive for, yet find it hard to really have a peaceful mind especially when they experience negative situations. If you are like most people, then learning about the different ways and methods to achieve inner peace is crucial to leading a happy and peaceful life.
Attaining peace of mind is not an impossible task, but it is challenging for most people as studies show that more than 80% of what most people focus on through out the day is negative.
Attaining peace of mind
There are countless ways to help you attain peace of mind as I mentioned in my book “How to overcome worry and have peace of mind.” so there is nothing such as best method. However, in this article, I will mention 4 ways that if you implement them in your life, I guarantee you will be able to attain and have inner peace in your day.
1. Become unattached
If achieving inner peace is a major goal for you then becoming unattached to what is happening to you in life is a very important skill that you must learn and acquire.
Often when people experience distressful situation, they stay attached to what is causing them anxiety and worry. The more they stay attached to the negative thoughts, the more they stay in their stressful world.
For example, if a student keeps attached to the result of his last failing exam, he will not be able to do well in his next test unless he becomes unattached to the low grade that he got in his previous exam. Becoming unattached will help the student attain peace of mind as his brain will be free from the negative thoughts.
2. Focus on your goals
Focusing on what you want to accomplish in life is a great way to help you attain peace of mind and inner peace. When you focus on what you love, you are awakening the happy feelings and emotions within you to help you relax and get peace of mind.
3. Meditate on your blessings
Jennifer mentions that every morning she goes over a gratitude list where she focuses on the blessings she has in life. Focusing on the blessings reminds Jennifer that she is a very lucky person and hence starts experiencing peace of mind according to her.
Let’s face it, meditating on the good things you have going for you in life is a great way to reduce anxiety and increase peace of mind within you. When you meditate and think about the blessings you have and offer real gratitude, the more you will start experiencing peaceful thoughts. Not only that, but you will also start realizing that you have abundance in your life. When you take your mind off the lack and start counting your blessings, a great sense of inner peace will take place in your heart.
Always remember what Brian Tracy said, “Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organize your life around it.”
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.

It sounds attaining a peace of mind comes down re-focusing your thoughts away from the negative things that have affected your life and towards the the positive things. I think a lot of people really struggle with becoming unattached from those things that have caused them a lot of stress and it really prevents them from ever being happy or content with their life.

For many people peace of mind is foreign. This is why learning to relax and become mentally experts is crucial to gaining inner peace. There are many tools to help a person achieve peace of mind, the key is to find what works and stick with it
Good post Dia. I’m a big believer in the many benefits of meditation but I also find that maintaining a daily practice is very hard for me. I do keep returning to it however.

Hi Dia,
Daily meditation is definitely one of the things that helped me the most in the last couple of years. It makes it easier to choose the good-feeling, more positive perspective in every situation I come across. I also agree that he technique of listing what we’re grateful for and spending a little time every day focusing on that list can be a powerful catalyst for change. Well done!
Hugs,

Hi Melody,
For sure meditation is a great way to help us achieve peace of mind. It is a great way to help us clear our mind from all the negative thoughts. Also, focusing on what our blessings is crucial. This is one of my daily rituals and I can tell you it has helped me stay focused on what I want instead of what I don’t want. Thanks Melody
Very nice tips! Another good one is understanding your self worth and learning how to say “no”. Sometimes we do things for others so much that we forget about ourselves and in the process of forgetting about us…people have a tendency to complain about all the work they are doing for others. It quite okay to say “I’ll think about it or meditate on that one” before actually committing yourself to something you would much rather not be doing at all.

Hi Kenya,
Saying “NO” to others is necessary sometimes. Many people are too shy to say NO when asked to do something for someone else which in returns causes them stress. To attain peace of mind and inner peace, saying NO is necessary from time to time. Thanks Kenya

Hi Dia,
attaining peace of mind is something that I had strived for many years. I have learned as you suggested in your post to remain unattached to what is happening outside of me. I view the circumstance as a “prop” or something that is not as threatening to my well being as it appears to be.
I say out loud everyday things that I am grateful for.This really helps me to stay appreciative to life.

Hi Justin,
I also spend around 20-30 minutes a day going over what I’m thankful for. It helps me to stay appreciative and focused on the positive things in my life. Also, once I learned to become unattached to whatever negative thing is happening to me, I started experiencing peace of mind more often. With practice, it is getting easier and easier. Thanks Justin
We have a lot in common.

Hi Suteki,
It might not be easy at first to experience inner peace, but the more you practice, the easier it gets.
Hi Dia,
It’s true, attaining peace of mind can really be hard to do especially if we focus on our worries and constantly think of negative things. You’re right, we should learn to move on from our past mistakes and focus on our goals. These are ways that I also try to practice and every night I think of all the things that I have that I’m grateful for.
Also, I’ve discovered that tying up loose ends in my life gives me a feeling of satisfaction and peace of mind.

Hi Theresa,
Exactly, while it might be hard at first to get peace of mind, the more you practice, the easier it gets. Having a gratitude list and going over it daily is a great way as well to help you stay away from the negative and the lack mentality. Thanks Theresa
Dia,
Thanks for some sound tips on how to find and attain peace of mind. I know in the chaotic world in which we live in that finding peace during any activity we are involved in challenging and that’s why I value these tips so highly. The part I found most insightful was the idea of unattaching. I know personally I often find myself consumed by things that don’t matter. It’s time to start letting them go. Thanks for this great post.

Hi Dia,
I like the last one. Being grateful for all your blessing, does bring peace of mind. through out the day I work on what I love and stay focused on my goals and at the end of the day I am grateful for what I have accomplished and what I have and this gives me peace of mind.
We all deserve a peace of mind and we can obtain it when we have the right attitude. peace of mind comes down to the attitude for me.
Thanks Dia for your words of wisdom.
Blessing,

Hi, Dia,
it is quite a challenging thing to attain a piece of our mind. You are right when you notice that many persons get too attached to their worries, not letting go off the negative emotions. If we want our mind to stay clear, we have to focus and keep the right attitude-a positive one!

Hi Dia,
What stuck out for me was being unattached. This is something that I have been recently working on. Being attached to people, situations, emotions, material things, or desired outcomes is a setup for disappointment. Being attached has such a heavy feel to it. It is living in the past. Attachment, like any other habit can be broken. Meditation and not getting so caught up in the business of constantly doing are other big ones for me.

Attaining peace of mind is something almost impossible nowadays. We live a very busy life, we are always busy and stressed-out with work and problems. We rarely have time for ourselves, to clear out mind and to seek peace of mind. Also, it’s not impossible though, but it’s really hard to attain peace of mind. Thanks for sharing the best ways of attaining it!

Peace of mind is really hard to attain especially when we worry too much about the things we have. And I agree that being unattached is one way to have the peace that we want. If we attach ourselves too much it’s hard to let things go so we end up getting frustrated.
I like that idea of a gratitude list every morning. I’d very much like to try that one. After all, counting your blessings is far healthier than counting the blessings of others.

What I have learned from your article: You won’t have peace of mind without positivity. Thanks for your pointers and it is nice to know that I don’t need to go to India just to get peace of mind like Julia Roberts did in “Eat, Pray, Love.” I especially liked your third point. I have always believed that if everyone knew how to count their blessings then a lot of psychologists would be unemployed.
