🙏🏻 Creating peace of mind

🧘‍♀️ 20 ways to help yourself ‘Create Peace Of Mind’

🙏🏻Meditation

1. Take five to ten minutes for a simple seated meditation. Total and utter game changer!

2. Take 100 deep breaths, counting “and one,” “and two,” and so on, with “and” on the inhalations and the numbers on the exhalations. Take your time with these, it’s soooo relaxing.

3. Take a meditative walk, focusing solely on the physical sensations of walking—the earth under your feet, the swing of your hips.

4. Find a guided meditation on YouTube and let it lull you into a blissful state of presence. I love Steve Nobel’s channel.

5. Practice alternate nostril breathing. Hold the left nostril down and inhale through the right; then hold the breath. Release the left nostril, hold the right one down, and exhale through the left. Now start on the left with an inhalation, exhaling on the right. This is one set. Do up to five of them. Do this on your own coz you’ll look like a fruit loop!😂

🗣️ Communication

6. Write down everything that’s weighing you down mentally and then burn the fucker as a form of letting go.

7. Write down everything you’ve learned from a difficult experience so you can see it as something useful and empowering instead of something to stress you out.

8. Tell someone how their actions affected you instead of holding it in and building resentment. You can do this in a nice way, they need to know how their actions have affected you!

9. Call someone you’ve denied forgiveness and tell them you forgive them. It releases you from being ‘stuck in the memory’.

10. Apologise for a mistake instead of rehashing it, and then choose to forgive yourself. We ALL make mistakes, it’s part of life.

🎨 Creativity

11. Engage in a little art therapy; grab some crayons, markers, or paint and put all your feelings on the page. You won’t believe how satisfying this is!

12. Create a peace collage. Include images that make you feel relaxed and at ease. (Google “peace collage” and you’ll get lots of ideas!)

13. Take a step back to your childhood and do some bark rubbing or leaf printing.

14. Take a walk with the sole intention of photographing beautiful things that make you feel at peace, like a tree with colorful autumn leaves.

15. Write a blog post about what gives you peace of mind. (Just like I’m doing right now!)

💃Activity🕺

16. Get up and dance like a twat to your favorite song, focusing solely on the music and the movement. Get into your body and get out of your head! Shake your booty that your mumma gave ya!

17. Take a long walk on the beach, focusing on the feel of the sand between your toes and the sound of the crashing waves. Cliché, but highly effective!

18. Go for a bike ride in a scenic part of town, and immerse yourself in the calm of your environment. Be prepared for a number of bum!

19. Take five to ten minutes for stretching, syncing your breath with the movements.

20. Declutter a cluttered part of your home, creating a more peaceful space. Tidy room, tidy mind!
