When your life appears beyond control and you've got never-ending demands tugging at you from all directions, it isn't difficult to feel rather overwhelmed, tired - and just plain stressed. Believe it or not, balancing your life doesn't require huge changes. You do not have to quit your job, desert your folks and escape to a remote retreat in order to feel peaceful and ecstatic. Actually true balance is something that starts inside you above all - no matter what else is occurring in your outer life circumstances.
Below you will find three simple ways to begin building a greater sense of inner peace and harmony:
1) Quiet time.
One of the first things we sacrifice when we're busy is our personal time. Instead we give all of our energy and attention to caring for others, multi-tasking, meeting responsibilities and "being productive." Over time this exhausts our energy and we start to feel more weighed down by our responsibilities.
To live a rather more balanced life, quiet time to you is crucial. You may believe that you do not have any time available for yourself, but something dazzling happens when you habitually make time; you find yourself feeling happier and more active, your focus improves - and you continue to get plenty done. Just one or two minutes spent sitting noiselessly in meditation or reading a book can do amazing things in transforming stress into peace and contentment.
2) Self-care.
Beyond making time for things you enjoy, there are more methods to nurture and love yourself on a regular basis. Getting a full 8 hours of sleep (or as much as you individually need) is a great start, as well as eating healthy food, exercising daily and talking kindly to yourself.
Ever spotted that when you're truly knackered or stressed, even the tiniest problem can seem just like a nightmare? From another viewpoint, when you're feeling well-rested and targeted, you are miles better in a position to handle upsets. Caring for yourself is one sure way to consistently replenish your energy, inner peace and joy - which means you'll have the strength to handle whatever comes your way.
3) Flexibleness.
Did you know that one of the biggest factors behind stress is rigid expectancies ? We all do it from time to time; get a psychological image of how our lives "should be" - and get extremely annoyed when our outer circumstances don't cooperate. One of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is a flexible mental condition. In other words, discover the best way to detach from excessive expectations and follow the flow.
When you have a flexible mind-set, you are able to address crises and issues much easier because you are not working against a biased notion of how things "should be". You are able to hook directly into your creative problem-solving abilities and move through challenges without all the drama and disappointment. Be like the tree that bends with the breeze - and you are much less likely to break.
These inner changes can make a dramatic difference in your state of contentment, but you may additionally want to look at your outer life circumstances and see whether there are other little changes you can make to help to support your inner work.
As an example, you could choose to let go of certain obligations that are now not significant or pleasurable to you. Because you agreed to host weekly conferences for a support group three years ago doesn't mean you have to continue to do it forever - especially if it's become a drain on your resources. Be content to let go of activities that no longer enhance the lifestyle you want, and you'll create space for larger fulfillment, joy and peace.
