A way to inner peace

Step back.

Let it settle.

Wait a moment.

Welcome it.

Don’t fight it.

Observe it.

Accept it.

Surrender to it.

This a way to experience inner peace for any thought or emotion that arises. We can choose to adopt this at any moment and forever.

When we fight, energise, become thoughts and/or emotions and deny what is…then pain and inner suffering come.

Awareness and change

We can read every self-help book, seek every ‘guru’, watch all the TedTalks and we can get a coach.

However, change only occurs on the inside, when we are truly ready and, critically, when we are conscious. As in, awake in this moment and free from thought.

If we are within our mind and its repeating thought patterns, we will not be aware of our actual reality and whether we are changing or not. We have to monitor change and see if we are matching the new ‘version’ we want to be.

Change, of course, is personal and none of us are broken, we are fine as we are. However, if we choose to want to change, awareness is the key to be able to make that change real.

Lastly, it can only happen now. We can’t change next week, as that is just a thought of the future.
