Dear Luminous Leader,
If you’d like to experience a more peaceful life, try adopting these 7 habits of serenity:
1. Create a calming morning ritual
- Get up early enough that you’re not rushed in the morning
- Exercise a little bit
- Meditate
- Read a book with your coffee
- Take a morning walk outside
2. Be thankful
- When life seems the most challenging, list the blessings in your life that bring you joy
3. Notice how you respond to stress
- Do you feel overwhelmed by stress?
- Do you overeat?
- Do you work to eliminate the stress?
- Do you find some way to distract yourself to avoid the situation.
4. Notice how you respond to stress
- Replace any unhealthy responses with something more peaceful
- Try a cup of hot tea, a few minutes of yoga, or calling a friend or family member
5. Only do one thing at a time. Attempting to multi-task is stressful and less productive.
6. Minimize the noise in your life. Audible sounds, visual clutter, and the other items that you really have no need for, clutter up your mind, as well as, your environment.
- Keep items that you need or love and get rid of the rest
7. Recognize that most of the time negative issues are not about you. Everyone has their own concerns to deal with. The odds are excellent that you’re not the cause of someone else’s mood or behavior.
I hope this helps you find serenity starting today.
Until next time,
