Inner Peace | Lifecoachwomen.be

Peace = Inner Peace
We all want peace, don’t we?
We like it
when there is harmony,
when people are nice,
when the world agrees with us,
when we don’t have to ‘fight’ all the time…

But do we really have any control over this?
Do we have the key to keep the whole world in a place we define as harmonious?
Unfortunately, no, we don’t.
But
what we do have control over,
where we do have the key to,
is our inner peace.

We decide how we feel!
We decide whether to engage in an argument or not.
We decide whether we will sulk all day because something did not go the way we wanted it to go, or not.
We decide whether we listen to the news or whether we make up our own minds.
We decide whether we let others rule our lives, or not.
We decide.
YOU decide.
Yes!

Once you realize you have all the power over how you feel,
your whole world will change!
You will always be able to go to that place of inner peace.
No matter what happens in the outer world, you will have your calm inner place you can go to.
That is where you will always find peace.
That is where you can relax,
where you can recharge your batteries,
where you can feel good.

This is my invitation to you all this week:
Create this place of inner peace.
Name it if you like so that you can tell yourself in times of turmoil: ‘okay, it’s time to go to …’
And you’ll find peace, quiet, comfort there.
You’ll have your sanctuary where you can go to anytime you need.

You can start by first of all:

Training yourself to become quiet.
Focus on your breathing.
Let all the turmoil in your head dissipate.
When thoughts enter, acknowledge them as thoughts and let them pass by.
Serena Dyer describes this beautifully in her latest book ‘The Knowing’, she says her mom taught them to:
‘Imagine yourself sitting in a train which is slowly leaving the station and you see the passengers on the platform but you gently glide away from them.’
Let yourself gently glide away from all these thoughts in your head.
Then you go to your place of inner peace,
to your place where you feel love, friendship,
to this place of gratefulness, of kindness.
There is so much beauty in your life, so many things to be grateful for.
Create this place in your heart where you treasure all this beauty.
Then when you go there, all you will feel, is warmth, joy, peace.
It’s such a beautiful place.
Make your own little haven of peace.

I wish you lots and lots of inspiration, joy, and quietness so that you can create your inner sanctuary.
Once you have this, you’ll always have your place to go to in times of anxiety, of turmoil, of restlessness.
It is so worth it!
Enjoy!!
