Five Exercises to Find Peace
What is it you want to do with your life? How do you think you’re going to make it happen?
If you’re not sure, then self-reflection is a useful first step in making finding clarity.
Even if you have an idea where you want to go, you may want to do these exercises to ensure that you stay on the path toward success. When you are on the right path, peace often follows.
These self-reflection exercises can help you to put things into perspective. Thesy can help you to clear your mind, relax, and find that peace you crave:
1. Compose affirmations. Write a list of at least 50 affirmations. These affirmations should embrace what you want to achieve and what you want to become in your life.
- Write them in present tense and be sure to use the word "I" throughout the list. For example, "I am always good at my job."
- It is important to focus on the things that are occurring now that will lead to your future success.
You may hear words in your head such as, "But you messed this up the other day" or "You weren’t as productive a few days ago." If you are hearing things like this, then consider learning EFT to clear them (EFT calls them yes-buts, or use the techniques Sylvia Hartmann sets out in her brilliant ebook, Power Affirmations).
- Repeating your affirmations aloud will enable you to reprogram your mind with positive thoughts. The more repetition, the better. Consider also putting one on a card on your mirror, so you will also look at it while you say it, first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
2. Tap into your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is where your self-image is stored. All of your attitudes, experiences, beliefs, and values are here. Your subconscious mind is the core of who you are and it’s a very powerful force; it is what actually makes your decisions about how you run your life.
If you go inward and reflect on what’s inside your mental storehouse, you can gain a better sense of self-awareness. Some may call this meditation. Regardless of what you call it, this process helps you to attain a higher level of consciousness.
- Better self-awareness can provide you with many answers about yourself and your true beliefs. EFT can help you change the ones that don’t work for you.
3. Visualize creatively. This is a fun way to self-reflect!
Make yourself a box to show your hopes and dreams. Or you can create a vision board: place pictures and words that represent you and your thoughts into your box or on your board. The more details you include, the better it works!
- Imagination is the key and the sky is the limit!
4. Ask yourself questions about yourself. Write down your questions and your answers. Ask yourself questions about the present and the future and provide yourself with positive answers. You can be creative with your questions because only you know what’s inside of you.
- Be sure to structure your questions to include details about your hopes and dreams.
5. Write and reflect. Purchase a journal and write in that journal every single day. Each day, first write down something positive that occurred that day. Next, write down a question for yourself. Don’t answer that question then and there. Reflect on that question and write your answer the next day as a part of your journal entry.
Self-reflection truly is an art. It involves tapping your inner being and using that to figure out what it is you really want.
In time, your reflections will help you achieve the peace and serenity you deserve.
