Peace of Mind

Mind is a very unique thing in this world... its there but no one can see it...just like god... mind it am talking about "mind" not brain....
The mind has the power to control your body & you have the power to control your mind (with your heart). Its strange no, how your mind controls your actions??

Just give it a thought what happenes when there is a lot of chaos in your room... when you sit in a room filled with chaos how irritatedyou feel?? when you are not able to find anything in that room?? when you are not able to walk in the room because of the clutter...how does it feel??/ messy?? irritated??

How would you feel when there is a lot of chaos in your mind?/?
Even more irritated...when your mind is handling a chaotic situation...you forget to be happy.... you forget to be nice...you take tension...

when you are with friends you are not enjoying their company... when you are with your lover you are thinking of an assignment to be done..you are there physically..but mentally you are somewhere else... You are not able to fully enjoy the moment you are in ...this is where peace of mind comes in....

If your mind is at peace...you'll enjoy with your friends, you'll enjoy everymoment with your loved one's... you'll be able to do your work, assingnments etc...in half of the time...you wont have to search for a reason to be happy when you are at peace with yourself... having peace in your mind is a state of happiness in itself...
You dont have to look for happiness in material things...

There are few tips by which you can achieve peace of mind to some extent...

1. Do not interfere in others' business you have your own life and things to take care of..why get one more burden on that???

2. Do not procrastinate and never regret stop procrastinating things , it only adds to the guilt feeling deep inside your mind...

3. Never leave the mind vacant Empty vessels make most of the noise...so dont keep your mind free..

4. Stay away from negative conversations and from negative people.

5. Don't hold grudges. Learn to forget and forgive. Nurturing ill feelings and grievances hurts you and causes lack of sleep.

6. Learn to be more patient and tolerant with people and events.

7. Don't take everything too personally. Some emotional and mental detachment is desirable. Try to view your life and other people with a little detachment and less involvement. Detachment is not indifference, lack of interest or coldness. It is the ability to think and judge impartially and logically. Don't worry if again and again you fail to manifest detachment. Just keep trying.

8. Practice some concentration exercises. This will help you to reject unpleasant thoughts and worries that steal away your peace of mind.

9.Learn to practice meditation. Even a few minutes a day will make a change in your life.
