Inner Peace keeper ?

How often are you feeling affected by the behavior of others? Is your mind constantly narrating or taking you back to a situation where you wish you could’ve responded differently? The truth is that we all encounter people and situations that can destroy our inner peace more often than we would like. Part of the test of life, is wether or not we will learn how to react to the different circumstances, people and situations that come into our lives and that threaten to steal our inner peace.

I fully believe that it is part of God’s plan to send us to this earth so that we may learn to choose GOOD for ourselves. These choices also include the things we think about, our mental focus and attention. Also the ways in which we will choose to manage our emotions, the reactions we have and finding the ways to help us manage our “triggers.” Life is definitely built as the most perfect school to train our Mind, Body and Spirit fully.

In the word of God there are so many examples of people who had to overcome different things and situations. We too, have the mental power and ability overcome and to be victorious against anything that we face. We know that we don’t have to do it alone, but that there is a God who is fully willing and ready to help us. As we pray and come to Him, He will show us the tools that we need to continue to keep that inner peace within us so that we may not be so affected by the world, the people and the situations around us.

As I’ve tried to grow closer to God, and through His guidance and inspiration I’ve been able to learn more about the important relationship of my brain, mind, body and Spirit. I’ve learned how closely related they work together and how beneficial it is for all of us to learn tools and skills to help us strengthen each of these important areas of who we are. Doing so will allow us to tap into those strong areas within us to be better able to handle the different challenges that we may face.

One of my favorite tools comes from mindfulness. Which is a technique that helps you to achieve a state of alert, focused relaxation by deliberately paying attention to thoughts and sensations without judgment. This allows the mind to refocus on the present moment and allows you the time to process, feel and release emotions and also to invite the good and the positive to come in instead. Some of these tools have allowed me to see the benefits of connecting more to my body, mind and spirit. And even though some days hit us harder than others, I know there are ways in which we can help ourselves keep our inner peace.

I’ll share some of the tools that have been the most helpful to me and that have allowed me to keep my inner peace more stable and less affected by the outside world. I hope that you can gain something from this, and if you already have tools that help you, that you may continue to PRACTICE and create new pathways and habits in your brain to help you. The more we practice the better we get at this. 😉 Also, I hope that you know that you can reach out to me and I’d love to help you in any way I can. ❤️

You can choose to do some of these activities daily or whenever you’re feeling triggered by something. Just remember that when you feel “triggered” it’s because of a thought you have, and it’s important to always question if that thought is true or helpful to you. Theres always space where you can choose how to let it affect you. Is it worth your energy?….Is it Positive or negative for you to keep? Or is it better to accept the way it is and release it. Wether your peace leaves or stays it will all be your choice. So choose what is best for YOU!! & don’t forget that you always deserve more peace, love and light over anything else???

Try these tools if possible before the day begins, so that way your inner strength and mental ability will be much higher throughout the day. That way it will be harder to deplete your energy and you’ll be able to keep your inner peace more stable. Or practice these techniques throughout the day to help you process your emotions as well.

Here are some ideas or tools to help us keep our inner peace.

?Ask for help on a soul level: Ask the creator of your soul to help you have wisdom to view whatever is going on through His eyes and to TRUST THAT ALL WILL BE OK AND ACCORDING TO HIS DIVINE PLAN.

? The power of your BREATH: Breathing physiologically calms the body. Access your breath, find your inner peace, center your attention on this very moment. Remember that as you breathe you’ll begin to feel better. Once you’re at a place of calm, you can choose what to do next.

?Change your focus: Ask yourself; “ IS THIS THOUGHT USEFUL? It’s ok to feel your emotions, and process what is, but once you process them, it’s better to think about something more positive for you. Think about what you would like to focus your energy on in the next 30 minutes. Choose to do something uplifting for yourself, something that feels good, that helps you feel happy and accomplished. You can also choose to call someone who will be a positive influence to you during this time. Or just do something that allows your energy to be used in a way more positively.

? Meditate: Slowing down your mind and disconnecting form the outside world is an awesome exercise and a muscle that we can continue to practice. Specially if we’re trying to keep that inner peace within us. Finding a quiet place or just covering your ears, closing your eyes and focusing on your connection to your physical body, your emotions and your breath. Allowing yourself to have a moment to observe your thoughts as an outsider and letting them just pass by. Or taking a moment to ask yourself questions like: Does someone on the planet have it worse than me right now? Will this matter in 5 years?
These questions help you to zoom out and realize that things may not be that bad and that you can handle them. Having a moment to see the problems from a distance can help us to process and release them and instead we can focus on breathing, connecting to the divine or higher source and inviting more inner peace, calm and stillness to be with us. Meditation allows us to connect to our higher self and to God which will in return allow more wisdom to come. ?

? Positive affirmations, words and visualization; there’s extensive research on the theory that what we think about, we create. The body defaults to the pathways it already knows. So, it takes little retraining to create new thought patterns or habits. Affirmations help so much! Write yours and keep them where you can visually see them. Ex; “I am calm and serene”, “everything is in Divine order”, “I am joyful and peaceful”, “today will be an amazing day”. Also, having favorite scriptures to look at and to memorize are also amazing! Words have power! And we need to use them. ???

?Less time with screens: Whatever you listen to, watch and focus on, becomes how you speak to yourself. So, listen to uplifting music, positive messages and make a promise to yourself that your media intake will be positive. Spend less time looking at social media, or spending too much time on screens. These things short circuit our energy and leave us mentally and physically tense. Spend as much time in nature as possible. Implement a daily walk while leaving the phone at home. Or just leave your phone in a different room, it may feel weird and hard to do, but it’s an awesome test to see how attached we’ve become to it ? instead of focusing on the phone, notice your surroundings and make it a point to be more present .

? Self love: Be kind to yourself, treat yourself to something nice, exercise outdoors if possible, visualize your wellness and eat and drink all is healthy, nutritious and good for you. Don’t forgetting to also rest and get enough water and sleep. Your body has a huge effect on stress release, help yourself by choosing good for your Body as well. ???❤️

? & The last tip is to be Thankful and Present. Mindfulness teaches about the power of now. This very moment is all we have, this is the only moment we can control. The choice we make is for right now. The past is gone, we can accept it, grow from it and move on. The future is unknown, we can plan for it, but not fully focus on it since we really don’t know what exactly will happen. So, it’s important for us to be thankful to be here right now. Thankful for the blessings we have and for all that God gives us today! Being present means that we take things one at a time and that we allow ourselves to be in the moment. It means that we make it a point to see the blessings that we have right now. Trusting that God will take care of providing for us one day at a time. So, the focus is for today! All I can do is for this very moment, just today. The more that we’re able to be thankful and present, the more we will be able to enjoy true inner peace one day at a time.

I pray that you will be able to realize your inner divine power as a child of God. That inner peace is already within you, it is a part of your divine DNA. God wants you to learn to keep it, to strengthen it and protect it so that you may have more stability handling the world around you. The enemy has no power over you when you know who you are, where you come from, and the divine light that is within you. With this knowledge, You can process your emotions, you can keep that peace within you and enjoy your inner peace more and more to be able to help others around you instead.

John 16:33 Says: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. ? He is by your side. The one who knows everything about this world and what each one of us will face. With Him you can do all things. He asks you to be of good cheer! Can you do that for yourself today? Trust Him and focus your mind, heart and soul on that divine peace that you can enjoy more and more. Focus on the blessings and all the good that you have. God is good and so are you! Keep it coming! You’ve got this! ???❤️

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 6 PM! This outdoor class is so therapeutic! ? Not only do we get to enjoy the sunset, but we also get to release stress and strengthen our body, Mind and Spirit. Motivate yourself to get there (that’s the hardest thing) once you’re there you won’t regret the feeling afterwards. ??‍♀️???

Love,

Lili ?
