Do you long for more peace within yourself? In small steps you can find more peace within yourself. These tips help.
Find peace within yourself
It’s quite ironic when you think about it. A lot of things we do – things that make us restless and in a hurry – we do so that we can finally experience peace.
For example, we work very hard on a project, because when it is finally finished we have peace of mind. Or we feed our dissatisfaction with an endless list of things that need to be done differently . Because when we have made all those changes, “we will finally experience peace.”
The challenge of inner peace is that you cannot look for it – you can only give it space . The harder you push, the more difficult it is to experience true peace.
What can you do to find more peace within yourself? These 3 insights help me, maybe they will help you too.
1. You don’t have to change anything
That feeling that peace and happiness are always just around the corner is an illusion. And it is an illusion that can keep us entertained endlessly .
No, your next purchase will not give you inner peace. Even though you now know for sure that it is true. The same applies to all those changes you want to make within yourself.
Losing weight does not lead to inner peace. Nor is a perfect morning routine. Certainly not becoming rich and famous.
You will experience more peace if you observe your dissatisfaction and then let it go . See the unrest in your head. Notice how your ego is constantly looking for all kinds of ‘external solutions’ to find peace. And let it go quietly.
Rest doesn’t come when you run faster and faster. Peace comes when you come to a standstill.
2. Peace is what remains
The more often you manage not to act on your chronic dissatisfaction , the more inner peace you will experience.
Why? Because this way you step out of your own shadow .
You can compare it to a clear, smooth pond – this is inner peace. But a breath of wind causes waves to come into the water – this is dissatisfaction.
Instead of watching these waves until they disappear on their own, you decide to do something about them .
In your attempt to restore peace, you step into the pond to stop the waves. But this actually creates more waves. And not only that – your feet stir up the bottom, which also makes the pond cloudy.
Do you want to experience peace? Practice mindfulness: observe the waves and be patient . The water calms down, the mud sinks to the bottom – the pond becomes clear again. Dissatisfaction comes and goes.
The more you practice patience and mindfulness, the easier it will become for you.
3. Inner peace is the basis – not the goal
Inner peace is – just like health and happiness – the foundation of your daily life , not the goal.
What do I mean by that? Simple: your life runs better when you are calm. The deeper your inner peace becomes, the less you are carried away by life.
Here you can see your life as a river. In some places it flows calmly, in other places the water is very wild. Living from unrest is like being carried away on a small boat.
Sometimes the ride is pleasant but sometimes it is completely overwhelming and you are in danger of falling overboard.
Living from inner peace is more like resting on the bottom like a big boulder. Life flows through you , instead of the other way around. And because you are so stable, life cannot easily push you over.
This is a great foundation to start from. To work, take on challenges, make dreams come true, help others and spread your love. Not from that restless boat that can tip over at any moment when things get wild, but from your position of inner peace.
Regret is not nice. But luckily you have enough time to avoid that feeling. Here are 15 choices you’ll regret in 15 years. My choices may not be equal with your choices. Anyway let us move further. Read further. Thanks in advanced for reading this blog as well.
1. Pretending to be different from who you are
Living with a mask is exhausting. And I would say that living with a mask means that you are not really alive .
You can only fully enjoy your life if you can really be yourself. Learn to accept yourself as you are. Self-acceptance is one of the most valuable things you can do for yourself.
2. Taking your health for granted
Many people take their health for granted until they get sick . But that’s a risky strategy, as poor health can drastically lower your quality of life.
Your health belongs in your top 3 priorities in life . Because, after all, it is your body that makes this life possible in the first place.
3. Spend all your money
Most people go through an endless cycle that creates a full house and an empty feeling inside . They always pin their hopes on the next purchase. But if it turns out that that new smartphone does not provide lasting happiness, they look for the next.
In 15 years you won’t be thinking about all that stuff. However , your life would be better off with a financial buffer . Such a buffer provides peace of mind, resilience and freedom.
With every euro you save, you are doing your future self a favor . Of course you also want to enjoy now. But don’t forget that working towards a better future also brings you a lot of satisfaction.
4. Thinking too much about yourself
The better you can relate to others, the smoother your relationships will be. And your relationships are a huge factor in your happiness in life.
Work on your empathy. Be kind and considerate to others . Not only do you become a light for your environment. It also brings a lot of satisfaction in the end. Plus, your environment is likely to get better for you too. Nice bonus.
5. Let others determine your dreams for you
If I hadn’t fought for my own choices, I’d probably be working at an advertising agency right now with an empty feeling inside.
The beaten paths are the easiest paths to walk . But not necessarily the prettiest. When I drive to France I avoid the highways to enjoy all the beautiful villages. You can do that in your life too.
Avoid the boring highways and choose your own path. This is your life and you only get it once. Whatever others think, you decide for yourself how you organize this life.
6. Trying to control everything
As a control freak, you feel like you can get a handle on almost anything, and that’s a good thing . In reality you are wasting a lot of energy on an impossible battle.
Not only would life be boring if you could control everything. It is also simply impossible.
Be a little looser, and just dare to let life unfold . Of course you want to prepare. But you don’t want to manipulate and force. Things don’t always go your way, and that’s fine.
7. Not daring to grow
You will find the most satisfaction in growing from within. By letting go of your fears, throwing unnecessary beliefs overboard, challenging yourself and getting out of your comfort zone.
But that is also scary from time to time .
However, don’t let that stop you from growing. A life that revolves around comfort and safety is fine, but not great. You have to keep growing if you want to wake up every day with a feeling of happiness, gratitude and joy.
8. Postpone Your Happiness
Get happy first, then go and achieve all those goals. Not the other way around.
If you keep postponing your happiness , you will never experience it. Think of happiness more as health. An aspect of your life that deserves attention every day. And as soon as you have too little of it, your quality of life decreases.
A happy foundation ensures that you can achieve your goals . And that ultimately ensures that you experience satisfaction . So be happy first, then the rest will follow.
9. Wasting your time on things that make you feel empty
There are more and more ways to have fun without experiencing satisfaction. Series on Netflix, great video games, TV, movies, outings.
Sometimes it seems that entertainment is one of the most important things in our lives. While in reality it is no more than a means to entertain you.
Optimize your life for satisfaction – not pleasure . Fun is important. But if it leaves you with an empty feeling, it won’t do you any good.
10. Not Spending Enough Time With Your Loved Ones
In 15 years, all the people you love will be 15 years older. Realize that you can not push working on relationships to the future .
Your relationships belong in your top 3 priorities. By giving all your attention to your work and neglecting your relationships, you end up selling yourself short. Especially when it comes to children. Because in 15 years they will no longer be children. If you want to enjoy their childhood, do it now.
11. Always live in the future or the past
If you are constantly lost in thought, your life will fly by. Why? Because then you never live in the moment. And the now is where life takes place.
The future and the past only exist in your head. They are memories and projections that do not exist . The only thing that is true is what is there now.
Mindfulness helps you experience your life on a deeper level. To really enjoy the moment. Because the more you live in your head, the faster you run through your life. And if we learn one thing from old people, it’s that life moves so fast .
Mindfulness helps you bring your life back to a more comfortable pace. While enjoying more at the same time.
12. Taking your life so seriously it makes you stressed
A lot of things are important. But few things are important enough to feel stressed about. Dare to put things in perspective a bit .
Focus your attention on contributing to the world in a way that makes you happy. But also learn to put everything in perspective. Grow old with smile lines, not worry lines.
13. Running after the money
Money is a great tool. But it is a very weak means of generating satisfaction.
So see and use money for what it is. A means to optimize your life for freedom, happiness and meaning. But don’t see money as an end in itself . Because that mainly means that you invest a lot of time and energy in a dead end street.
If you find that your relationships, your sense of meaning and your health are giving way to your quest for more money and status – then it is definitely time to make adjustments.
14. Missing the beauty in ugliness
Everything has beauty, if you are willing to see it. Normally we filter the world on very narrow criteria. What we consider ‘beautiful’ must meet very specific requirements. But these criteria can be stretched.
Why would you do that? Easy. The more beauty you see around you, the more beautiful the world becomes . You can learn to enjoy the full spectrum of being human on this planet.
Joy, love and fun are beautiful. But sadness, hatred and fear can also be beautiful. A blooming flower can be as disarming as the flower giving itself back to Earth.
Failure can contain as much beauty as success. And a funeral can be just as beautiful as a birth.
15. Constantly judging people and events
Judgment cramps everything and everyone. The more strongly you judge people, the less the people around you dare to be themselves in your presence .
And the more you judge yourself, the smaller you make yourself.
Try Acceptance . Accept yourself, accept people around you, accept the events in your life. Notice how much peace, freedom and love this can bring. It makes your life easier, less cramped and more fluid.
And you know – you will certainly not regret more freedom, peace and love in 15 years. †
Before our eyes, the old world collapses. The new world is forming and everything is still possible. This situation requires extreme alertness. Everyone is now invited to stand up, share information and provide assistance where necessary. I call on you all to participate in the whole.
Everything is changing. The earth is in the
middle of an energetic transformation that is also expressed on the physical
level. We feel this deeply within this new running energy… an enormous desire
for inner and outer freedom, for wisdom and self-determination.
A deep desire for more peace and loving
fulfillments. Suriname is part of the whole. Do not underestimate this. Let us
continue as a large group together and move stronger.
Suriname is our Heaven on Earth
The new world is characterized by this
loving group awareness. The deeply felt recognition that we are all ONE. If we
live by this invocation, we bring heaven to earth. Or rather, we will see that
the earth IS heaven. And even more that we as Surinamese as a unity will and
will continue to be a further example for the world. I mean it from the bottom
of my heart.
This new awareness/consciousness is
accompanied by the realization that we have lived in a big bubble so far, in a world
full of misconceptions and illusions. The drive for power and money prevailed
and we had to work a lot to keep everything going.
Many people believed almost everything the
media and politics told us. Their certainties were based on these destructive structures
and were far removed from universal truth and thus from their own wisdom. I
hope that you as a reader can still follow me.
Our way in the world is to create
conditions in which others can find safety and satisfaction.
Learn to look through the eyes of your own
soul. Because never forget …
We are divine beings who have an experience
as a human being.
Changing of Power in Switi Sranang Kondre
The energetic change that we are now going
through takes place on many levels, not just politically. At the geopolitical
level, in local communities and in the soul of every individual. Yes, you too
as a citizen of the country called Suriname.
Where the new awareness takes shape, the
new world also begins to manifest itself. Whether this will be a long and
painful process or a quick and smooth transition depends on the extent to which we are open to the new energy flow.
It will certainly not go by itself, because
the old world is resisting a lot. This attempts to maintain the old structures
with medical and military coercion, among other things. In its utmost
consequence, the earth becomes a slave planet. Silenced and defiled individuals
living under the knot of a ruthless world government. That is the dream of the
old rulers, but not ours. No, not from our beloved Republic of Suriname.
In the end, the best dream wins.
Let’s help them with that! Above all, let
us realize that we are all ourselves. The world is a reflection of our
consciousness. So the fear of the old rulers is also our own fear. If we free
ourselves from that, we also deliver these opponents.
Getting rid of your own fear
The Higher Self invites you to go in, relax
first and let go of all your luggage. Not being busy with all kinds of
assignments, but just BEING. We are not human doings but human beings.
If you can let go of everything, you can start by focusing
your attention on something that you find pleasant and relaxing.
This way you learn to focus your attention
effortlessly and in the meantime you also learn to really be present in the
now, in the moment. Such a form of presence is strongly linked to your
intuition. It is ubiquity, omniscience, multidimensional consciousness. It is
the ENERGY. Living in connection with all that is around you, is making you
feel free and positive. That’s how you’re led. Here you find the truth of the
moment and you are free from fear.
The real truth is based on trust. There is
nothing to lose because it knows that its origin is universal, a
multidimensional consciousness. The real Self Truth knows where we come from
and where we move collectively. But first… what is hidden must now be revealed.
In silence and full of confidence I keep
feeding my idea, I see it as a perfect shape in my mind. I just have to wait
for it to manifest. I fully realize that I can participate in the principle of
abundance and that everyone can do it.
I know that the Universe is listening to me and that the
universal substance and the power of my own soul will fill every pure desire,
so that it will take its form on earth in Suriname. Because the development of
our inner consciousness, the knowledge of our real nature and origin, belongs
to every person. Only we have the ability to wake ourselves up and embrace new
lifestyles, helping each other. Now is the time for a spiritual re-evolution. A
new world is born from the old world. We are in the middle of heavy
contractions. This transmutation is not without a struggle. Suriname is our
Heaven on earth.
The old rulers do not like such powerful
intentional groups and dynamic local networks. They prefer to see isolated
individuals, because they are more manageable and controllable. Everything that
contributes to these small, maneuverable, self-healing, self-sufficient and
self-managing cores is thus crossed out by Mr. Global. Because of the
transformation and the knowledge that is now released by many, we will remember
who we really are: multidimensional beings. We used to be able to identify with,
for example, a religion, now something else is asked from us these days. Your
self –responsibility is needed. Dispel the illusion of separateness. We are ONE.
Dear all, with this article I hope that I
have given everyone and in particular the population of the Republic of
Suriname a real trigger to wake up and thus give their contribution and support
to the new Government of Suriname.
Suriname a Unique Nation where it’s people live and work in Peace, Unity and Harmony.
