Well, if you are earnest enough and your desire is strong, you can find it and enjoy it in your everyday life.
What Is Peace of Mind?
Let me clarify and say that peace of mind is not just the non-existence of worries when everything in your life is running smoothly. It exists not just when you feel safe and when you are financially in good condition.
It is a state of inner tranquility. It is a mental, emotional and spiritual tranquility and poise, which does not depend on external conditions. In this state, there is a quiet and controlled mind and no overthinking.
With a peaceful mind you can direct your attention in accordance with your will, to anything you want, without distractions and loss of attention.
- Peace of mind is a state of inner peace, when your mind is calm, like the surface of a lake on a summer day.
- It is a state when thoughts and worries do not harass you, and you can avoid the thoughts you don’t want to think.
- It is a state of freedom from worries and anxieties, and from restless, negative and disturbing thoughts.
In this situation, there is calmness and happiness, better concentration, inner strength, and a heightened state of awareness. Your external life might not necessarily change, but your inner life, your mind, and your attitude would change.
