Is Peace Of Mind On Your Mind?

My recent clients inspired me to write this blog; whose main goal was to achieve peace of mind. Circumstances might be different, issues and lifestyle might be different but isn’t ‘Being at Peace’ the bottom line for most of us.

When we all seek for peace, why don’t we have it?

Let me share one of my client’s story (with her permission) to look at the common causes which sucked peace from of her mind and life.

Sangita (name changed), a working mom was stressed at work and home too and was not able to enjoy any thing fully. Small things would trigger and knock off her sanity and peace. For example –

• She’s been trying to loose weight for long, without success but when she sees many of her friends doing it like it’s hunky-dory.

• When someone said or did something hurtful to her, broke her trust or if things did not go as she expected.

• She was not able to understand how others can manage a business, social life, health, social media while being a mom and managing their house very well.

Do you find yourself in some of those places? You are not alone!

Pay attention: You can never have peace and happiness until that is your top priority.

Let me explain: If someone says or does something that hurt your feelings or expectations, you get upset and react or resspond to the circumstance. In that moment, you are indulging yourself into thoughts like how could they do that to me? If I were them, I would have done differently… so and so.

What if in the middle, you take a pause and say; I have no idea why did they do that (even if it seems like you know why). And you affirm, what I surely know is I want to make peace with whatever has happened.

The way I can do that is find a very good reason why they did it, something like: They are only doing their best and they didn’t know how to behave better.

Or may be they’re in a bad mood/unhappy, or someone else had treated them badly. When we see other person unhappy or struggling themselves, it is much easier to let go, forgive them and move on…

I worked with Sangita on integrating joy deeply in her life, so this becomes a natural part of her life and she can come back to her centre of peace and joy every time it is shaken by an external force. Some of the areas we worked upon –

1. Comparison takes you away from peace. Every time you compare, ask yourself what do you want to choose? Peace or comparison?

2. When you judge others for anything, you’re only looking at a part of their reality because the whole reality no one knows. Remember:

3. Everytime you hold guilt or shame for self or a grudge or resentment for someone else, you’re only hating yourself! Why?

Because hurts, grudges, guilts and blames are like slow poisons and every time you feel them, you are poisoning yourself and no one else.

In the lifelong road to peace, we can have peace even in the midst of storm, only if we choose internal Peace to be our top priority!

So what do you choose?

Now, if it stirred any questions in your mind, that’s really good. You’re on the right track. Feel free to share your questions with me and I’ll love to answer.

Few words from Sangita – Sessions with Saloni were so deep and meaningful. I had many breakthroughs and the techniques made it so much easier to work through something I felt was so hard. I can say I am already 80% there, a huge leap for me. Thank you 🙂

Many thanks to her for being an amazing client!

Much Love.
