This article will teach you how to relax your mind and create a state of “peaceful serenity.”
You’ll see things more clearly, feel more “focused,” and think your greatest thoughts from this vantage point.
You’ll also find it simpler to silence your mind and simply be in the moment.
You’ll know how to focus your attention.
My main objectives are the following:
Help you attain a state of mind that is “quiet and peaceful.”
Teach you to live in the present moment. which I spoke about in great depth in episode, 83 click here to 🎧 listen now: https://apple.co/3Av40OQ
Guide you to a mindset where you’re calm, prepared, and resourceful.
If you’ve never experienced a sense of tranquility, the best way I can explain it is like seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time.
Your mind simply absorbs everything.
There’s no need to be concerned about the past, present, or future. Your attention is completely focused on the present moment.
Your mind is captured by the sensation for that little instant. Your mind is vacant, yet you are completely attentive, attentive, and unaffected by any mental chatter or head movies.
Rather than reliving images in your head, you become the film.
While the world may appear to be a jungle, fight-or-flight mode might prevent us from thinking clearly.
We need to function from a position that is “focused” and tranquil to think our finest thoughts, develop our greatest ideas, or handle our issues in the most resourceful way.
Your mind is calm, prepared, and receptive.
The terms quiet, concentrated, serene, and peaceful spring to mind when I think of “quiet calm.”
Restful, resourceful, easygoing, receptive, and ready are some of the other words that come to mind.
A strong mind is one that is empty.
It’s all set to go. It’s calm, prepared, and responsive.
Respond with aplomb
When your mind is calm, you can process information more clearly. You’re linked to your emotions, but instead of being overwhelmed or randomized, you’re using them as input.
You are receptive when your mind is prepared.
Instead of reacting out of fear or worry, you can clearly recognize the situation and respond with expertise.
When your mind is resourceful, you may readily imagine things that are beneficial to you. Instead of working against you, your creative mind is eager to work with you to solve issues.
With that in mind, here are the essential stages to creating a state of Peaceful Calm.
Step 1: Create a mental image that will help you achieve your “peaceful calm.”
Consider a period when your mind was the most comfortable, ready, and resourceful it could be.
Make a mental image of this encounter.
Take note of how it feels. One by one, walk through your five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste): What do you think you see? … What do you think you hear? … How do you feel?… What do you think you’re smelling? “How do you like it?”
If your image is of a beach, you could hear the waves crashing on the coast, feel the sand between your toes and the warm sun on your shoulders, smell the boardwalk, and taste the salt in the air.
Simply strolling your senses will vastly increase your capacity to recall the sensation completely.
The more you practice, the more proficient you get.
Step 2: Jot down everything that’s going through your mind.
It doesn’t matter if it’s things that are bothering you or thoughts that keep popping into your head. Empty it and keep emptying it till it’s completely empty.
Take a deep breath and exhale a sigh of relief.
You’re staring at a piece of paper that represents your thoughts.
Step 3: Establish a schedule and a location for things.
Create an appointment with yourself, add it to your agenda, and remind yourself that you have an appointment to “deal with it” anytime the issue arises.
One thing I’ve learned is that if I don’t eat well and get enough sleep, my “calm state of mind” suffers.
I’ve also discovered that consuming too much coffee detracts from my “calmness.”
What occurs is that my mind needs to keep evaluating and making sense of the feeling I’m getting from the caffeine in my body – is it the caffeine or is there anything else I should be concerned about?
It’s a monotonous loop.
Additional Techniques for Self-Centering and Developing a Peaceful Calm
Here are a few more tips to help you attain a serene state of mind:
Remove the danger.
The threats in your life are the one thing that might keep gnawing at you.
By removing the dangers, you can strengthen your foundation.
You must either determine what to do about it, let it go, or decide that this is not the way you want to live. – I spoke more about letting go of what no longer serves you in episode 183, Click here to 🎧 listen now: https://apple.co/37w0Yx7
Reframing a danger as a challenge and seizing the bull by the horns is one of the most effective methods to cope with it.
Another option is to prepare for the worst-case situation. Let’s assume you’re in danger of losing your job.
Then assume you’ll lose it and make the necessary preparations, such as enlisting the help of staffing firms, expanding your network, and crafting a strong résumé.
Make a mental map of what’s essential to you.
This easy procedure will provide your mental clarity and a location to focus your ideas when they are jumbled or scattered.
Make a list of your goals and objectives. Discover your reason for being.
Finding your why reduces your existence to a single driving objective.
It provides a straightforward method for prioritizing and evaluating how you will spend your time and energy.
Learn to take a breather.
You may respond rather than react by taking a quick pause. It will help you stay grounded and act more efficiently in more scenarios.
Reconfigure your mental model
“Who do you want to be?” you might wonder. and “How do you want to build experiences?”
Do you want to be a chicken with its head cut off, or do you want to demonstrate self-control, confidence, clarity, and intentional action?
When you feel yourself off track, simply executing a reset might help you re-center yourself.
Concentrate on your breathing.
Given how much we breathe all the time, you’d think we’d be good at it.
It’s simple to become anxious and start breathing shallowly instead of deeply.
Concentrate on your breathing if you want to find your core.
Simply follow the movement of your breath in, out, down, and around. When it’s fully in, take a moment to observe how a full, deep breath feels.
Simply take a deep breath now and appreciate it. 🤍 Then go ahead and have another; it’s on us. 🤍
Visualize.
This is especially useful if you have a strong visual sense.
Simply recollect some of your favorite settings or events from your life where you had a sense of “quiet tranquility.”
This will aid in remembering the sensation and provide your mind with a quick way to focus on something it is already familiar with.
Adjusting your frame of reference can help you put things in their proper perspective in your own life.
These techniques allowed me to reach a peaceful state each time I felt overwhelmed and stressed. Give them a try. I promise they will work wonders.
