The 7 Habits of Serenity
If you’d like to experience a more peaceful life, try adopting these 7 habits of serenity:
Create a calming morning ritual
Get up early enough that you’re not rushed in the morning
Exercise a little bit
Meditate
Read the paper with your coffee
Take a walk around the block
Be thankful
When life seems the most challenging, list the blessings in your life that bring you joy
Notice how you respond to stress
Do you feel overwhelmed by stress?
Do you overeat?
Do you work to eliminate the stress?
Do you find some way to distract yourself to avoid the situation?
Develop healthy responses to stress
Replace any unhealthy responses with something more peaceful
Try a cup of green tea, a few minutes of yoga, or calling a friend
Only do one thing at a time. Attempting to multi-task is stressful and less productive.
Minimize the noise in your life. Audible sounds, visual clutter, and the other items that you really have no need for all clutter up your mind as well as your environment.
Keep items that you need or love and get rid of the rest
Recognize that most of the time negative issues are not about you. Everyone has their own concerns to deal with. The odds are excellent that you’re not the cause of someone else’s mood or behavior
