Just sharing one incident many can correlate. It was a sunny morning. I was really in a pleasant and peaceful mind. For the last few days I had much work pressure due to a project. Ultimately, I submitted the project late night before going to bed. At last I got a chance to sleep. It was the early morning, was fully drained from inside, but still I was feeling very calm and peaceful from inside as my work was finished.

As due to Covid situation it was work from home, so in the morning I joined the online office few hours lately. For some unnecessary reasons my boss was rude to me! You know how this feels! You couldn’t say anything, just a frustration comes. You stay agitated and if you keep brooding on it like me then obviously you ultimately harm yourself.

Taking care of our own body is the most vital to stay in a healthy mind. Healthy mind helps to stay clam and peaceful from inside. Now for taking care of body I wanted to mean the whole thorough daily care from a healthy diet to adequate sleep for every day.

You know our body responds very quickly to any changes. So when for some reason you are disturbed it will automatically try to cope up with the situation and if you have a healthy body, the body will itself help you to stay happy.

Give yourself time —

When you face some unexpected incident that takes your peace, just take a pause… If you have very little time then just withdraw yourself for maybe 2/3 minutes. Write down your feelings in a piece of paper, bring out all your words even slang. Don’t be miser, just write straight from your heart.

After finishing the writing, read it again and again. Then either burn the paper into ash or flash it. You will discover 60% of your frustration will vanish. This is a very effective way to be calm and peaceful from inside even at a very bad time. Try it once and let us know how it worked for you.

Stay positive —

Never ask yourself ‘what if’ in such situations. Rather think ‘never will’. I know its difficult but possible, just you need an urge. Staying positive is the best way when you know it will help you.

Give yourself the priority —

Yes, you will have to give yourself the top most priority in any and every situation. Your top most priority should be you! Not even your spouse or children because if you are calm and peaceful from inside only then you can help them better. So give yourself priority and when you will start to prioritize self you will be able to eliminate the negative people, interruptions from your life.

Learn to divert your mind —

I personally found it toughest to achieve but after you learn it, the rest is really easy. Now the question is how you can divert your mind? Please a beer mug can’t help in it! The best way to divert your mind is to choose something to do that you love to do most, anything engaging.

You can even try to learn something new to divert your mind! Now this is really a personal choice and will vary from person to person. You will have to decide what will work best for you to divert your mind…

Learn to trust yourself —

Many times confusion creates irritation in our mind and with our insecurities we become restless and actually hamper our mental peace. So learn to trust on self. Maybe sometimes for some situation you will have to go few steps back but that is not the end. As successful people say, even any failure can give new beginning. So trust on yourself. If you have any confusion discuss with expert or even with your elders but learn to trust self.

Share with your trusted ones —

Nowadays its said that sharing is caring. But its true that when you are in a sad mood then sharing with your trusted ones give you a relief and peace to your mind. Try it.

Don’t give others so much importance —

If you think logically no one is supreme in this world. Not even our president! Jokes apart every one has the higher authority irrespective of their field and profession. So don’t give anyone such importance that when they say something can hurt you. No one can be more important than your well-being. So from next time when someone will shout on you keep in mind we have two ears— one for entering words and the other is for exit of those words!

Here we mentioned the best possible way to overcome the inner agitation and frustration that takes our valuable time. Once we can win over these negative emotions, one can find themselves really free and peaceful. So always consider to stay positive and calm, it heals our body. In this pandemic time this healing is necessary. Stay healthy and happy.
