Spiritual practices
There are many spiritual practices that promote inner peace, and most of them involve religious experiences. At the same time, religiosity refers to the original meaning of this concept, and not external rituals and demonstrations of faith. Translated from Latin, religio means finding a connection with your Creator. Whether it is prayer, meditation or yoga, it helps a person to feel his present, to return to the “here and now”.
Another number of practices for inner peace of mind are based on the mindset of happiness. The human brain, like a computer, can be tuned to any action if you choose the right code. For this reason, various trainings recommend starting the morning with encouraging words and good parting words.
Positivity in life
When consulting people on how to achieve inner peace, experts do not limit themselves to single answers, but give a whole list of points that need to be reviewed and changed in their lives. And one of the first is information, huge volumes of which pass through every person every day.
The main step towards spiritual harmony is continuous control of the flow of information entering the brain. And you have to be careful with her. Of course, it is best to give preference to reliable and impartial news sources, watch good films and listen to uplifting music. It is better to avoid watching cruel, depressing films, programs and talk shows that evoke negative emotions and experiences.
Also bad company would be those who are angry, complaining, critical and self-obsessed. If possible, you should avoid any contact with such comrades without becoming infected with their toxicity. It’s worth reconsidering your social circle and focusing on positive people.

How to find Inner Peace? Harmony is order, Peace is peace and balance. By putting yourself in order and harmony, you will experience inner peace. Express gratitude. Express gratitude for all the “good” and all the “bad”, for all that you experience, learn and adopt. Listen, trust and follow your intuition. Tune into the feelings that arise in your body when you make a decision. If you experience a warm, confident feeling of “everything will be fine,” then you have followed your intuition. If you experience anxiety or doubt, it means that you have gone against it. Let go of your usual way of looking at things, look at the world from a different angle. Your point of view is not “the law”, but only one of many points of view. Look at the world with an unlimited gaze that says: “I can.” Know that “this too shall pass.” Change is part of life. Be calm and patient - let everything happen naturally and organically. Develop the courage that allows you to focus on the results you want rather than the problem. Smile. A smile can open doors, turn “no” into “yes” and instantly change the mood (both yours and those around you). Smile at yourself in the mirror. Smile at family members, co-workers, and everyone you see. A smile radiates the energy of love - and what you send is what you receive. Bring what you start to its logical conclusion. Complete the circle. Unfinished business (unforgiveness, unspoken words, unfinished projects and tasks) is a heavy burden on your mind, whether you feel it or not. Every unfinished task takes energy from the present. Be true to yourself. Love yourself. Make your dreams come true and express yourself. Live in the present. You cannot return the past, and the future depends on what you think and do at the moment. Don't let life pass you by because you live in the past or the future. Don't worry. Focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Take care of your health. Take care of your body by exercising, playing sports, eating right and getting enough sleep. Increase your energy with daily exercise and monitor your well-being. The morning is wiser than the evening. In your speech, adhere to the principles of Sufism. This ancient tradition stipulates that you should only say something if: 1) it is true, 2) it is necessary and 3) it is kind words. If anything you have to say doesn't meet these criteria, don't say it. Use the off button. Avoid information and sensory overload. Use your imagination. Building the life of your dreams begins in your imagination. Start with the hardest thing. Don't put things off until later. A lot of mental and emotional energy is wasted due to fear of doing things we don't want to do. Maintain balance. Promote success and inner peace by maintaining balance in your life. The quieter you go, the further you'll get. Enjoy this journey called life. Everything will happen when the time comes. Pay attention to every moment of life and appreciate it. What's the hurry? Once you achieve your goal, new tasks and problems will certainly appear. Know how to say no. Don't let the resentment of a mistaken "yes" disturb your inner peace.

No masks
Another step on the path to inner peace is the rejection of imposed patterns of behavior (masks). It is difficult for a person to remain calm and happy when he is forced to play some roles: to be insincere, to pretend, to dodge, and sometimes to deceive. When leaving the threshold of the house, people put on peculiar guises and are no longer who they really are. They laugh when it’s not fun at all, or communicate with those who are uninteresting and unpleasant to them. These games unbalance and deprive you of mental strength.
Often masks are worn to please people or to be accepted in a certain society. Natural desire forces you to demonstrate the best models of behavior and hide your true attitude and real emotions in every possible way. In this position, a person often experiences strong internal conflict, and harmony is out of the question. Therefore, as much as possible, you need to allow yourself to be sincere with others.
Time in nature
Through medical observations, it has been repeatedly established that being in nature also has a very beneficial effect on the state of mind. This is a place where a person, feeling like a part of the universe, reveals his soul and is freed from destructive emotions and feelings. Contemplating beautiful virgin landscapes, walks in the forest, mountains, and even in a simple park help you better cope with stress and sometimes see solutions to the most difficult problems.
With longer communication with nature, it is possible to restore personality at the deepest level: wounds of the past are healed, grievances are released and eyes are opened to truly significant values. Wildlife is a good source of inner peace; it will give you strength to stay afloat in the most difficult times.
Sports activities
When counseling their patients on how to find inner peace, experts often turn their attention to exercise. Human psychology is structured in such a way that he is unable to achieve a state of spiritual harmony, realizing that he leads an unhealthy lifestyle.
During active physical exercise, the body produces endorphins, which are natural antidepressants. They have a beneficial effect on the emotional state, which is why they are called “hormones of joy.” Exercise causes an increased flow of oxygen throughout the body, including the brain, which helps reduce stress, depression and insomnia. In addition, people who regularly practice physical activity significantly reduce aggression, anxiety and tension. Sport seems to be a powerful antidepressant, helping to temporarily let go of problems, unwind and have a good rest.
