Guida per pensare in pace
In the frenzy of daily life, it's easy to get lost in thoughts about the past or worries about the future. These common issues can cause distress, but fear not, for there are strategies to help you find peace and empowerment.
Legendary life coach Tony Robbins aptly puts it, "When you get in your head, you're dead." By recognising this, we can begin to take steps towards a calmer state of mind.
One effective method is to divert attention away from internal thoughts by noticing outer noise. This simple act can help break the cycle of overthinking and bring us back to the present moment.
Another strategy is to adopt a powerful mantra. The phrase "I am the creator of my life. Whatever I think about creates my reality" can help shift our emotional state and remind us of our control over our thoughts and, consequently, our lives.
Kindness, too, plays a crucial role in finding calm. It is, as Susie Moore, a former Silicon Valley sales director turned life coach, advice columnist, and author of the book "What If It Does Work Out," puts it, the "ultimate calming and empowering force." Helping someone can make you feel happier, more connected, and uplifted almost immediately.
Meditators understand that we are not our thoughts. Having angry thoughts does not make us abusive. Instead, mantras can instantly center us and help us focus on the present moment. The mind, when viewed as an ally, can be your buddy, playmate, and coach, guiding you towards a more peaceful state.
Focusing on someone else can also make one more powerful, lighter, and stronger. Susie Moore, who lives in Miami with her husband Heath and Yorkshire Terrier, Coconut, emphasises the importance of this shift in focus.
To get into a calm zone, one can release judgement of thoughts, recite a mantra, and notice outer noise. Remember, the present moment is all you've got - it's all you ever have. You will never have to handle a single thing that is not in the present moment.
The mind, like any other tool, wants to be promoted and given the job it deserves. By treating our minds with kindness and respect, we can harness its power to help us overcome distress and find peace.
