You can only find true contentment when you embrace your authentic self and make peace with who you truly are. -Doris Mortman (American author and novelist known for her captivating storytelling.)
I engage in daily conversations with a close companion who consistently inquires, “How are you doing?” This is not the typical shallow salutation we often exchange with a casual acquaintance while passing by.
He has a genuine curiosity and I typically comply by providing an authentic glimpse into my current life situation.
I started to observe that my responses included terms such as “serene,” “tranquil,” and “satisfied.” Is this the elusive state of happiness that I dedicate so much effort and time to attain?
Could it have gently alighted upon my shoulder, akin to a bashful butterfly, as I went about my daily affairs?
I dedicate myself to continuously reading and analyzing ways to enhance my limited time on this planet.
Overall, life is quite pleasant.
Similar to numerous individuals, I frequently find myself succumbing to the pitfall of attempting to accomplish too many tasks, striving to become an extraordinary individual, and excessively scrutinizing my flaws as a mere human being.
I dedicated a moment to ponder the transformations I had undergone in the past few months that had allowed me to experience a profound sense of satisfaction.
When I talk about contentment, I am referring to the sense of satisfaction and confidence I experience with my current possessions, personal qualities, and future direction.
I understand that circumstances can be unpredictable, but I believe that the present moment is truly ideal.
These are the five elements I discovered that guided me towards inner tranquility, albeit momentarily:
1.
Demonstrate modesty.
I reside in the state of Florida, where the real estate market is particularly dysfunctional.
The decline in tourism, the setbacks faced by the NASA space program, and various economic challenges have unfortunately resulted in numerous individuals losing their homes due to foreclosure.
Every day, I am constantly reminded of the importance of gratitude, especially when I think about the beautiful home I have and the joy of being able to create cherished memories with my children.
As I diligently sweep my floors, a sense of gratitude washes over me, reminding me of the abundance in my life and the pleasure I derive from nurturing it.
It may seem amusing, but numerous mundane household tasks are actually coveted by others.
Performing these household tasks not only benefits my family but also serves as a valuable lesson in humility for my inner being.
2.
Acknowledge an ample amount.
After consistent dedication and gentle guidance from individuals I hold in high regard, I have ultimately embraced the realization that my authentic existence is unfolding in the present moment.
I take pleasure in acknowledging and cherishing the achievements and positive experiences as they occur, without fixating too much on anticipating similar future occurrences.
Embracing a leisurely pace and savoring every moment is what defines the essence of existence.
Hastening the occasion can diminish the enjoyment derived from the sense of anticipation.
Disappointment often arises from having expectations, but finding contentment in accepting what I currently have brings satisfaction.
If this moment is causing you pain, consider reframing it as a period of growth rather than suffering.
The sensation of pain and discomfort serves as a catalyst for our movement.
At times, making a decision to take action can be both essential and advantageous in the grand scheme of things.
I frequently recite the affirmation “I possess all that is necessary” as a gentle reminder that the present moment is not only sufficient, but a true gift.
3.
Streamline your existence.
Let go of the things you no longer require and embrace the joy of doing so.
There are numerous things that can be classified under this category.
Possessions require both physical and mental resources to upkeep.
Negative relationships drain our optimism and tranquility.
Our sense of well-being is often compromised by the worry and despair we experience when faced with circumstances beyond our control.
Genuine crises are a rarity in life.
The challenges we face cannot be resolved through worry alone, but rather require intentional and considerate actions.
Implement proactive measures to eliminate the factors that add complexity and consequently deprive you of genuine satisfaction.
I have recently started blocking out entire days on my schedule, leaving no room for planned activities.
I have some unplanned days where I can enjoy quality time with my family at no cost.
4.
Experience genuine enjoyment.
Regret has the power to dampen the mood.
Many times, we tend to follow the path of seriousness and over-analysis when it comes to making decisions.
Being responsible is important, but it’s equally important to embrace opportunities, even if they come with the risk of making significant mistakes.
On a previous occasion, I had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas and was eager to partake in the exhilarating experience of a live poker tournament.
I got cold feet and decided to watch as my friend gave it a shot instead.
I often find myself longing to have mustered the courage to pursue that endeavor.
Does a card game determine life or death?
No, thank you.
However, I should have given myself permission to enjoy the moment, and if the opportunity presents itself once more, I will seize it without hesitation!
Honor your personal limits, while remaining receptive to new adventures and obstacles that bring about a feeling of tranquility.
5.
Create space for tranquility.
Regardless of whether you engage in prayer, meditation, immersing yourself in nature, or simply being present, grant yourself the opportunity to truly listen to the voice within your heart.
Developing a deeper connection with your inner self equips you to navigate the external world with serenity and tranquility.
Embrace the power of surrendering and allow yourself to be open to thoughts and emotions that have the potential to heal, empower, and even astonish you.
Frequently, your internal monologue has thoughts to express.
The true power of intuition becomes evident when we silence the chaotic clamor of everyday life, allowing our inner compass to guide us with unwavering certainty.
I would characterize it as being fully connected to the positive energy surrounding me.
I don’t constantly exude an aura of tranquility and serenity.
My life is constantly bustling and filled with activity, thanks to my wonderful children and demanding job.
However, by making a few conscious changes, I have discovered a period of satisfaction, and for that, my gratitude knows no bounds!
