“Establish mental tranquility as your top priority, and build the rest of your life around achieving it.” ~Brian Tracy

There was a time when I believed that serenity was a goal, much like how I once believed that I would ultimately arrive at happiness or success. I no longer hold this belief.

It looked like something I needed to seek for or locate, and it was certainly not something I could experience without making significant adjustments to my life.

In order to become a more calm person, I needed to reduce the amount of work I did, increase the amount of time I spent relaxing, and make general changes to my circumstances and relationships.

In spite of the fact that I viewed peace as a destination, I also saw it as something unactive; after all, the reason I was so anxious was because I had so many things to do.

Since then, I’ve come to realize that peace is always accessible, and just like any desired state of mind, it involves work, even if that work consists of intentionally choosing to stay quiet. I came to this realization because I’ve come to recognize that peace is always available.

It is true that our environments have an effect on our mental state, but they do not have to have that effect if we make even the smallest adjustments to improve our wellbeing.

When we are going through challenging circumstances, it might be difficult to make the decision to go with peace. Still, there are times when I allow myself to get consumed by anxiety and tension, and at such times, it is easy to believe that this is the only appropriate reaction to the events that have transpired.

In contrast, it is not. There is an almost infinite number of activities that each of us may do to cultivate mental tranquility, both in reaction to the happenings in our life and proactively, on a daily basis.

If you, too, want to cultivate a stronger feeling of tranquility in your life, you may find the following recommendations helpful:

Meditation

Start by devoting five to ten minutes of your time to a straightforward sitting meditation.
Take a total of one hundred deep breaths, counting each one as “and one,” “and two,” and so on, with the word “and” before the exhale and the numbers after it.
Go on a stroll and practice mindfulness by concentrating only on the sensations your body experiences while walking, such as the ground under your feet and the movement of your hips.
Go to YouTube and search for a guided meditation. While you listen to it, allow yourself to be lulled into a peaceful sense of presence.
Make it a habit to breathe in and out of each nostril in turn. After inhaling through the right nostril, you should press down on the left one and hold your breath. While pressing down on the right nostril, you should let go of the left one and exhale via the left. Now begin on the left side with an inhale, then go to the right side to exhale. This is one piece of a set. You should complete up to five of them.

Communication

As a way to release yourself from the mental burdens you’ve been carrying, write down everything that’s been bothering you and then burn the paper.
Jot down what you’ve picked up from a trying event on paper so that you may look back on it and view it as something helpful and powerful rather than as something that causes you worry.
Instead of bottling up your feelings and letting animosity grow up, express to someone how the acts of another person impacted you.
Give someone who has been refused your forgiveness a call and let them know that you have forgiven them.
If you made a mistake, apologize for it instead of dwelling on it, and then make the conscious decision to forgive yourself.

Creativity

Participate in some kind of creative therapy; get out your crayons, markers, or paint, and express all you’re feeling on a piece of paper.
Make a picture of peace using a collage. Include pictures that put you in a calm and comfortable state of mind. (If you Google “peace collage,” you’ll find a number of different ideas!)
After meditating on your preferred statement about peace, write it out in calligraphy so that it may be framed.
Go on a stroll with the express purpose of shooting lovely objects that provide you a sense of calm, such as a tree with multicolored leaves in the fall.
Publish an article on your blog about what helps you relax and unwind. (I have found that this activity brings me a sense of tranquility!)

Activity

Get up and start dancing to your favorite track, concentrating just on the music and the way your body is moving as you do so. Come back to your body and get your mind out of the way!
Go for a long stroll on the beach and pay close attention to the way the sand feels between your toes and the sound of the waves as they break. The phrase is overused, yet it really works!
To relieve stress and reconnect with the peacefulness of your surroundings, go for a bike ride in a picturesque area of the city.
Allot yourself five to ten minutes to stretch and focus on coordinating your breath with your motions (alternatively, if you have the time, stop by a yoga studio in the area and sign up for a lesson).
To create a more serene atmosphere in your house, declutter an area that is currently a mess.

Acceptance

Instead of languishing in resentment at the person who wronged you, cultivate compassion for them; this will make it much simpler for you to forgive them and release yourself from their hold on you.
Instead of spending your time plotting how to make the future better, set aside some time to actively appreciate the wonderful things that are happening in the here and now.
Instead of obsessing on the ways in which you wish you were different, make a list of the qualities you like most about yourself.
Instead of hoping the people in your life would change, concentrate on the aspects of those individuals that you enjoy about them (presuming the connections you have are healthy).
Acknowledge when you are passing judgment on yourself in your brain by saying things like “I should have” or “I shouldn’t have.” Instead, tell yourself, “I do the best I can, my best is good enough, and I’m learning and improving every day,” and you’ll feel much better about yourself.

Solitude

Get started reading the book you just purchased that is all about overcoming the difficulty you’ve been experiencing.
Make a commitment to spend time with yourself, during which you don’t have to attend to the needs of anybody else, and engage in an activity that nourishes your mind and soul. Visit a museum or eat at your go-to restaurant by yourself and just soak in the experience of being in your own company.
Go outside, find a quiet spot (e.g., beneath a tree or atop a mountain), and just let yourself be.
Consider yourself to be your own best buddy. Tell yourself everything that’s going through your head, and then provide the guidance that you would offer to a trusted friend who was dealing with the same problem.
Recite a few uplifting affirmations that will help you feel more present, at ease, and in control of the situation.

Connection

Always be honest with the people you’re in a relationship with. When we suppress our genuine emotions, we make our lives more difficult for ourselves. Be respectful while yet being forthright, and talk about how you really feel.
Recognize when you’re having criticizing, blaming, or victimizing thoughts about yourself. Express yourself and ask yourself what you can do to bring about the change that you’re looking for rather than dwelling on the mistakes that someone else may have made.
Do something enjoyable with a person you care about. Put anything that seems to be a problem out of your mind and engage in an activity that is infantile and foolish.
Find someone online who can empathize with what you’re going through and connect with them; then, develop a connection with them that is mutually helpful by sharing and listening.
Include another person in your self-care regimen; for example, invite your sister to go jogging on the beach with you or ask a friend to practice yoga with you at a studio.

Contribution

Donate some of your time to a charitable organization in which you have faith. If you focus all of your efforts on assisting another person, you will, unwittingly, end up assisting yourself.
Become a volunteer at the animal shelter in your community. Animals are a natural part of the environment, and their presence is infectious!
Without expecting anything in return for your kind deed, help out another person in any way. In the event that they inquire as to what they may do to assist you, advise them to “pay it forward.”
Use what you’re passionate about to assist another person; for example, if you’re an ambitious designer, you may create a logo for a buddy. You are able to enter the flow state by engaging in an activity that you like, while also providing the necessary assistance to another person. A perfect match!
Use your purpose to help another person, not for the sake of making money but simply because you want to. This might entail encouraging them to follow their passion or assisting them in achieving their health and fitness objectives. Give something meaningful that you have to someone else without expecting anything in return.

This might seem to be rather lengthy and overpowering, which is something that often occurs with lists of this sort. The most essential thing is that we make it a point to do at least one very small action every day to quiet our racing thoughts. What are some things that assist you in maintaining mental calm?
