We live in a wonderful but chaotic world, so day to day activities can lead to stress and anxiety. I'm on a journey to find inner peace and hopefully to discover what I can do to achieve a more purposeful existence. This is my journey to expand my knowledge and awareness of old and new ways in order to achieve internal tranquility. It may be a slow journey but a forward one. I look forward to growing in this process of peace and happiness. Join me in this journey of finding Inner Peace!
According to the Taoist the path to inner peace is self-acceptance. There are many paths for finding inner peace but the main challenge is finding a way that works and a technique that fits your general nature.
In Zen a person is taught to keep asking oneself questions and then more questions until the mind overloads and then just lets go. The goal is to empty your mind of questions. In Taoism one learns that everything is relative where most answers are not worth chasing. When you reach this point you then are able to reach acceptance.
Other ways to reach inner peace is by learning to quiet your mind. If you notice, most problems begin in the mind. Things like external events (noise, electronics, unfortunate events, etc.), self-doubts, underlying beliefs, judgement, resistance, etc., can distract the individual from reaching the path toward inner peace.
It must be remembered that inner peace is not achieved through self-improvement but comes from self-acceptance.
The journey begins. . . . . . .
