Inner peace, I must admit, is a difficult state to attain. I also have my bouts of fear, anxiety and depression; yet with all my might I do my best to step above it. I oftentimes associate myself with my mind, but our minds are full of noise and it does not welcome silence. It goes back and forth with illusions that is the source of our agitations.

To experience inner peace requires the letting go of the mind. It takes wisdom to attain this capacity. In my struggle, I learn to let my mind as it is; calling upon my inner self, I had managed to observe my mind and detach from it.

I like the first one, I find myself heading to my computer when my little boy goes down for a nap. I tell myself I’m relaxing but I know that my brain is still running on overdrive. Then I wonder why I’m so exhausted every day.

I also suffer from anxiety (well, a recent diagnosis said OCD) I do some of the things on your list and they really help, but some of the others I think I need to work at.

I like to sit on my balcony with a cup of tea, perhaps a pastry too, and watch birds fly past and the children playing on the playground in front of my apartment.
I also used to do Yoga every morning (before I had a little boy) and found it the perfect way to start my day with a clear mind. I should really take it up again.
