Peace Is Precious

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” ― Albert Einstein

‘What on earth would bring peace in my life?’

Isn’t this a common question in almost every persons’ mind around you? Yes, it is. Because life is unpredictable and miserable too, we cannot see what is coming in our way. So, craving for peace is something we see everywhere. Peace refers to psychological and spiritual calmness.

Albert Einstein said that peace will not stop by whenever you want, but it can be only attained through structured thinking and understanding. Having control over your emotions is the key point. Peace is thoroughly important to not just thrive but to survive too.

Like seriously! What would we do with our lives without peace? We will not find any development, creativity, and balance happening in our life. You will just stay where you were when your peace was destroyed and unfortunately, there is a chance of moving back too.

Peace when present can be a treat when absent can be a threat to your life. One might end up in a terrible hubbub when peace leaves life. Peace will be destroyed when you have stress, fear, and some worry disturbing your mental state. Well! it is impossible to undo their presence in your life but you can cope up. They can be handled subtly which helps in redeeming your peace. Peace is precious, one acknowledges its value when it goes. It can rip families and friends apart. It can result in severe mental problems such as overthinking, stress, anxiety, and depression.

Peace of mind is certainly essential for every individual. It keeps you relaxed. It reduces stress and makes you feel better. Problems do not seem bigger when you carry the peace of mind with you. Your decisions will be better because you will not see how big the problem is instead you will try finding a solution once and for all. When you have stressed your decision-making ability fades slowly. You need peace for things to go in a proper way.

What disturbs your peace?

Peace is tender it can be disturbed easily. Peace can totally turn your way and lead you into darkness.

Family and Peer pressure:

A family should strengthen you in every way it can, right? But unfortunately, at times this family can pressurize you.

Family pressure and peer pressure can occur mostly in adults. At that age, studies are very important as it decides our career. So parents are more intimidated and push their children constantly. Some parents are worried that their kids might not take this seriously.

Another case of family pressure is chaos. It can be parents fighting all the time, or less love and care from them. If parents keep fighting all the time at home, it can hugely affect the child’s peace. The kids’ focus will be lost somewhere. He/she will not be able to concentrate on the work they are doing. Parents should be supportive but not be the reason for their kids’ disturbance. In this process, some stop caring about their children which is also a bad sign.

Financial struggles can also intrude on one’s peace. They will keep running on in our minds. If you are going through a financial problem, you will lose hope and will be scared of taking up new tasks.

Peer pressure is nothing but influenced by others to act in a particular way. Peer pressure mostly happens in a negative way. A person who is less confident and confused is likely to be influenced. So people around will be waiting to take advantage. And those things can lower your self-confidence even more. You will be dug into bad habits like making bad decisions, smoking, consuming alcohol, and doing drugs also. This peer pressure will affect your inner peace. You will think you are running towards peace but the kernel of truth is you running away from it.

When you can’t let go:

When a terrible tragedy from your past is getting back to you, how can peace be also in the same room? This is often referred to as PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. When you can’t get over an incident that happened long back you can’t afford to have your peace. So it is the finest decision to let bad things go and start all over again. It certainly restores your peace.

Letting others take over:

Let a Greek tragedy come and sit in your lap, but do not ever depend on others totally. Sharing is quite distinct from depending, try noticing that thin line. When you let others take over your emotions, you will extremely regret later. In the beginning, you will feel light for there is a helping hand, but gradually you will start feeling insecure as they invade your private space and you will be wanting to make your own decisions. This bothers your inner peace.

Carrying responsibility:

When someone is your responsibility, your peace is at stake. When a step took will suffer you, then it is fine. But if the impact is extended to someone else, you will think again and again before making any decision in your life. Peace will not be stable when you have too much on your plate. That is why so many ambitious people cut ties with serious relationships.

Comparing yourself with others:

‘I wish I had the life she has!’, ever heard tantrums like these? These folks are never satisfied with their lives. Even though they have everything to reach their comfort level, they will still want more. Peace is definitely not your asset if you keep comparing yourself with others. Self-satisfaction is truly significant to lead a happy life.

Overthinking:

Overthinkers are the real heroes, they dig their own pit and fall into it with their own realization and acknowledgment. No conspiracies, no backstabbing, you are your own enemy. Overthinking is no profit, instead, it is a menace. Thinking about the past is much more useless. It leaves you unsettled. Forget about peace if you are an overthinker, it is not going to stay with you.

Loneliness:

Some consider loneliness as a privilege, mostly introverts. Some respect their private space and staying alone is not a big deal for them. But loneliness is a trouble for many, they consider it as a punishment. They cry for a company, in this mess they hurt themselves too. Mental problems will emerge such as depression. Peace can be disrupted if loneliness is your problem.

Restore your peace:

Yoga and meditation
Exercise daily
Do things that make you happy
Stop worrying about your past
Spend time in nature
Focus on important things
Follow a routine

In this way, life has many ways to treat you. Your job is to acknowledge the nice ways. Your peace is in your hands, it is not in the air. So as long as you do things that protect you peace is fine, but think twice before stepping into a new ride. Restoring your peace is not so easy, it will cost you so much of your time. So try not to lose it. Once you drop it, searching and restoring will not be an amazing journey.
