40 Days to a Better You

Transcending Thursday

Everyday we are faced with the daily routines of life. Routines that keeps us moving and busy from sunrise to sunset. We barely have time to eat and allow our bodies to digest our food, without having to take on another task. With all the demands on our time and attention where do you find peace of mind? To surrender your thoughts, embrace tranquility, and to let go is a hard task for many. In today's society one must go on a retreat, a sabbatical, or a vacation in some cases in order to experience tranquility and peace of mind.

The Lord gives strength to his people;

the Lord blesses his people with peace.

Psalm 29:11

To experience a true state of calmness the mind must first free itself from the noise and negative self talk that bombards our quest to be free. By replacing the negative mind chatter with beautiful thoughts of waterfalls, sunsets, fields of flowers in early spring, blue skies, etc. you can create a state of calmness whenever, and wherever you may find yourself. You must first determine what visual stimulation brings you a state of peace, and practice your unique road to calmness everyday.

Surprisingly, you can find tranquility at home just by dedicating a specific time and place in your home that represents peace and serenity. A place that gives you a sense of calmness. Keeping calm is the first step toward the door of tranquility, for through that door you will find freedom from worry, stress and other non productive emotions that increase your adrenaline and get the heart beating fast...
