Maintaining Inner Peace

How do you maintain your inner peace? Do you pray, do yoga, run, or talk to a friend? What creates the balance in your life?


Stress is one of the leading killers in our society. It is linked to cancer, heart disease and obesity. A stressed person is very unlikely to close a deal, sell wares or attract positive people and situations. Stress also ages people prematurely causing wrinkles and gray hair.


So what can you do about stress?

***Read for pleasure
***Do exercise
***Get fresh air
***Have a bubble bath
***Draw, take pictures or do some other creative activity
***Take a scenic drive somewhere or even to work
***Pray/Visualize/Meditate

Try incorporating at least one of these activities this week. If possible try to have one of these activities at least every other day. The goal should be to have a stress reducing activity at least once a day. If you are too hectic, work on achieving three a week. The immediate outcome is that you will feel better. The long-term outcome is that you will live longer.

Invest in yourself and your inner peace.
