Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Hope
• Positive thoughts

1. Accept things the way they are. Feeling peaceful doesn't mean your life is perfect. Peace is a state of mind. Instead of feeling trapped in your life, accept where you are and appreciate what you have.

2. Want inner peace more than you've ever wanted anything. Believe you can have it. Be open-minded. Don't be skeptical. Imagine having peace until you actually begin to feel it.

3. Look at the big picture. Your life includes a lot of different things. Let go of the little things and be content. Be grateful for what you have and stop wishing for the things you don't have.

4. Release anger and guilt. They are wasted emotions that make you feel negative. Focus on the positive. Notice the people who are there for you and the people who love you. Even when you are grieving, you can find inner peace if you let go of negative thoughts.

5. Believe in yourself. Let go of self-doubt and what-if. Follow your dreams and have hope. You can do it-you know you can.

6. Feel the positive energy around you. Feel the presence of those you've lost. Be open-minded and believe your loved ones are still here. Recognize the love of those currently in your life. People who love you send you positive energy all the time. You just have to notice it.

7. Live in the moment. If you are overwhelmed, don't worry about the next hour or the next minute. Just focus on this moment in time. Look around, concentrate on something and let your senses come alive.

8. Explore your spiritual or religious beliefs. Visit a church, synagogue or mosque. Many religious leaders preach because they have already found inner peace and want to share their beliefs with you.
