In a tough, busy world how do we find Inner Peace?

Most of us appear to be in a society of doers, we sometimes forget how to simply BE.

What are some ways to ease our discomforts? Or some thoughts/comments on how to reintroduce enlightment in our lives?

Inner peace...where do I find it?

Sitting out the back of the wave break, just kind of rolling with the swell......

Sitting on my deck...feet up on the rails...cold drink in hand....smooth tunes on the stereo...looking out to the horizon...

Watching the world go by...


Pucks, to answer your question...as best I can....I feel, I see, I hear...I am affected, however, I find I do just BE......more often, than I don't.

I don't have a desire to prove anything...or to be acknowledged for, so I don't get too worn out trying to be all things to everyone. I am only one person.....me.

I chose to move out of the big city and into a rural lifestyle.

Worked wonders for me. wink

I think Lenes daughter said it best in her poem....take time to remember the beauty in simple things......


I watched flocks of birds swarm out of trees as I was driving down the interstate today. It was actually beautiful how they all flew in unison against the setting sun....at that single moment I was at peace.

Left the big city...sold house...most material belongings....moved back home....started over...feel much less stress...with holy blue-jeans.....if you have nothing...no one can take it from you...I appreciate much more often now the things that are not owned by me....Freedom....nature's little wonders on Earth...a person's laugh or smile....sun rise over the Lake...sunsets....swans in the Spring...wildflowers....even the smell of fresh dirt...hope that's not a sign....laugh

For me its something really simple and may seem kinda different to some people. Every sunday I get in my truck and drive to the river up in the mountains where I live. Drink my coffee and just kinda sit there and reflect for about an hour. Always feel better and look forward to it every sunday morning.

You all have good thoughts and comments.

I think keeping it simple is critical like Jess and Abra have mentioned.

-learn to enjoy nature
-learn to enjoy silence
-figure out what you need to get well
-slow down
-create simplicity, not austerity

Coffee, gives you inner peace? confused hmmm i would think it only satisfies an addiction.

Some of the harder stuff i find are;

-Accepting the things i cant change.
-stop worrying
-learning to see problems as gifts.
-getting comfortable with change.
-keeping energy up.

It is true...Nature does bring inner peace. I know when traveling and seeing some of the beautiful countryside and the creatures that come with it it is truly an awesome feeling..

I have found the easiest way to bring inner peace is to not try so hard. Because inner peace always finds it's way on it's own, one way or another and once again all is good.


Until the next bad day comes and the cycle begins again

No...not inner peace in coffee...inner peace in knowing I can live just a peacefully without it...and how much more you appreciate something so small after being without it....just like the experiment of not watching TV for a whole year....I did that just before I began college about five years ago...

this is deep but i also find inner peace through God. I have Christian values and like my bible reading at times. While i am no bible thumper i find picking up the book valuable.

I go fishing, hiking, drive into the mountains about 5 minute drive to them, or just go out and take pictures.

Just watching my son at play. He has no worries about bills, deadlines, etc. A paper sack that crinkles can bring a smile to his face. I admire his innocense and find it very calming.hug
