Maintaining Your Inner Peace

Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be. Wayne Dyer

Maintaining your inner peace is a process, just like earning your black belt. When you first start training in a dojo, you have to learn certain things which are totally foreign to you, and you have to unlearn some of the things which you have been doing wrong for years. When you have done something over and over for years, it becomes ingrained in both your mind and your physical body. It takes time and effort to break those bad habits and to replace them with new habits that are more advantageous for you.

Most of us have many bad mental habits that we have developed over the years as a defense mechanism we use in dealing with stress, rude people, or people we are in a relationship with such as friends, family, and our significant others. And many of those habits are contrary to maintaining inner peace in our lives.

Dr. Wayne Dyer taught that “Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.” This is an important point. Since inner peace resides in your mind, you must retrain your mind to see things differently. You must let go of your expectations. Stop expecting life to be as you think it should be and start accepting life as it is. Stop expecting other people to behave as you think they should, and simply accept them as they are.
