With all the *gestures around vaguely* happening these days, finding inner peace can feel as elusive as “getting a full eight hours of sleep” or “getting cheap tickets to the Eras Tour.” But elusive does not mean impossible, friends, and that’s where these tips come in.
Use the below list as a guide.
Some are easy, some a little more involved (don’t worry, we’ve got extra tips for those), and all will help you boost your happiness and create a well of inner calm to draw from during life’s chaotic moments.
START:
Noticing your negative self-talk. Recognizing it allows you to take steps to stop these thought patterns and cultivate more self-compassion.
Making a list of things you love about yourself. It sounds cheesy, but there is lots of power in positive thinking.
Doing yoni massages: Yup, these are a thing—and they can help you connect with yourself and find areas that need attention or healing. Here’s a step-by-step guide.
Putting a time limit on tasks. Control who and what you give your time to.
Getting in touch with nature. Kick off your shoes and get in contact with the earth. Grounding has been shown to help improve sleep and reduce stress and pain.
STOP:
Trying to fix people. See also: trying to change people.
