Four Good Ways to Find Inner Equilibrium

I recently made a fascinating discovery about myself, and I wanted to share it with you all. It’s about the intriguing difference between my mind and my spirit.

Sometimes my mind tends to get a bit down and gloomy. It can feel like there’s a cloud of pessimism hanging over my thoughts. You know, those moments when everything looks like a challenge and the glass appears half-empty.

But here’s the twist: My spirit is like a beacon of positivity and optimism. It’s that part of me that believes in the silver lining, the potential for growth, and the power of resilience. It’s like this eternal flame that refuses to be extinguished by the temporary darkness in my mind.

It’s kind of like having this constant tug of war between the gloomy mind and the cheerful spirit.

But you know what? It’s rarely a bad thing.

In fact, this interplay between my mind and my spirit keeps me in balance and teaches me valuable lessons about overcoming challenges. I often find it keeps me on my toes, wondering how I am going to progress with my day.

I’ve recently learnt, from lots of good reading and podcasts, its about finding that elusive inner balance between a downcast mind and a hopeful spirit.

So I’ve broken the best ways to find Inner equilibrium into four ways – so you can also do it.

Self-Awareness:

First and foremost, I’ve learned that self-awareness is the key to finding equilibrium. Understanding the source of the disconnect between my mind and spirit was crucial. By paying attention to my thoughts and emotions, I could pinpoint the moments when negativity took over.

Positive Affirmations:

One powerful tool I’ve found is positive affirmations. When my mind starts to dwell on the negative, I counter it with uplifting and encouraging statements. It’s amazing how a simple mantra can reshape your perspective and remind you of your inherent positivity.

Mindfulness and Meditation:

Practicing mindfulness and meditation has been a game-changer. These techniques help me stay rooted in the present moment and prevent my mind from wandering into the realms of pessimism. Taking time to breathe and focus on the ‘now’ has been incredibly soothing.

Surrounding Myself with Positivity:

I’ve realized that the company I keep and the activities I engage in have a significant impact on my equilibrium. Spending time with people who inspire and uplift me, as well as immersing myself in activities that bring me joy, has a profound effect on aligning my mind and spirit.

So, here’s the takeaway:

It’s perfectly normal to experience moments of uncertainty and negativity in your thoughts. However, always keep in mind that your spirit, that constant wellspring of optimism, is there to lead the way.

Embrace this wonderful duality within yourself, and you’ll discover newfound strength and resilience in unexpected corners of your life. Personally, I’ve unearthed this balance through extensive reading of fantastic books, as well as a fair share of psychiatric and psychology blogs.

Stay positive, my friends, and let your spirit shine!
