How Not to Find Inner Peace

A Message from Noelyne....

I've just posted this on my Health and Happiness blog and felt it was very relevant here too. 
I saw the following in Natural Health magazine and thought I'd share it with you.

How Not To Find Inner Peace

1.  Striving to be Perfect
Do you remind yourself at every occasion that you've got to get this perfectly right or you will never be approved of, loved or respected?

Noelyne says: "Who wants to be perfect anyway?  What does perfect look like?  I'm not sure there is such a thing so just do your best and chill out"

2.  Comparing yourself to Others
By judging yourself and others you will get to feel smug or bad.

Noelyne says "If you know someone who is already successful at what you want to do then it's good to use them as a role model and mirror their behaviour so that you learn from them.

3.  Making Happiness Conditional
Do you constantly tell yourself you'll be happier, thinner, richer or more successful when.....?

Noelyne says:  "I agree that you are putting your happiness on hold if you think  like this.  Why wait to be happy when you can choose to be happy now!"

4.  Trying to Prove that you're someone
By pretending to be someone that you're not, you are constantly suggesting to yourself that you're not good enoughas you are.

Noelyne says:  "I agree again, just be yourself!"

5.  Spending all of your time and energy trying to make someone else happy
Some of the time this is OK, but notice how much you focus on other people's lives - do you need to mind your own business?

Noelyne says: "It's good to do little things for other people however, you cannot control their happiness, that's up to them.  Make sure you are happy first then the people in your life will automatically be happier anyway"


All the Best,

Noelyne
