Finding Peace Of Mind

“Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organize your life around it.”

– Brian Tracy, Speaker, Author, Consultant

This quote has been my mantra since the beginning of 2010.  At times I have a tendency to bury my nose in work and develop unhealthy habits that do not make me a happy girl.  When I first read this quote, it felt like it was directed right at me.

I have met so many financially successful people who lack peace of mind lately.  They are driven and often quietly miserable.  Who says life should be miserable?  That days should be long and hard?  That peace of mind is something you should wait till retirement to achieve?

This lesson is something I have been trying to teach clients this year.  Know what makes you happy and do more of it.  Recognize your triumphs and celebrate them.  Be proud of who you are and what you have achieved.  Think about how to bring peace of mind into your life, rather than waiting for it to find you by accident.  Act with deliberation.  Be aware of the decisions you are making, rather than sleepwalking through them.  Think first, before you act.   For what do you have, if you do not have peace of mind?

Schedule some uninterrupted alone time this week to set some intentions for gaining peace of mind for yourself.  They can be in the areas of relationships, work, health, dreams you have – whatever area you think you need to pay attention to.  Keep your intentions short, but choose ones that you will focus energy and time on.

Don’t worry about what other people might think.  Do what feels right for you.
