When I was younger, if someone said, “the ultimate experience in life is inner peace”, I would have thought, life cannot be that simple. However, it really is. When you have inner peace, you have a calm and unshakeable spirit and a deep well of strength.

You can have inner peace and still experience stress, chaos, or conflict in your life. With inner peace, you process stress in a different way. The every day stressors and even the big stressors of life don’t have power over a person filled with inner peace.

Three years ago, I nearly died and when I woke up in ICU with a serious diagnosis, I battled panic, depression and grief while I was in the hospital. A few days after I arrived home, I came to the place of perfect peace. I thought, my whole professional life, I have been teaching people to turn to spirituality, mindfulness, and mindset principles. I decided I would do the same to save my own life. I also decided that if I was going to die soon, I was going to do everything I wanted to do and to live life to its absolute fullest. I had faith in healing, yet at the same time, I was in complete acceptance. I stopped resisting and fighting against my diagnosis.

In a few weeks, my heart healed from virus caused heart failure and a few years later, I was cleared to train for a marathon if I wanted. I attribute my healing to focusing on inner-peace and letting go of all petty and unimportant thoughts and things. I chose to focus on happiness and joy. My daily success ritual habit was a cornerstone of maintaining peace. I was thankful that I had already installed this powerful habit before I got sick.
I practice a daily ritual for inner peace, joy, and love which are the foundations of success. I have been doing some form of this ritual for over ten years. Right now, my success ritual looks like this:

Every morning, I write in a journal. I write a gratitude list and I write a manifestation list. I write down who and what I am thankful for and why. Then I write thank you for everything that I want to happen like it already happened. I light candles and say a prayer of thanks. I read something inspirational. Then I stretch for about five to ten minutes and do a quick work out with dumbbells and push-ups.

Letting my heart be filled with appreciation and love is the way I like to start my day. Then I am ready to concentrate on my daily goals and tasks.
As the day unfolds, I manage stress with energy exercises like tapping and deep breathing. I also use positive affirmations and prayer. If my thoughts turn to worry, I gently guide them back to something productive and fulfilling. I focus on the fact that I am always in a place of choice regarding the thoughts I entertain.

People are mostly good. That is the way I see it. I feel responsible for spreading a message of kindness, love, acceptance, and peace. If I get upset, I do what I personally can to initiate positive change. I don’t attack and I focus on possible solutions. I try to notice when I am ‘judging rather than discerning. I try to be love instead of getting stuck in fear.

This is the path of inner peace for me.
