Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
Saint Francis de Sales
Hello, ye gracious beloved readers, glad we meeting again right here. I am most glad I stumbled over this piece again, Inner peace and Happiness at the Minimalist.
Before taking most of our time in pleasantries, why not ye breathe in nature's blessings and read along?
Life in its forms brings changes in ways it deems fit and right there we are left to battle it sometimes in silence other times we do things hurriedly.
No one is perfect and this is a glimpse of my imperfections toward achieving inner peace.
I stress myself a lot and think about how badly things I couldn't change turned out and I sometimes take it out on people who wanted my mood to lighten or have me speak up.
I find their presence annoying and this erupts kinds of anger in me which disturbed my inner peace a great deal but I find ways instead not to lash out at people because I'll have my conscience judge me violently for my actions.
During these times of conflict, I found ways, though not perfected yet but have helped relieved and calm my nerves. Below are some of the things that help calm the turmoil in my inner peace.

Making people smile: You'd wonder, I said I take things out on people who try to lighten up my mood, then how come this?
I also said my conscience speaks out to me before I lash out sometimes which calms me and in my calm mind, I find myself saying things that make people giggle endlessly, and there I find a deep sigh leaving my lips with a smile.
Reminiscing on past events: Whenever I am troubled and I have no one close I sit and reminisce on past fun events where I acted stupid or done something crazy and right there I find myself laughing crazily telling myself how stupid I was, this change my mood completely and I find my inner turmoil, gone.
Play with babies:As we all know children have this special aural around them that makes you smile even on your worst days. Their innocent looks just warm my heart and relieve me of all worries.
Music/Dance: My worrisome look and aches get relieved after listening to blues or, sometimes rock music, then you'd find me with a comb in hand tapping my feet, moving my body, and singing to my heart content.
Trouble-making:馃槄馃槄 yeah, you read that right, my colleagues or friends closer to me at that moment are always found heaving uncontrollably, why?馃榾馃榾
Well, I might have found something of theirs to take just so they chase me round and round till we both get tired and left panting heavily. That sort of energy and exercise brings blissful thoughts to my heart.
Silence/Prayer: I most times love being in a peaceful environment as it clears my mind and brings me closer to God to whom I give all my worries and pray He directs me.
Nature's tune: My mind gets cleared of all troubles just by listening to nature's tune. Its music fills my soul and uplifts all worries without no stress.
