Finding Inner Peace Using Natural Solutions

 

Navigating through life and finding your inner peace can be challenging. Taking time for self-care is essential for mental and emotional well-being. Staying calm in what seems to be chaos is a skill developed over time with practice and patience. Stress can and will take its toll on our bodies. It is imperative to find your inner peace and it is okay to ask for help if you feel you are struggling to manage on your own.  Remember to be kind to yourself as you navigate life’s journey.

 

Over the past few years (actually, more than a decade) my inner compass was spinning out of control and I lost my inner peace.  I felt stressed, overwhelmed, and out of control due to life and all its glory.  I would find small pockets of peace that would sustain me until the next crisis and then I would unravel again. Being a caretaker, a nurse, and an empath, I absorbed all the emotions and energy.  I ignored my inner voice and the signals coming from my autonomic nervous system.  I thought, I can handle this and kept going.  My body sending me signals through unexplained hives for several years, overall pain and inflammation, and severe and debilitating brain fog and exhaustion.  After a few mishaps with a few medical professionals, I found a doctor who was licensed, skilled, and competent in Functional Medicine. We discovered a few root causes for my condition and have been methodically treating and healing my body. 

 

Here are some suggestions that can help you find that inner peace and help me along my journey.

 

Mindfulness and Meditation

Practicing mindfulness and meditation can be a powerful way to stay anchored in the present moment.

 

• Start with Breathing Exercises: Spend a few minutes each day focusing on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth. This helps calm the mind and reduce stress.

 

• Guided Meditation: Use apps or online videos to follow guided meditations. These can help you relax and maintain focus on your inner peace.

 

• Body Scan Meditation: This technique involves focusing on each part of your body, from head to toe, and observing any sensations or tensions. It helps promote relaxation and awareness.

 

• Essential Oils: I like to incorporate dōTERRA’s Frankincense essential oil as it is perfect for meditation and reflection.

 

 

Physical Activity

Engaging in regular physical activity is essential for maintaining mental and emotional balance.

 

• Yoga: Practicing yoga combines physical postures, breath control, and meditation, which can enhance your flexibility, strength, and mental clarity.

 

• Walking or Jogging: Spending time outdoors, whether walking or jogging, can help clear your mind and connect you with nature.

 

• Tai Chi or Qigong: These gentle martial arts focus on slow, deliberate movements and breath control, promoting relaxation and internal harmony.

 

 

Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Living a balanced lifestyle supports your efforts to stay centered and calm.

 

• Whole Food Balanced Diet: Eat a variety of nutritious foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugar, which can contribute to anxiety. Shop the perimeter of the store and do your best to avoid high-process

 

• Proper Sleep: Adults need 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. A well-rested mind is better equipped to handle stress and promotes a strong immune system.  I love doTERRA's  Serenity Sleep System, which helps me get the proper sleep that my body needs.  

 

• Limit Screen Time: Spend less time on electronic devices, especially before bed, to reduce overstimulation and improve sleep quality. Do your best to eliminate screens at least one hour before going to bed.

 

• Enhancing Your Well-Being with Supplements:  Create a strong foundation of health and wellness by prioritizing your nutrition and supporting your digestion. dōTERRA’s Foundational Wellness Bundle includes VMG+ Whole-Food Nutrient Complex, EO Mega+ Essential Oil Omega Complex, and dōTERRA PB Restore ProBiome Complex. This trifecta helps fill in those caps that our current lifestyle is lacking.

 

 

Emotional and Social Well-being

Cultivate emotional resilience and build supportive relationships to stay grounded.

 

• Journaling: Write down your thoughts and feelings regularly. This practice can help you process emotions and gain clarity.

 

• Gratitude Practice: Reflect on things you are grateful for each day. This can shift your focus from stress to positivity.

 

• Connect with Others: Maintain strong social connections. Spend time with family and friends who uplift and support you.

 

 

Setting Boundaries and Managing Stress

Effectively managing your time and energy is crucial for maintaining balance.

 

• It’s Ok to Say No: This was difficult for me. Learn to say no to activities or commitments that drain you. Prioritize your well-being.

 

• Time Management: Organize your tasks and set realistic goals. Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

 

• Relaxation Techniques: Incorporate relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or aromatherapy into your routine.

 

• Essential Oils: One of my favorite blends is dōTERRA Adaptiv® / Calming Blend. When stress and tension are high, Adaptiv Calming Blend can be a reliable tool. Diffuse it when you visit an unfamiliar place, move into a house, start a job, or need to quickly acclimate to new surroundings or situations. Whether an important meeting is coming up, you’re worried about tomorrow’s test, or Saturday’s big day, keep Adaptiv on hand as you prepare for life’s important moments. CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade® Lavender, Copaiba, Rosemary, Magnolia, Neroli, and Sweetgum essential oils come together to create a soothing, relaxing atmosphere, while Wild Orange and Spearmint contribute uplifting aromas. Whether you’re feeling fatigued or restless, indecisive or irritable, Adaptiv can help as you engage in self-care activities. Use this essential oil blend with the Adaptiv Calming Blend Capsules and Adaptiv Touch for synergistic results.

 

 

By integrating these practices into your life, you can find inner peace by cultivating a more centered, calm, and grounded existence. Set aside some time to focus on what brings you joy. Remember, it's a journey, and small, consistent steps can lead to significant improvements in your overall well-being.
