34. Use your energy for good
image source: reddit.com
Energy is a powerful thing, and it can make sure a difference how you use it. You attract the same energy you give out. So if you're wasting all the day's energy by complaining about something, being stressed or gossiping about co-workers, this isn't going to help!

36. Give and find meaning in things
image source: reddit.com
Not the other way around! Many people think that it's objects or money that give their life meaning, but it's up to you where you want to place the focus.

Easier said than done, we know! But this is such an important one in finding your inner peace.

39. Be positive and optimistic
image source: reddit.com
You really do have the power to control how you react to something, and how you view certain situations. Try to view things with a 'there's always a silver lining' mindset so that you can approach things in a more positive way. Even if you don't feel overly positive, fake it 'til you make it!
40. Remind yourself life is short
image source: reddit.com
Life really is too short, and though it may sound like a cliché to say 'live every day like it's your last', it really is true that you should make the best out of every situation, and don't waste the limited time you have fretting about things or putting yourself in stressful situations you could do without.
41. Be kind
image source: reddit.com
It takes a lot more effort to be rude and stressed than it does to be kind. If you always try to be kind, then you can rest easy knowing that you never tried to offend anyone, or live with guilt of being rude or nasty to someone on an off day. If you always try to be kind, you'll always likely feel at peace with yourself!
42. Know that others who lash out aren't at peace
image source: reddit.com
When others lash out at you, it's only a reflection on them and not you.

Just leave them to it - preserve your energy!
43. Have realistic expectations

As the saying goes 'if you don't get your hopes up, you can never be disappointed'! That's not to say you shouldn't get excited about things, but setting realistic expectations and boundaries for people and for situations will help you to avoid hurt, anger or negative emotions.
44. Prioritize yourself
image source: reddit.com
It's important to put yourself first - without being too selfish, of course. Caring for yourself and knowing your own worth is a crucial step in inner peace. You should make the time for relaxation and self-care, and don't flake out on plans you make with yourself!
45. Be true to who you are
image source: reddit.com
Only when you fully accept who you are and stop trying to be something else will you find that inner peace. It takes so much energy to base decisions on what others think, or what you think you should be doing. There's nothing more easy than simply being yourself.
46. Stop comparing your success to others
image source: reddit.com
It's very easy to do this in this day and age, when social media is telling you all about what people are accomplishing, or maybe friends and family are doing things you wish you could do. But your success shouldn't be defined by others' - so make sure to be happy with what you've accomplished!
47. Find joy in the little things
image source: reddit.com
It really is the little things in life that mean the most - and when it comes to every day peace and happiness, you need to find joy and meaning in the little things. Make your morning cup of coffee a happy ritual - smile at the sunny weather, or make your lunchtime walk a grateful task.
48. Let go of things out of your control
image source: reddit.com
There is absolutely no point wasting energy on things you cannot control. Worrying about things will not change them, or help you to find your inner peace. There are some things you need to accept can't be changed no matter what you do, and move on. Even if this is people around you.
49. Learn to forgive yourself
image source: reddit.com
Holding onto anger or resentment at something you did or someone you once were won't help for a calmer future! You need to learn to forgive yourself and move on. We all have bad memories of stupid things we've done, and you have to think about the situation at the time, or the age you were. Be kind to yourself.
50. Don't think about how it could have been
image source: reddit.com
We can take many different paths in life - and it's normal to wonder how our lives would have been different if we'd taken that job, left that other job, ended that relationship or dropped that friend. Whatever you do, don't think about 'what could have been' - just focus on where you are now, and make the best of it!
