We all strive to make our lives comfortable and to feel at peace, and despite the difficulty of this amidst life's struggles and problems, it is not impossible. Living with peace of mind is something you can achieve, but you will need to prepare your heart to reach that feeling.
And here's the question... How do you make your heart capable of feeling comfort and tranquility?
1) Stay away from distractions
How can your heart be at peace when you are constantly distracted by everything around you? Unfortunately, in the current time and due to the openness of our lives to each other, it has become difficult to focus only on yourself... So, to achieve greater balance, you need to be very conscious while using social media. Don't open it all the time; you end up following people's lives while you're not focused on your own, and this puts a burden of comparisons and dissatisfaction that you could have avoided if you just used it consciously and chose whom you follow and what you benefit from.
Because anything you let into your heart affects you... So ask yourself, what am I letting into my heart? What will I benefit from it? How will it affect my psyche?
2) Speak with consideration
God gave us the ability to speak so we can use it for good and righteousness. The more carefully you speak, the more at ease your heart will be. Don't talk about anyone, don't mock anyone, and try not to delve into unnecessary topics... Let your words be carefully chosen to protect your heart from bad speech, which certainly will not bring you any tranquility.
3) Choose your people
The people you spend time with have the biggest impact on you... Look at your closest circles and make sure no one is negatively affecting you. If you find someone, take a step back in your relationship with that person and get closer to those who bring out the best version of you, who guide you to what is right, and who remind you of sound principles... Because a companion is a puller... Where will your companion pull you?
4) Your relationship with God
All the above is important, but something will remain missing if you don't care about your relationship with God... Because our souls need this connection just as our bodies need food and drink to live... Our relationship with God is what brings balance to our lives and makes us see the true reality of this world... So we live in it with a comfortable mind and a heart at peace with God.
