Women: 10 Sacred Tips for Inner Peace

Lorraine Hayden
1. Avoid Negativity: We have all come across toxic people in our lives at one time or another. Be it a family member, a co-worker or a lover. Negative people will suck the life out of you. All it takes is one negative comment to eat away at you and slowly bring down your self esteem.

2. Cast Away All Doubt: Doubt will dictate how you live your life. It eats away at your sense of self worth like cancer. It spreads through out your thought life telling you, you are not educated enough, you are not pretty enough, and you will not be able to fulfill your dreams.

3. Dispose of Bitterness: When you have bitterness in your heart, there is no room for love to flourish. Life becomes unbearable for you and those around you.

4. Stop Being Petty: Worrying about little things you have no control over cause's mental and physical stress.

5. Quit Being Cynical: You question everything and everybody. You always expect the worse. Open your eyes and see all the beautiful colors in the world, everything is not grey.

6. No Need to feel Unworthy: No person walking this earth is perfect. We all have a past and have made mistakes. Do not continue to hold on to your past. True enough people may remember you 'when", but it is up to you to proudly let them know that was a long time ago. You are a different person now and your past is just that- the past.

7. Say Good Bye to Desperation: Many women wear desperation on their face like a model wears make-up. Desperation leads to unhealthy life choices. When we are desperate, clear thinking goes out the window. More than likely you will find yourself in a position that you will regret.

8. Stop Being Vengeful: Cut out the drama! Life is not an episode of Dynasty and you are not Alexis Carrington. We spend so much time harping on people we believed to have wronged us. Most of the time, the person you are angry with does not realize what he or she has done. They are happily going on with their lives while you sit around fuming over something that happened 10, 20 or 30 years ago.

9. Have a Sense of Direction: Be confident in who you are and where you want to go in life.

10. Be Charitable: Do something nice for someone else. Charity does not only mean giving money. You can volunteer at your local hospital, nursing home or school. Check on an elderly neighbor from time to time. Suggest an evening of peace and quite for a single mother, offer to baby sit her child. There is indeed a sense of inner peace and great reward when you do something kind for someone else.
