We all want to feel inner peace, yet most of us think and behave in ways that create stress instead of peace.
Take a moment right now and think about what creates a lack of inner peace:
- You might feel anxious when you become attached to the outcome of things.
- You likely feel anxious when you attach your worth to some kind of success or failure.
- You might feel stressed when you think about the past and criticize yourself for the choices you made.
- You will generally feel tense when you worry and obsess about others’ actions and how they feel about you.
- You will feel anxious the moment you criticize yourself or tell yourself lies about yourself or others – lies that are programmed into the wounded self.
