Peace of Mind

The last few weeks have been trying time for a large majority of us. From police killings, no convictions in the #FreddieGary trials, Black Lives Matter protest, Donald Trump and the RNC, Hillary Clinton and the DNC, to an infinite list that can go on and one...the negative energy in the universe is starting to take a toll on our inner peace. I truly believe in the powers of positive energy, because of this I've decided to give you ladies 5 tips on finding a Peace of Mind:

1. Realize You Have Nothing to Prove

Many of us live as if we have something to prove to someone or to a situation that happened in the past. Often times this hinders us from reaching our full potential, because we still aren't living for ourselves. Always do things that truly makes YOUR SOUL happy.

2. Refocus Your Energy

Stop giving your energy to negative situations, thoughts, and feelings. In life, sh*t happens and that's okay. We grow from the life's lessons...so find the beautiful in the struggle. (yes, I stole that from J. Cole)

3. Meditate

Taking the time to slow down and quiet your mind creates a healthy internal environment. Here are some tips on Meditation for Beginners from Jeanne of Finesse Curves.

4. Live in the Present Moment

Let go of the past & stop overthinking the future. The past is gone and the future will never turn out the way you're over analyzing it all you're really doing is plaguing your mind with negative energy. Take the time to feel and appreciate the world around you.

5. Self Love

The more we love our personal beings, the easier it is to find and maintain inner peace. Self love and care are the basics of finding inner peace. Peace starts with YOU!

I don't think these tips will solve all of the worlds problems, but in the words of the late, great Tupac "I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world."
