I wanted to share some inspiration and practical life lessons on how more black women can experience peace of mind, despite life’s adversity, daily problems, and stress. Do you know that you deserve a life of happiness, joy and fulfillment?
Don’t get stuck in a miserable existence. Life too short and full of possibilities, to live in a prison of negativity.
You can shine and own that “(First Lady Michelle Obama) black woman kind of happiness.” It really all depends on you.
What is peace of mind? It is a state of concentration, harmony and spiritual, mental and emotional security. I believe that peace of mind is the missing link that black women need for optimal well-being and success.
What happens when you are overwhelmed by stress and have no peace of mind?
You may be overwhelmed with fear, anger, doubt, guilt, resentment, and worry – just think of the magnitude of the problems it brings. How often do you experience these emotions? What is the impact on your life, relationships, and personal fulfillment?
Why do so many people struggle with stress, drama, poor decisions, and a life of mediocrity?
I believe that many factors contribute to the struggle; however, the main reason is not to do a decision change.
What is the best way to achieve peace of mind?
Are you ready? You can achieve true peace of mind when you decide and commit to eliminating those negative people, situations, and emotions that rob you of joy..
It really is that simple. Cutting those ties may be more difficult for some of us, but when you decide to make a change for your own well-being, the rewards are certainly worth it.
How you can start to own your peace of mind:
