Find Inner Peace “Cultivate Your Inner Oasis” By Janet Nestor

Friday 05 August, 2016.

Inner peace is what you seek.

Cultivate inner happiness and a strong core self with these simple thought exercises.

Reduce stress and anxiety with inner joy.

We are always looking for articles on stress that motivate and inspire us to take charge and live our lives the way that makes us most happy…

And this advice does just that!

The author explains how she compiled this list of “thoughts” which encourage inner happiness, inner peace and even reduce stress and anxiety…

“Inner Oasis is a term I coined ten or more years ago to help my clients and class participants create a lush, rich imagery of their core self. Our Inner Oasis is our soul-self, our inner wisdom, our inner peace and our innermost source of pure, unconditional love. It is ever replenishing, ever nurturing, ever there to support our journey and guide our life.

This article was originally written as part of a class I taught to help individuals cope with and recover from their stress and anxiety and develop inner peace.

The list, 20 Thoughts That Create Personal Power, contains Universal Truths that become powerful tools for personal growth, happiness, and wholeness.

Our thoughts, conscious and unconscious, and those originating from our Higher Self, fuel the direction and quality of our daily life and inner happiness. Thoughts really do determine who we are today and the contentment with our life tomorrow. They help create our personality characteristic, values and morals, contribute to the restfulness of our sleep, and help determine the amount of energy we have to earn a living, educate ourselves, take care of ourselves and our family, and enjoy our leisure time.

Our thoughts truly are the building blocks of our life!

While the list below may not be the total answer, it might be the beginning of positive change for many people.

• Read through the list and try adding the ideas to your daily contemplation and meditation.
• Share the list with friends and family.
• Pin it on your mirror or on your closet door and read it every time you see it.
• Write one or two thoughts on a piece of paper and stick them in your pocket to read several times each day.

Let the wisdom sink in and become part of you. Inner peace can be yours!
