Five vital solutions to find peace with yourself, and with all that is, may be possible. Answers on how to get out of the depths of grief and loss are essential for more happiness and joy. Adopting five must-have principles to begin healing from pain is key to making your life whole again.

PRINCIPLE NUMBER 1

Seek to free your mind from external circumstances. Allowing your mind to continue thinking about what happened and why it happened is neither helpful nor beneficial. What caused your grief and loss are external circumstances that you can and should avoid.

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must not be affected by external circumstances.” ~ Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

Finding peace from within should be the first priority in your efforts to begin to heal from pain and loss!

PRINCIPLE NUMBER 2

Focusing on your attitude and the way you view difficult events is vital to your happiness. There are times in life when difficult things happen. Often times, they may not be fair. The difficult reality is that difficult things happen. However, Principle 2 strongly suggests that you focus on your attitude and how you view difficult events in your life as essential. Be determined to embrace positive thoughts about the hand that has been dealt to you; take positive action to play your hand.

“You may not seem able to change some external circumstance, but you can start by changing your internal experience of life and of yourself.” ~ Joy page

Will you begin to embrace an optimistic and sincere effort to change your inner experience of life and yourself? Want? You can know it! Healing from grief and loss is best accomplished with a positive attitude, even when the trials are difficult.

PRINCIPLE NUMBER 3

As grief occurs, the key to healing the grief and loss is to make it up to yourself.

“We can never get peace in the outside world until we make peace with ourselves.” ~ Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

Getting peace with yourself is necessary to achieve fulfillment in your life. As unwanted pain has entered your life, counting blessings will help you find more happiness and inner peace. Count your blessings one by one. Write them down. You will be amazed at how large your list of blessings will be. This will help you find peace with yourself.

PRINCIPLE NUMBER 4

Learn to focus on the now in your life.

“There is only one important moment: NOW! It is the most important moment because it is the only moment in which we have power.”

~ Leo Tolstoy

You cannot change the past. Nor can you know what might happen in the future. Your power is in the now. Now is the most important moment of your life. Embrace the power within you to begin healing now.

PRINCIPLE NUMBER 5

Never place deviations from progress in your attempt to stop suffering and begin to heal.

“There are no restrictions on the human mind, there are no walls around the human spirit, there are no barriers to our progress, except those that we erect ourselves.”

~ Ronald Reagan

Recognize progress in the spirals of the human mind. Accept the gracious invitation to be personally responsible for acting according to what you can. Don’t put barriers to your progress toward greater happiness. If you really want to get over your pain, you can. If you like! You are the source to look into your soul to find the best possible perspective to complete your life. You can find peace from pain and loss.
