1. 7 Tips to Attain Peace of Mind

When you were child you had a pure mind; the mind
which was free from worries and anxieties. As the       ['wʌri],ʌ非常短,非[ɑ:]
time passed, you were influenced by several
social, personal, familial and official crises,       [fә'miljәl],not `familiar`
such as financial complications, broken                 a. 家族的, 家庭的
relationship, lack of trust, joblessness, failure
in business, loss of respect and so on. When the
mind is stressful, the associated germs of              [dʒә:m]n. 细菌, 种子
negativity, jealousy and pessimism add fuel to        ['pesimizm]n.悲观情绪
fire ,and hence your pure mind becomes impure.
These impurities,if taken out,can bring back the
mental purity,hence real spirit of joy of
childhood can be attained up to an adequate level.    [ә'tein]达到['ædikwәt]
Of course you cannot fix all of your problem at
once,but you can train your mind to develop the
skills,which can help either bypass or overcome
the depressed and tragic situations so as to give     ['trædʒik]
you a big time relaxation,while you focus on the        a. 悲惨的, 悲剧的
solution to your problems. Below are some
techniques which can be used to combat the peace      ['kɒmbæt] n. 争斗, 战斗
stealing triggers:

1. Mind your own business.

Yes, please mind your own business. When you start
being concerned about things which are not related
to you, you lose your grip on your thought process      [grip] n. 紧握, 控制
which often results in negativity disturbing the
mental peace.  Basically, your mind starts
wandering here and there. As you know that a
non-focused mind is evil's workshop hence the
germs of negativity and jealousy gain more
strength. So next time an unnecessary thought
comes to your mind, think whether this is really
something you should be worrying for? If not, shun      [ʃʌn]
it right away and focus on something positive,          vt. 避开, 规避, 避免
practical and fruitful.

2. Surround yourself in positive people.

Ignore negative comments and stay away from
negative souls. When someone is negative, he
spreads negativity and you get affected.
Permanently staying with such people will have
long term impact on your character so think about
your company.
about *company* a real life joke: once we were travelling with our Indian neighbors and we were sharing a car. I was asked : "ping, do you like your company?", and immediately I said "No !". Then I felt people are becoming quiet! All of a sudden I realized my neighbor means "themselves", not my work!

3. Don’t think about others too much.

Remember the great quote: small minds discuss
people; Average minds discuss events; Higher minds      [i'vent],not ['i:vent]
discuss ideas and Great minds act in silence.
Don't allow your brain to compare yourself to
others as this is an insult to yourself.  Don't be      ['insʌlt]n.侮辱,损害
Jealous; it's a heart killing disease, get rid of
it as soon as possible. When you are jealous you
focus on finding faults in others even if they
don't have. This poisons your soul and steals the
mental peace.

4. You can’t keep everyone happy.

Don't be over sensitive. Be natural and genuine in    ['dʒenjuin]
what you do. Be positive, constructive and ethical      a.真实的, 诚恳的
in your deeds and then don't really care too much     *['eθikәl]a.伦理的,
about others. Be aware, don't apply this formula        [di:d] 此处为“行为”
to too closed relations.  Develop trust to
establish powerful relationships.

5. Control your mood swings as it is an indication of unstable personality.

Do it by not being over sensitive to others. Stop
being reactive and implosive.  Stay calm.               [ɪm'plosɪv]内爆型

6. Ignore your thoughts about being unlucky.

Bad luck happens to everyone.  It's not your fault
at all. Time whether good or bad, passes quickly.
Develop the power of not looking back into your
past.  Believe in the power of Now. Believe in
your skills. Work hard and have faith in God; you
will get what you have been entitled for. Be
patient and see what God has planned for you.
Patience and consistency in your deeds is the key
to success.

7. Simplicity in your character and living style can overcome the stress and improve your happiness index.

Don't be socially sensitive and start following
every single trend your social circle is
following.

With these recommendations, I believe you can bring major changes in your life style hence attain back your mental peace. What are your recommendations in gaining mental peace?
