TRANQUILITY

 

When you think of the word 'tranquility', do you think about peaceful surroundings, a shaded woody area, a waterfall or a garden with butterflies? Often times, people think that in order to have tranquility in their lives, they need to have a peaceful environment. It is not always possible to have a serene and undisturbed setting.

Even though we cannot seem to produce the quiet atmosphere, we can produce tranquility from within. You do not need to go to a physical place to find it.

Why is Tranquility Important?

Not having tranquility effects all facets of your personal and professional life. Tranquility, or an inner peace, is what keeps your life stable in these unstable times. Without tranquility, you are more prone to sudden outbursts and more anxiety and fear. Just think of all of the missed opportunities you face without that calming inner peace.

How do we achieve this tranquility?

There are a few things that you can do to achieve it:-

1.  Meditation - Meditation allows you to drain your mind, which allows you to rest your mind without any other thoughts. This is a wonderful way for adults and even children to achieve tranquility and that inner peace. And what is really beneficial is that you can meditate any time you want. All you need is a quiet space. If you have a lot of anxiety or stress in your life, meditate more often.

2.  Martial Arts - Participating in a martial arts programme will give you focus and peace. There are many different martial arts programmes, such as Tai Chi and Kung Fu, which is Chinese; Tae Kwon Do, which is Korean and Karate, which is Japanese. All of these programmes put emphasis on focus and self-control. You can try a few or all of them to find one that works for you.

3.  Stretching - If the martial arts programmes are not for you, stretching may be. Stretching helps to relax the body and in turn, calms the spirit. There are also programmes that you can participate in such as Yoga or Pilates. These programmes will give you exercises that will tone your muscles in addition to improving your health. These programmes also teach you how to relax your muscles and by doing so, will give you the tranquility you seek.

4.  Use Key Phrases - Here is one that you probably never thought of, recognizing what makes you feel at peace. Maybe there is a key phrase or a saying that just sums it all up for you. Gives you hope and peace. If this works for you, write down your key phrases and carry them with you. You can also write your key phrases on your bathroom mirror or you can put the phrases to pictures and put them on your refrigerator or wherever you would see them often.

The key point here is if you are looking for that tranquility in your life and you do not know where to find it, just pick one of the items above and try it. Find what works for you. 

Tranquility is a very important factor in our lives and we need to embrace it. In order to embrace it, we need to find it and hold on to it. Tranquility may be easier for you to find than you think.
