5 simple ways to find your inner peace and happiness are:

Accept the things that happened but don’t try so hard to move on

We often confuse accepting and moving on to be the same things but they are not. Accepting that whatever happened, happened is a way to start accepting yourself. But that doesn’t mean you have to move on from whatever happened immediately. Don’t force yourself and try to get back to normal slowly. And remember, don’t let anyone else get to you when they say “Just move on”. You know your struggle and if you come here you are trying. So take it slow. Accepting is the first step in your healing journey.

Determine what you need and give rely on the other options

Keeping your mind open to more options and choices may be good sometimes but it’s not when you are trying to be happy. You need to clear your mind and determine what exactly it is that you need. Do not rely on the other options too much and just do what you need. Even if it’s a small thing like what you want to eat or what you want to wear or even watching your favourite show or movie. It’s okay to be selfish in your healing journey. You have to care for yourself first before you can care for others.

Reflect but don’t live in your past

The past is called the past for a reason and we all know it. It happened and it is done. You can think about, maybe reflect and dwell on it for some time but don’t let yourself live in it. Humans lose too many good things because they are always living in the past. There is nothing wrong with taking your time to heal and get over the things that happened to you in the past. But you should know the limit and not let it control you now. Remember what you learned and don’t live in it. Start by slowly distracting yourself from the rumination and focus on yourself. Focus on your self-care, your career and your hobbies.

Stop blaming yourself and let the guilt and shame go

We are all responsible for some bad things but that doesn’t make us bad people. We are humans and we make mistakes. You can take responsibility for the mistakes but don’t let them take over you. Shame and guilt are strong emotions that we can’t escape from easily. If you are surrounded by people who do not understand how you feel, it is probably time to take a break from them. Because during hard times we need nothing but a little support from people we trust and love. Forgive yourself for your past and start from a clean slate. Even if you are not in the state of mind to forgive others, it is extremely important to forgive yourself and to give yourself a second chance that you deserve.

Embrace yourself and start growing

Most people do this thing called embracing the pain or turning the pain into creativity for success and growth. It may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you are not happy, but you must have thought about it at least once. And yeah, it is healthy. By working on your dreams, you are letting yourself grow to new possibilities which will lead to happiness. Always find enriching and healthy ways to cope, and avoid indulging in unhealthy ways to soothe yourself and go down a rabbit hole. Seek professional help to come out of unhealthy coping mechanisms. Channel your energy and time into your dreams and goals.
