How to become peaceful
Being peaceful is the biggest satisfaction; one can have in their life. Today, in this blog we are going to discuss that how can you find inner peace? Let’s try to understand the traits of a peaceful man deeply.
According to societal norms, a peaceful man focuses his attention on those things which he can control.
He may spend time in nature as originally we belong to nature.
He/She is always true to himself/herself as when one knows one’s weaknesses and strengths, it gives immense peace.
He not only tries to do good deeds but also avoid irrelevant fights and quarrels with people.
There are many more such qualities that are standardized by society on the basis of which a man is called peaceful. But as per psychology these norms which are set by society are somewhere shallow and tend to even hurt an individual’s peaceful way of living.
When you try to copy these attributes, its impact is negative as it gives you more stress on becoming something which you are not. As per Psychology, a man can attain peace when he accepts himself fully.

Stop Overthinking
Although there are various reasons by which a person loses his or her peace but one of the major reasons is overthinking. In simple words overthinking is to think too much about (something): to put too much time into thinking about or analyzing (something).
When you start thinking about something very deeply it somewhere generates stress. Stress starts a vicious circle where overthinking gives birth to stress and stress again gives birth to overthinking. In this vicious circle, you will never get peace. We can understand this with a very simple example, let’s suppose you lost your phone on the road while coming home from the office and due to which you start thinking how to get your phone back and what are the problems you may face.
A normal person will simply go to the police station for FIR. But in the case of overthinkers, it is not as simple as the above. As they start thinking about the person who will get their phone. This will generate stress about what that person can do with their phone. This stress generates a new topic about overthinking and this vicious circle goes on to give a lot of stress and anxiety. So if you stop overthinking you can avoid a lot of stress and anxiety.
