Give your Love Joy Peace a workout! Inner Peace and Inner Happiness Are Like Muscles

Inner peace and happiness are like muscles that all of us have.  It is part of being human; we are all created with these muscles, and it is our born right to pursue them diligently!  Like muscles they must be exercised.  This lens introduces the five exercises that develop and help us maintain inner happiness.

May the Fruit of inner happiness be yours!

A Biblical description of love joy peace:  (The Fruit of real inner happiness)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Gal 5:22-23)

The Bible says the "fruit" of the Spirit is Love. As I read this, it is fruit (not fruits). All of the "fruits" listed after love are actually one fruit of love!

They describe love. .

 #  [5] Kindness is Love's Conduct! - Gal. 5:22; II Cor. 6:1-13; II Pet. 1:3-10

Exercise Positive Thinking and Hope

finding happiness

positive

POSITIVE THINKING PRODUCES INNER PEACE!

1.Focus on the positive. Expect the best, do your best, and you will receive what is best for you. Accepting this, you find inner peace.
2. Focus on your hope. It is true the future is unknown but why believe worst. Practice seeing the good.
3. Focus on the "good" in you:

*** Promote peace in yourself. Choose to stay calm in the face of challenges.
*** Love yourself. Self-compassion and self-nurturing creates a foundation of inner safety in which it's easier to stay calm and peaceful.
*** Forgive yourself for anything you've judged in yourself. Release and enjoy this again.
*** Let go of grudges and resentments against others. Forgive and forget for greater inner peace.
*** Practice honesty with yourself and others. When you are true to yourself, this is present.
*** Remember, you are much more than the body and personality that you normally identify with. Your core, your divine essence, is peace.

Php 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. (New International Version)

Famous Quotes on Finding Happiness

Being happy is something you have to learn. I often surprise myself by saying "Wow, this is it. I guess I'm happy. I got a home I love. A career that I love. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself." If there's something else to happiness, let me know. I'm ambitious for that, too.

- Mark Twain

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord (Ps.144:15).
