Exercise Your attitude of gratitude
Practice gratitude for everything in your life. Even the things you don't like are here for your learning and growth. Gratitude leads to inner peace.
From: The Power Of Gratitude by rima_valunaite
This prayer of gratitude was found on a scrap of paper in a rancid dormitory at the liberation of Ravensbruck Concentration Camp in Germany at the end of World War II.
"Lord, remember not only the men of good will, but also those of ill will. But do not remember all the suffering they have inflicted upon us. Remember rather the fruits we have brought, thanks to this suffering: our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, the courage, the generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown out of this. And when they come to judgment, let all the fruits we have bourne be their forgiveness."
The Power of Gratitude is an extremely important aspect of attracting to you the abundance and happiness that you desire and deserve in your life.

Exercise Positive Thinking and Hope
Never let hope die!

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 s true the future is unknown but why believe worse. Practice seeing the good.
3. Focus on the "good" in you:

*** Love yourself. Self-compassion and self-nurturing creating 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)
