The International Day of Happiness

Every year, 20 March is dedicated to happiness. Since 2013, the United Nations has celebrated the International Day of Happiness on this day as a way to recognise the importance of happiness in the lives of people around the world.

But can we stay happy amid the chaos?

Of course, we can. For living peacefully and happily amid chaos (both inner and outer) you need to adapt to change and that requires mental preparedness. For that, you need a tranquil mind. But, how? Here’s what you can do to live peacefully despite the chaos around you.

Believe in the Power of Affirmation

In real life, things may not happen as you want them to happen all the time. A wishful thought is often not enough to override a challenging situation. You must face the situation. Even though you cannot outdo it, but you can use the power of affirmation to gain the wisdom and ideas to deal with the situation.

Try to stop thinking persistently about a problem and adopt a different thought-process by introspecting deeper in your mind throughout the day. In a few days you will find that your fresh viewpoint has become an inner truth and turned into a strong belief system.

So, you may repeat to yourself, ‘I will face this problem bravely,’ or, ‘I am mightier than this chaos,’ or the empowering thought, ‘This too shall pass.’

Repeat these mantras, or any of your own choice, throughout the day like an affirmation. It will instantly pull you back into a controlled state of mind where you will find calm.

Stick to Your Purpose in Life

What is your Dharma, or purpose in life, your unique mission in life? Your purpose is scripted beautifully on your soul. Search for it and in moments of chaos, adhere to this purpose.

Stick to the ultimate truth of your life, your purpose. No matter what is going on in your surroundings or in your life, your focus should be on your life’s purpose until it becomes an inseparable part of your personality.

So, in disturbing moments of confusion and panic, do not impel your brain for instant relief, rather learn to focus on your purpose.

Understand that the outer world reflects your inner world. Control the inner world, the chaos in your outer world will wane automatically.

Have Faith in God

To rise above any chaotic situation and bring peace in life, you must develop faith in God or The Supreme Universal Power. With that, you will have the conviction that everything will be alright, even if you are unable to see exactly how and when.

As you connect with the universal energy, you empower your inner core, gain courage and wisdom to overcome any challenges. Nothing can disturb such a focused and empowered mind.

Find Your Secret Den of Tranquility

No matter what disturbing circumstances you are dealing with, always have a secret den of serenity that can give you instant restoration. It will help you find a peaceful state of mind whenever the need arises. It could be a hobby, music, meditation, nature walk, a spiritual text or just talking to a close friend. You can deal with chaos with such a light-hearted approach as well and attain a tranquil mind.

So, try these steps to find inner peace amid chaos. Never let your troubles take control of your naturally tranquil mind. Just take charge of the circumstances, act and believe that everything will be alright by the Grace of God.
