2. Be grateful
Be grateful for the good things in life. Most of us get so worked up in complaining about the things that are not so good that they either forget all about the good things or they just overlook them in their pursuit of finding more things to complain about. This happens to such an extent that often complaining becomes a habit and no matter how hard you try, you can never focus on your blessings. So, count our blessings everyday and such thankfulness will free you of negative thoughts.
3. Listen to your inner self
We all seek satisfaction and happiness from the outer world. But what we do not understand is that happiness is from within, not from without. Happiness and peace are all there inside us and therefore that is where we should look for them. When you plunge into your inner self and find happiness, then that is where you find it for real, and actually helps make you calm down.
4. Avoid negative thoughts
The mind gets clogged with innumerable thoughts throughout the day. In a single minute, we think at least a hundred thoughts regarding scores of subjects and topics that concern us, the people around us, our lives and even the world at large. But are all our thoughts positive, happy and hopeful ones? Negative thoughts are the ones which bring us down, de-motivate us, make us feel sad and upset and do no good in general, which in turn takes a toll on our mind by causing unrest. So in order to have a calm mind, avoid thinking negatively as much as you can.
