Kungfu Panda is one of my favorite movie of all times. Jack Black as Po the panda is just awesome and adorable. If you have seen the movie, I'm pretty sure you have heard of Master Shi Fu mentioning "inner peace...". Through out the movie, he always remind Po to find inner peace. Then it got to me thinking.. how do I find inner peace? More so, what is inner peace?
Wikipedia states:
Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a state of being mentally and spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of discord or stress. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious. Peace of mind is generally associated with bliss, happiness and contentment.
So in other words, being positive not negative, be happy, all smiles. Let me just say, what? The world is filled with so much negativity these days, it's so hard to find inner peace. It's not impossible, but just HARD. One of the positive point from the movie Kungfu Panda is, it is promoting inner peace, it is persuading us and telling us that we are able to find inner peace if we really want to find inner peace.
First of all, the ways on finding inner peace for every single one of us is different. How I find my inner peace could be the most stupidest/craziest/lamest thing for you. But each one of us is different, that's what makes us beautiful .. kidding, gosh One Direction getting to my head. Each one of us is different and that is what makes us unique and special.
Finding inner peace for me ..
1. Going to the park: I like going to the park. When I have a bad day, I go to the park and just relax, enjoy the nature that surrounds me. Looking at the clouds and the trees really soothe my mind. It really detoxifies the negativity in my mind. I like to also listen to music whilst sitting at the park. It's just pure bliss.
2. Watch movies: I love watching movies at the comfort of my own home. Love the feeling of laying on my pillows and watch movies. Ahh... so relaxing. However, watch movies that will make you smile. I like horror movies. I'm weird I know ... Watching movies invites your mind to somehow be a part of the movie. Like when I watch the infamous Japanese horror movie, The Ring, I felt like the ghost would come out from the TV screen any time soon. Oh, so scary yet so cool!
3. Gym: This place has now become my 2nd home. You want to go to a gym that makes you feel comfortable. Trust me, unfriendly gym staffs really affects how you work out. You want to work out to the best of your ability, and you want to finish with the feeling of satisfaction. Also, working out at the gym is really loving yourself, taking care of self for wanting to live a healthier life style.
4. Travel: I travel a lot, Sydney - Singapore - Jakarta - Singapore - Sydney. I miss Jakarta so much. I'm going there next year. So excited! I love travelling because it really freshens up my mind. However, if you have life issues, travelling does not mean you can forget the issue. That really is you running away from problems. Travelling really is for you to take time out, to analyse the problems so you can come back with a healthier inner mind to deal with the problems. And yes, shopping helps :)
5. Music: Some of you might not know but my first degree was in Music. Music plays an integral role in my life ever since I was a young spoiled girl (still am to an extent). I like to sing a lot. It doesn't matter if it's in the shower, at church, out with friends.. I just sing out random songs. I also am surrounded with family members that loves music. When I'm having bad days, I listen to songs that will put my smiles back on to my face. My current favorite song is an Indonesian song called Separuh Aku or Half of me by the member Noah. I am obsessed with this song.. truly am.
These are some of the ways I find inner peace. I would love to know how you find your inner peace. Remember, finding inner peace is vital for your daily life. The less worries and stress you have in your life, the less wrinkles and gloomy your face will be. By finding inner peace, we are able to act accordingly and not having to do stupid, regrettable things.
God bless :)
