Happy that they are stress relievers for you. If I can do nothing I will wait for the storm to blow over by itself and then pick up the pieces - siva

To be honest , i don't aspire to be rich . It is enough that we are comfortable in our way of living , have just enough money and my family intact and not forgetting to praise God . The thought of that , gives me a piece of mind always .

I worked in the finance field all the time and I know wealth can be a burden too. Real wealth is how we are placed as a family. And counting the blessings more than the money gives us fulfillment - siva

I find it by walking in nature Siva. Once I get going at a good pace, somehow my mind clears for me with no effort.

I trust The One Who gives me a peace that surpasses all understanding. Others may disagree or object but it has worked for me all these years and I have no reason to stop trusting Him.

@Shiva49 Well, times of stress do bother us. This question has no serious answers. Sometimes I try to find solace in things like reading a novel- even if its late in night. Recently I read Robert Ludlum's "The Sigma Protocol". It was a long novel but I enjoyed it and it helped on some stressful and hectic days. Then, I love watching Travel shows- shows that show many places and even exotic foods etc. Another stress buster is Mylot, or sometimes chatting about cricket with someone.

@Shiva49 This is perhaps I need to learn - at times I ponder too much over certain things and have difficulty in letting my mind go away from them. But in some of the things, I have learned not to panic.

I do read though not long novels. Then go for a walk and we have good avenues here to unwind. Mostly it is a state of mind for me. I think about an issue and do what is needed. But I don't worry over it if I cannot do much. I never had job security and took it month by month, but I was confident when one door closes I will have choices to pick from few. Though I do not have many friends I have few well wishers and a belief that I will not be let down or I will be able to adjust wherever I find myself in - siva

I get stressed at times due to delay in solving an issue. That plays in my mind. I want to put it behind and look ahead. I admire those who are able to stay calm through a crisis. When we are patient, half the battle is won - siva

Can true peace of mind be ever totally obtained from just such a scene of outer peace, or not? What about inner peace?

What is peace of mind? Why would we ever want it, and yet Jesus said that he gave us his peace, or that he left it with us? Is that a greater peace than just peace of mind? Real peace is a state perhaps not of the mind, which is always restless, going onto the next thought, processing thoughts continually, because the mind does not usually exist in the now. Mostly our mind exists within/or as a part of the thought process, which is never in the now either. Thought is either of the past or the future, only knowing is in the now, and this inner knowing of all things, including truth, resides in the heart, and so this is the true peace that Jesus offered to us, for us to live from our hearts, and from this truth, and then this truth will set us free of our mind's constant meanderings. We will then be at real peace with our self, God, love, and all else besides. The kingdom of heaven will be ours, even while we are still living on the Earth.

@Shiva49 You have a wonderful way of deciphering simply what I meant, putting it practically, explaining it as a real way of living. My head is mostly in the clouds. Yours is too, but your feet walk firmly on the ground, still very close to your heart. Each part of us has to be at peace too for us to feel really peaceful while we live here I think.

@innertalks Thanks Steve for your encouragement, appreciated. Yes, I try to stay rooted, plant my feet on solid ground, but sometimes it proves a quicksand! I do not want to cheat myself by shortchanging others. We are on recall anytime - leave with nothing the same we way we made our appearance here. So be ever ready with a clear conscience when the time comes - siva .

That is what I believe - it is up to us to live in heaven or hell or move in between as we tend to do. That is better, in a way, than get stuck in one place! Striving for better life is natural and should not impact peace of mind. Living in the present is a great way to stay calm and live a fuller life; past is over and future uncertain, so the present is the only present! I too live from my heart as a habit and try to make our place that bit better as per my ability and that is the legacy and epitaph I would like to leave behind - siva
