Inner Peace for Entrepreneurs
Finding Inner Peace in a Chaotic World
You may be wondering how inner peace for entrepreneurs is any different from any other segment of the population. From my perspective and based on my almost twenty years as an entrepreneur, I believe we are unique in many ways. I did not start out as an entrepreneur; I worked at several jobs before returning to school to earn a teaching credential at the age of 30. I also worked in real estate as a broker and residential appraiser, where I was considered to be an independent contractor.
As reported by the Positive Psychology website and other respected sources in the fields of psychology and neuroscience, inner peace can be defined as the following:
“A state of calm, serenity and tranquility of mind that arises due to having no sufferings or mental disturbances such as worry, anxiety, greed, desire, hatred, ill will, delusion and or other defilements.”
That might sound unachievable in today’s hectic, stressful, and chaotic world. The key to creating this positive mental and emotional state is to look inside, not out. Here are five practices proven to move you from distractions, chaos, anxiety, and stress towards a calmer, more peaceful state of being.
