Peace

Okay, so I have been doing some thinking today while I've been cleaning. What has everyone learned about when Kev starts thinking? It's dangerous. So, peace? Life? What does the title mean? Well, Im going to talk about how to maintain a state of peace in life, it is wonderful and does not mean you can not go to work, school, etc.

To have a life of peace you can still go to work and school or whatever else it may be you do. Make sure to get plenty of sleep. I do not mean if you can be fine on 5 hours of sleep to do that, NO! I mean to try to get enough sleep that you feel recharged when you get up. For me this is anywhere from 7-9 hours.

Be sure to eat something for breakfast, preferably light if you eat within an hour of waking. A bowl of cerial would even suffice. Do not immediately get up and smoke a cigarette, wait until after breakfast to do this!

Take ten minutes out of your day sometime, even if it is ten minutes earlier than going to bed, and find a comfortable spot and position. When comfortable you should read a book, listen to music that you find relaxes you (experiment with this, need ideas? ask me!) and do this for ten minutes. Doing this twice daily is a good habit to get into, once in the morning before you start your day and once before bed. Doing so in the morning will relax you mind for the day ahead and doing so before bed will relax your mind from the day and allow you to sleep more calmly and peacefully.

Don't believe this works? At least try it to find out if it helps you. I find that it helps me greatly, I have actually taken to reading for an hour or so before I go to bed three nights per week. Not only do I read like this but I take time during the day (such as when I get up and have breakfast) to sit and listen to relaxing music. If you smoke then have a cigarette while relaxing, take slow relaxed breathes while smoking though. If you smoke a pipe then take a pinch of tobacco and smoke while you relax (seriously, tobacco, avoid the other 'smoke' while doing this)

Do not drink alchoholic beverages while doing this, it does not help but only seems to inhibit. I hope you have enjoyed reading this, and certainly hope you will give it a try. Feedback is always a plus!
