5 Unhealthy Habits I Let Go Of This Year To Regain Inner Peace

Letting go of unhealthy habits can be transformative in regaining inner peace. As I have begun my reflection practices on the year gone by, I made a note of all the unhealthy habits I let go of this year for my own inner peace.

You know that moment when you’re stuck in the supermarket line and the contents of your bag spill on the floor just as your phone starts ringing? Thats when I knew I needed to find inner peace within, right as I was suppressing the urge to unleash a stream of four-letter words(!)

Old people pleasing me was a pro at superficial conversations. But, I noticed this time that all the conversations I had were NOT superficial. Almost automatically everyone I met opened up about their most deepest thoughts and those are the best conversations according to me.

Upon deep reflection, I realised that my own energy was different, better, more self loving, more self respecting.{The healing work we do can have that effect.} The beauty of this inner work is, that your outside world responds to your inner energy as well. And that is why I felt at ease and had the best time even in between strangers.
