Peaceful Mind Is a big Blessing—But Not Everyone Has It
- By Dr. AK Rana
You know what? A peaceful mind is a blessing—not everybody has it.
Many of you will understand this quote the moment you glance at it.
A person’s physical appearance might sometimes reveal their mental state, but that’s not always the case.
…
A well-dressed, calm-looking individual might actually be losing an internal war of thoughts.
There’s always a reason behind disturbed peace—sometimes we know it, sometimes we ignore it, and other times we can’t even pinpoint the exact cause.
And sometimes, you do know the problem… but you just can’t do anything about it.
Maybe it’s something that already happened, and all that’s left now is regret.
Maybe it’s something that needs a decision, but you don’t know how—or where—to start.
Too much stress hijacks mental peace. Life becomes a time-bound algorithm, ticking away.
The constant race against time piles up pressure in our heads.
And before we know it, that pressure turns into a ticking bomb.
There can be no peace in a mind like that.
Some people are naturally more prone to overthinking.
They know it.
They think. Then rethink.
And they can’t let things go until it feels completely resolved.
But some things never get completely resolved—they just settle over time.
And that “waiting period” becomes the most suffocating time of all.
…
People will say—
“Just stop thinking.”
“Chill out, don’t worry.”
But that’s easier said than done.
Only someone with a thousand voices shouting inside their head knows what that feels like.
No one else can understand that storm.
The truth is—
…
When there’s no peace in your mind, no place on earth can give you peace.
You can travel the world, but your mind travels with you.
And if your mind is truly at peace, even a noisy office feels like a quiet sanctuary where you’re humming your favorite tune.
So, can anything be done?
Yes.
And unlike many others, I won’t tell you to “just stop worrying” because I know that’s not possible.
But you can reduce the misery and start working towards peace—step by step.
…
1. Give It a Break.
You know you can’t stop thinking about it, so write it down.
Literally—pen it. Then consciously pause the thinking for 2–3 hours. It’s not going to change in that time anyway.
During your break, do something neutral:
Watch a movie, go for a walk, clean up pending chores—anything. Give your brain space to breathe.
…
After the break, revisit your thoughts. Maybe you’ll find a solution.
If not, take another break.
Repeat the process.
…
2. Make the Break Longer.
Now that you’ve written down the worry, ask yourself:
“Is this something that’s going to get solved in the next few days?”
If not, extend the break. Think about it every 2–3 days instead.
Or even weekly. Or monthly.
Often, in these “breaks,” solutions arrive unexpectedly. And sometimes, you do what you can—and then all that’s left is waiting.
…
The waiting period—whether it’s for an exam result, a response, a life decision—is mentally draining.
But again, this is when you start the break cycle not to find a solution, but with the mindset:
“I did what I could. Now, whatever comes, I’ll face it.”
Is this a cure?
No.
But it does reduce suffering.
It teaches your mind to breathe.
Some worries will always stay. But when they’re tied to the future, your “check-in cycle” for them can be once a month. That’s it. The rest of the time?
Your mind is free.
…
Take Care of Yourself—Inside and Out.
A positive mind needs a positive body.
Mental peace and physical health go hand in hand.
- Start doing yoga, meditation, light workouts.
- Take balanced, healthy meals.
- Drink more water.
- Fix your sleep cycle.
- Make your lifestyle more peaceful.
Love yourself a little more—you deserve it.
