1492 Words6 Pages

“101 Ways to Master Inner Peace” is the story of failure, rejection, anxiety attacks and broken heart. It is also the story of picking oneself up, not giving up, holding to single piece of hope, getting back on track with extra energy and seeking positivity in the darkest hours.”

Hello everyone, I am Unaiza Khalid. I am finally in a state of mind to share with you all the story of my failure and the time that left me devastated.

Let me start from the beginning and I promise I will not bore you. ;)

The Humble Beginning in Achieving Inner Peace

It was in the summer of 2000, when I got the report card of my first semester exams of fifth grade in the school I was admitted to a few months before (we moved to that city because of father’s job.) I started crying after having a look at …show more content…

You read right, I totally disconnected myself from all social media channels. Seeing everyone succeed was just not what I could tolerate at that point in life. I literally deactivated all the accounts until the time I was ready. I knew that if I have to master self-discipline and listen to my inner voice, I must not let any negativity surround me. Anything that could trigger falsehood was a big NO-NO.

I Concentrated on Single Thing: “Myself”

So, I wanted to lose weight for years but there was nothing always just so much to do. Now that I had no goal to pursue I concentrated solely on myself and lost 18 kilos.

It turned out that this was the best thing I could have done to stir positivity and give my self-development a boost.

How? Well, according to researchers exercising or any physical activity can instantly upgrade self-esteem. It is due to the hormones Endorphins that are increased in the body after physical activity. These hormones are responsible for diminishing the sensitivity to pain. Thus, exercising helps in warding off anxiety, improving better sleep and reducing stress, which is what I actually wanted.

    Thousands of women have screamed at the top of their lungs, clawed at the patriarchy, and tirelessly fought for their rights as citizens of the United States of America. From the beginning of mankind, women have been labeled as inferior to men not only physically, but mentally and intellectually as well. Only in 1920 did women gain the right to voice their opinions in government elections while wealthy white men received the expected right since the creation of the United States. A pioneer in women’s suffrage, Susan B. Anthony publicly spoke out against this hypocrisy in a time when women were only seen as child bearers and household keepers. Using the United State’s very own Constitution and Declaration as ammunition, Anthony wrote countless

The New York Times Upfront magazine says, “ When an athlete performs well as a result of this kind of disciplined training, he or she develops genuine self-confidence.” ( Mark Hyman and Nathan Pitcock). It really does too because the reason why most children are playing is for fun and it’s always the most fun when you're winning or doing good, it makes you feel good. Another example is if you do so good in a sport that you are looking to be recruited to college.

    9/10 ref) An individual must try in meditation practise to ‘subdue subtle distractions’ to try to achieve exclusive attention to achieve metacognitive awareness. Rather than ‘letting go’ of these thoughts that came to conscious awareness, I was instead making to-do lists, planning and ruminating about the past. I felt numerous times during the tasks quite difficult to fully ‘zone out,’ fully relax and ‘be in the moment.’ This led to further feelings of anxiousness as I became aware about my own thought-patterns both positive and negative – factors which essentially drive stressors.

    While it is necessary to retain accounts on various sites in order to stay connected, it is essentially a platform to judge one another. I tend to construct my various social media profiles as a reflection of my true self. I love the idea of being able to connect with others on various platforms and bridge the social gaps all over the world, but I am apprehensive about participating too much on social media for fear of judgment. My social media accounts reflect the true me based on my information and presentation but they do not define me as a person. My presence on social media is not strong and this may cause others to perceive me as unapproachable or antisocial.
