Inner peace is an inner calmness you feel when you have worked through unresolved issues, emotional blocks, disturbances that hold you back and the adrenaline that seems to feed it all. Inner peace is a connection to one's spirit and the trust to listen to your inner guidance system. You have a choice whether to experience inner peace or let outer turmoil get the best of you.

When experiencing inner peace a person is:

• able to let go of the grip external circumstances and people may create
• fully present in the moment and able to be with everyone, always
• gentle and calm
• accepting of self and others

Until a person reaches this peace, they may feel:

• disturbed by events, problems and other people
• prone to creating problems, disturbances or crisis
• unable to relax and enjoy life fully
• the need to keep busy, feel frantic, rushed or preoccupied

Here are 10 steps to work toward inner peace.

1. Have issues resolved rather than "fixed for now".
2. Be accepting of what is, rather than fighting or resisting the things you can not control.
3. Take responsibility for how you react to others.
4. Become aware of feelings, rather than blind or ignorant to them.
5. Tell the truth.
6. Know the difference between self, ego, mind, needs and past experiences.
7. Catch yourself when you feel an adrenaline trigger.
8. Recognize and inquire about the things that push your buttons.
9. Don't procrastinate, do it! (yet don't fix others).
10. Make peace part of your routine.

Like working on your 10 daily habits, adding the practice of creating peace takes time and patience.

Go with the flow and enjoy the process.

When you are a reactionary you are reacting to other people including their feelings and their actions to those feelings. We also react to their problems and behaviors surrounding those problems. We then become uncomfortable with what is happening around us. There is a hidden panic within us. We become anxious and fearful. We either try to control the situation or ignore what is happening, which becomes denial. We become so uncomfortable with the situation we then turn it around to blame the other person.

Anger is a natural God-given emotion but it can at times get the best of us. It can be an essential device for basic survival, but we need to know how to recognize it so we can learn to convey it in a more appropriate manner than angry outbursts. Anger can be expressed in a healthy or in an unhealthy way.

Trust is an important element in every relationship. If trust isn't a priority within the relationship, there isn't much of a relationship. As codependents, we learned a lot of the traits we carry with us throughout our life in our early childhood. As children we are pretty adaptive to our circumstances, but when we see inconsistencies in our environment we tend to focus on them and we end up reacting instead of acting on them. We then have not only a lack of trust in others, but also in ourselves. Emotional trust may be missing in our relationships due to what we lived through as children.

To love yourself is important especially when you are in a codependent relationship. It is essential to your welfare and happiness. You need to learn to value yourself and your life. It is imperative that you honor the feelings you feel, but you should not base your self-worth on external sources. Your self-worth comes when you start looking within and being glad of who you are.
