   When you were a child you had a pure mind, which was free from worries and anxieties. As time passed, you were influenced by several crises  16  . Below are some techniques which can help you keep a peaceful mind:
Mind your own business.
   Focusing on things which are not related to you often results in negativity   17  . So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind, think about whether this is really something you should be worried about. If it isn’t, avoid it right away and focus on something positive.
  18  .
   Stay away from negative people. When someone is negative, he spreads negativity and you get affected. Always staying with such people will have long-term influence on your character. So think about your company.
Don’t think about others too much.
   Remember the great saying:  19  ; Average minds discuss events; Higher minds discuss ideas and great minds act in silent. Don’t allow your brain to compare yourself to others. Don’t be jealous. This harms your soul and takes away your mental peace.
Ignore your thoughts about being unlucky.
   Bad luck happens to everyone. Time, whether good or bad, passes quickly.   20  . Believe in the power of now. Believe in your skills. Work hard and you will get what you feel you’re worthy of.
   With these suggestions, I believe you can bring major changes in your lifestyle and attain back your mental peace.
