Clarity in mind
means peace in life. Our unconscious mind loves clarity and it works better in
clear situations. Most of us are clouded by our thoughts, distracted by social media, depressed by our environment that makes the situation of our mind worse. If you religiously follow the below simple steps, you can step into
a more clear version of your reality.
1. Sleep
Sleep calms the
chaos in our thoughts. Every person process millions of thoughts per second.
All these thoughts
come to rest only when you are asleep. It is important to have at least 8 hours
of proper sleep.
Good sleep improves your mood and you will be
all set with a new clarity to start your day.
2. Brain dump
This is one of the
most important ways to calm your thoughts.
Take a journal, and
write down whatever pops up in your head for the next 10 mins. You can write
anything you want. If you don’t know what to write, then write 'I don't know
what to write'.
It is really a
simple technique with profound benefits in calming your thoughts and paving way
for clarity.
3. Relax your body and mind
The chaos in your
thoughts is the reason for your lack of clarity. This chaos actually stems from
stressors that cause stress.
As per neuroscience
and mind body soul connection, whatever affects our mind affects our physical
body. Again, the pressure in your physical body ruins your mind. This then
becomes a loop.
Due to stress, your
muscles tense and create aches and pains. So, it is important to relax your
body and mind.
You can use guided
meditation or yoga to relax and reflex your muscles.
Meditation is an
effective technique to calm your mind. Yes, it seems hard to control your
thoughts at the beginning. But as time goes you can have control over your
thoughts with consistent practice.
4. Decluttering
As I said, your mind
loves clarity. So, it is important to declutter both physically and mentally.
Organize your room,
give away things that you don't use, clean your mess, do a social media
declutter, journal your thoughts. These are some of the ways you can declutter.

know elaborately on Decluttering.
5. Don’t work too hard
Don’t work beyond
your schedule always. Take breaks.
Your career is
important but what is more important is your mental health. So take care of
yourself by rewarding yourself.
Acknowledge your
progress and appreciate yourself. Most importantly, love yourself.
