Peace of Mind Quotes
The following quotes on having ‘peace of mind’ help to highlight the benefits and serene feeling of obtaining a peaceful state of mind in a hectic world.
What is Peace of Mind?
Peace of mind is a phrase that typically means not being upset or disturbed in one’s mind about a certain event or something disturbing. It is often associated with psychological well-being and security.
Peace of mind is a mental state where we feel calm, relaxed and content with the way something is.
Whilst similar to inner peace, peace of mind tends to be in regards to a particular event or situation that we have ‘going on’ in our lives.
Examples of Peace of Mind
Peace of mind can be different for each individual, but it’s likely to occur when:
- we leave our homes and know that we locked all doors and windows,
- we set all our bills to pay on auto-pay so we know they are taken care of,
- we install a security system in our home,
- we write a to-do list before going to bed, knowing what we need to start working on in the morning,
- we do that ‘extra’ check, just to make sure,
- we take our child to the school gate,
- we get a second opinion from another professional,
- we call to confirm a reservation,
- we check the tickets again,
- we lay out our clothes for the next day,
- we make a grocery list,
- we discuss and resolve a disagreement with a friend or loved one.
Having ‘Peace of Mind’
Having a peace of mind about something is important because it allows us to mentally and emotionally ‘check’ something off our lists.
We can then rest easier knowing that task, situation, event etc has been dealt with effectively and we can move on.
It’s peaceful, brings control and contentment. Well worth it!
