One of the most effective ways to finding peace and happiness is having your inner chemistry in balance. In a previous long form article, I provide depth and context about what inner chemistry is and how we can get it in balance. https://therollingj.net/finding-inner-peace-through-unity/
So how do you develop inner chemistry?
Our inner chemistry contains four separate components that are all interconnected in some way. Those four being mind, body, soul, and spirit. These four elements make up who we are as human beings. They determine our thoughts, actions, reactions, emotions, and our overall outlook on life. Without these four in balance, there will a disconnect between who we are on the inside and how we are perceived on the outside.
If you are not getting the desired responses and reactions from others, you must look internally at yourself. It could be that you perceive yourself in a way that is inconsistent with the way others perceive you. That is due to a lack of balance in your inner chemistry. A lack of inner chemistry balance is when you overvalue certain elements more than others. It is important to provide equal attention and care to all four elements. The mind, body, soul, and spirit.
Have you ever known something was wrong, but it felt right? Or knew something was right but it just didn’t feel right? This is a result from imbalance in the inner chemistry. Your mind may be saying one thing, but your soul or spirit is trying to tell you something different. You may be telling yourself that something is right even though “deep down,” you don’t feel good about it. That “deep down” feeling is really your soul talking. Your soul is comprised of your true character and beliefs.
That disconnect between thought and feel is the disconnect between ego and soul. Our ego presents a distorted image of who we are. We can think we are better than we truly are at times. This ego is the enemy of the soul. The two are in constant battle. It is a battle than is so deep in your subconscious that you don’t even realize it is going on. However, this battle is crucial to the quality of our lives. Our ego wants us to be someone we are not while our soul wants us to be our true selves. When others perceive us differently than how we perceive ourselves, the ego has won the battle. When our outer world is aligned with our inner world, the soul has won the battle.
Becoming out of touch with any of these four elements (mind, body, soul, and spirit) can distort your own self-image. You may try to act a certain way to cover up for the deficiencies in one of these elements. For example, your soul yearns for growth, new ways of thinking, and gaining more knowledge. If you do not provide your soul with those things it will suffer. You will become rigid and stuck in your ways. Superiority and entitlement will start to settle in. You will think that you already know better than everyone else and you close yourself off. When you close yourself off, you are really closing off life itself. Life continues to move forward, so should we as individuals.
Your outer world is merely a projection of your inner world. If you lack balance in your inner chemistry, you will lack balance in your outer world. You will be unable to identify your strengths, weaknesses, passions, and limitations. When you lack internal balance, you try to overextend yourself in areas you are not as capable in. Taking on more than you can handle only leads to stress and frustration. Balanced inner chemistry allows you to direct your energy and focus in areas you are most passionate and capable in. A balanced life is a stress free life.
Possessing a balanced inner chemistry allows you to know yourself and be at peace with yourself. You don’t need to try and overextend and take on too much. A balanced life is a stress free life.
Just like it is in chemistry with balancing chemical equations. The number of atoms with the reactants side must equal the number of atoms on the product side in order to be balanced. We can incorporate this science into our own lives. Think of our reactants as our inner world, who we are on the inside. Think of the products as our external world, and how other see us. If the reactants are not able to bond then there is no product. Just like if our inner world is disconnected, our external world will be an inaccurate projection of our inner world.
The easiest way to balance the mind, body, soul, and spirit is to know yourself. You must be willing to step out of your comfort zone and be open to new possibilities. You will not be able to know yourself without trying to discover your true self. Once you discover yourself, mindfulness is what allows your inner chemistry to stay in balance. Seek out quiet time, read and listen to encouraging words, spend time in nature each day, stimulate your mind through thought provoking questions, and get active physically. All of these things increase mindfulness and inner peace.
Mindfulness allows you to feel inner peace and connect to a higher power. Connecting to a higher power helps you find purpose and meaning in life. You will begin to appreciate things you formerly took for granted. You will also realize that stress and worry is all created in your mind. Life is too grand, too vast to let a worry or stressful moment disturb your inner chemistry and the peace you have cultivated inside. When you inner chemistry is in balance, you become high off life. Fulfillment and satisfaction come easy.
