What's the best way to acquire peace of mind?

The problem of lockdown: 

I have noticed that many people not knowing what to do during the lockdown time, are losing their peace of mind. Just a small argument turns into a raging fight. Specially Husband-Wife. And in many other ways, we tend to get angry easily and often lose their peace of mind.

And whenever we search on the Internet a solution for this, we always get only one: Meditation, Meditation and only Meditation. But today I will tell you one more way I have learned to achieve peace of mind without a LONG meditation which normally we don't follow......

Is there any other way of retaining peace of mind? My story...

Before I say about it, let me just say that here in my writing I don't mean meditation is bad. Neither you shouldn't opt for it.

Through this writing, I just wanna convey a lesson I learned from my life. Meditation is vital. You should meditate. It has a lot more benefits than simply attaining peace of mind. I believe now that you won't take my article against meditation or anything else. So, let's move on...

Just about two weeks ago, I learned this lesson. It really worked for me. And I think it will work for you too. Attaining peace of mind is actually not that difficult at all! By saying it, I mean it. It's a moral lesson that our grandparents, our parents, and our elders teach us. Sadly, as we grow we forget it. We feel our so-called reputation will be hurt. Our STATUS falls down. And so many things run in your brain shouting, screaming that if you do it, you will be insulted and so many other non-sense. 

Well, what is it? Its option to accept YOUR MISTAKE WHEN SOMEONE HAS A GENUINE REASON WHY YOU ARE WRONG. AND ALSO TO FORGIVE SOMEONE. What's the problem with your defeat? We all are humans. We learn from our mistakes. So there shouldn't be a hitch in accepting it right? But most of us fail most of the time. But I am not writing this post to give the same old lecture which you are bored of listening to it again and again...

 I just will be telling some origins where this starts. How does it then grow an argument into a fight and how it damages not the one in front of you but YOU!

Okay, scenario 1: You did something which you didn't know was wrong. Like, We have a custom in-home that the rice utensil must not touch any other utensils. After we touch it, immediately without touching anything else we must wash our hands. So assume that you touched it and then touched many things without washing. So, when your elders scold you, would you easily accept it? Or would you sometimes blame why is it there or here? This was just an example. I couldn't remember anything else so I wrote this. It can be anything else. But the choice is the same; Accept or Reject your mistake. Accepting will make a humble man or rejecting your own mistake; you decide what.

Scenario 2: This one is for couples. Just assume here. I don't mean wives are bad or their husbands. But just try to see how a fight occurs: For the Lunch, she just puts too much salt for the dish unknowingly. ( Well perhaps sometimes knowingly 😁  ) And the dish becomes too salty, arguments begin. Now again, accept or reject. Choose to have some peace of mind while eating or fighting. This way it begins.....

Sometimes, it's 100% of the husband's fault, but he doesn't agree. 

Scenario 3: Neighbours: Let's assume you commented upon the house or their kinds of stuff or their assets something which they felt bad. And jealousy can also sometimes put you in trouble. Be careful about it! So they just say they didn't like it in front of some other people. Would you apologize or would you argue further just not to let your so-called status down? The choice is up to you. If you chose to argue then can you talk to them peacefully later on? Won't you lose your peace of mind and at least think about it for an hour or so and even ruin that time?  

What are the plus points?

Now just see what happens when you choose to accept your mistake and are ready to correct it:
The argument stops. There won't be any question of a fight. The time which would be wasted in a fight is now saved. Plus, since your relationship as a neighbor, or something else won't be harmed. With that saved time, not only you achieved peace of mind but also you can invest it in learning something new or developing some skill, and so on...

And about forgiving someone who has done harm to you knowingly or unknowingly, it will be an act of shame for them (if they did it knowingly)and something they will remember for a long time. So in both cases, It won't repeat. It's like a win-win. 

So these were some ways of how just by accepting your mistakes you can give you more peace of mind and also make it last longer which can also be achieved by meditation but after a long time. Meditation is also equally important, so don't neglect it. 

Also another thing, your weakness also shouldn't take away your peace of mind.

And prevention of losing is equal to achieving or gaining!!

Thank You
