Your mind finds peace when it is able to be still. Life is chaotic and always moving, but there are ways to calm down your mind: soothing music, singing worship, cleaning, exercise, prayer, and quality time with God. I personally enjoy reading to find time to be still, but that does not necessarily mean that my mind will slow down at all.
Turn to God if you struggle with getting your mind to quiet down. The Holy Spirit will guide you. He will teach you what you need to get through today. Get through today and allow tomorrows problems wait until tomorrow.
How you talk to yourself will have a big impact on how your day will go. Make a vow to God that you will be kind to yourself to glorify Him. Stilling your mind calms your soul. It is not something that happens naturally. It takes practice, so be patient with yourself. Do not rip yourself apart when you are not perfect. You know what you are working toward.
You are capable. It starts with cutting off selfish behaviors and conditioning your mind to be a servant like Jesus. Fight the urge to get proud when things are going well. Stilling your mind brings you to a place of acceptance (of good things and purpose for bad things). It fights anger and defiance by accepting that God 's knowledge and rule is better than your own. You do this by choosing to trust Him.
Tell your soul to be open to God, accepting of His reign over you, and be willing to go where He leads. This can be exciting, but it does take being intentional. It will not happen by accident. How you speak to your soul matters. Do not speak depression, rage, legalism, or insults to yourself. Your mind will believe it and it will hurt your soul.
Let go of your defensiveness, distrust, and wall. God will fight with you and for you. Let Him. Accept what you allows to happen in your life. You will waste a lot of energy fighting it, but it is okay to go to Him when it is just too much. That could be His goal.
Allow His righteousness to cover your sins. Control your anger, so you do not act foolishly. Pray truth into your life. Admit when you are angry and allow the Holy Spirit to work in you to remove it. Righteous anger will resolve itself. The anger of rebellion, selfishness, and fighting God needs to be removed for your mind to find peace. That anger only allow Satan into your mind to reek havoc.
