Here are simple 10 lessons that can change your life and make it more peaceful.

1. Live in integrity. Spend your time doing activities that match your highest intentions. Trust your heart and be willing to let go of things that no longer serve you.

2. There is only now. You are complete and whole now. Don't get stuck worrying about tomorrow. Instead, focus on the good things that are happening today, no matter how small. Make a mental gratitude list each night.

3. All conflict is inside your mind. Any conflict you see or experience in the outside world is a projection of your ego. In truth, the world is completely at peace and you project your fear or peace onto the world. You need to resolve your inner conflict and stop projecting it onto others by thinking that they are the ones causing the problem. Other people are neutral, and you color them with your own thoughts. Then, you react to them as if these colors were real. Other people, in turn, treat you in the way that you expect, in a self-fulfilling prophecy.

4. Purify your diet. Eat a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and whole grains, which have the highest vibrational frequencies. Avoid procesed sugar, fast foods, and caffeine, which have the lowest vibrations. And remember that the essence of all the foods you eat affect you long after the food is digested and gone.

5. Don't give in order to get.You will get results from giving; that is the universal law. But it is not up to you how the cause and effect will be circulated. Plus, if you expect something in return, you haven't truly given away anything. Instead, you're holding it in consciousness, expecting to get something first before you fully release it.

6. Spend time alone in nature. There are healing properties in the sounds, sights, and smells of nature. Being in nature helps you to adapt to the natural rhythm of the earth, and since timing and cycles are a part of everything, you become more in sync with the rhythm of life.

7. Detach yourself from material things. When you are attached to matter in thought, you stay attached to the ego. There is no way of escaping this law. There is nothing wrong with having things, but when you're too attached to them, you are focused on your lower-self nature, instead of your higher self.

8. Judge not. You judge others as a way of protecting yourself, to keep them away from you so you won't get close to them and get hurt. When this happens, you're creating fear instead of love. Try to have compassion, to understand others instead of criticizing them.

9. You live where your consciousness is focused. If you think an unloving thought or a thought devoid of love such as competition, envy, or worry, you feel pain. You ARE your consciousness and you feel the effects of where your consciousness is focused. You do not want pain. Therefore, choose to give your unloving thoughts to the light.

10. In all things, give glory to God. Do not seek glory for yourself. When you give glory to God, you are giving glory to that part of yourself that is one with God. By giving glory to God, you stay out of your ego state, and stay centered in your higher self consciousness. Remember that you are praising the real you each time you give glory to God.
