INTRODUCTION

Serenity is the ability to keep calm and look ahead even in difficult situations. With more serenity in your life, you see the world differently and realize you are in control. And even if there are situations and circumstances in your life in which this is not the case, you remain yourself and retain the upper hand. With serenity in your life, you can enjoy life. You say yes to new things and don’t despair at your everyday stress.

This book accompanies you through the world of serene living and shows you where you can optimize your life. Where are you too hard on yourself? Where do you see problems that could actually be challenges and changes? While many people are consumed by worries on a daily basis, serenity can ensure you stay true to yourself even in difficult situations and you an carry on with confidence.

With more serenity in your life, you can prevent stress, anxiety, depression, and burn-out syndrome. With it, you can manage to be satisfied with your life. Just the way it is. Live more calmly and draw strength from the serenity you learn through the practical exercises in this book.

Reflect on the people you surround yourself with and the influence they have on you. Reduce stress, anxiety, and expectations of yourself. Because with more serenity in your life, one thing will become clear to you: You are good the way you are.

GET TO KNOW YOURSELF BETTER

Many people go through life without really knowing themselves. This can be seen in various things: For example, they don’t know what is good for them, what they like and what they can do for themselves when they are having a bad day. In today’s fast-paced society, where the focus is on numbers, data and facts, a natural component is often forgotten: The human being.

People think they work like machines. It just needs to be oiled and then it continues. Maybe once you’ve hit the side like a snack machine in which the selected snack has gotten stuck and then it’ll be fine. But humans are not machines and are not only kept alive by their basic vegetative needs. Of course, we do also need to eat, drink and sleep.

But mental health should not be ignored here. Because it can determine whether a person functions or lives. That’s why this book focuses on your inner life. This does not mean your organs and blood vessels, but your consciousness, your feelings, and thoughts. Get to know yourself better and learn to listen to and understand yourself through the exercises.

SERENITY-YOU CAN LEARN IT

What is actually meant by serenity? Serenity is the ability to simply sit back and know you cannot control everything yourself. Those things happen and not everything is in your hands. But instead of looking at life indifferently or even realistically, you look at it with joy and rapture.

You focus benevolently and consciously on the beautiful things in life and learn something new every day. Serenity also does not mean looking down at the ground with resignation and not looking up again. You allow yourself to be inspired, enchanted, and amazed.

Serenity means curiosity, inner peace, and reflection. When you are calm, you know who you are, what you can and cannot do. You find ways out of difficult situations and learn to deal with them through your own mistakes.

But serenity is not an easy and quick state to achieve. If you want to become calm, you have to actively practice it and give yourself time. You have to set yourself the goal of becoming more relaxed and take steps to achieve this.

There are a few stumbling blocks along the way you have to overcome. For example, thinking that others have to be convinced of you and validate you with a positive opinion. As social creatures, humans have a need to please others.

But even if this leads to living in harmonious communities, this tendency can also have a negative impact on living together and on your own health. Because if you are always after the approval of others, you make yourself dependent on others. In this guide, you will learn how to free yourself from others. You will learn to let go and enjoy the little things again. Because serenity, even if it is difficult to achieve, can be learned.

START SMALL

People always want everything immediately. They always want to be able to do everything perfectly. Metaphorically, it could be compared to this: You see a cake that looks delicious and instead of trying a slice, you take half of it and put it on your plate. But can you do everything? Of course not. And you might even realize you would have preferred to try another one.

Serenity is not a cake, but even with it, it is easy to overextend yourself by piling too much onto your plate. So right at the start of your journey to serenity, remember it’s better to start small and not plunge into the deep end straight away.

This guide will give you lots of practical exercises you should try out bit by bit. Don’t overtax yourself and don’t take on too much, especially at the beginning. It is important
