We may have come across this phrase at least a hundred times in our lives and it makes complete sense for us to trying and implementing this for our betterment. But, it is usually very difficult to practice and attain this frame of mind. The moment we step out of our house, we encounter various conditions and come across many people, and the experiences with them might be pleasant or unpleasant. It may be that any of our colleagues irritates us or we are simply depressed by some unwanted news happening across the other part of the world. It becomes really difficult for us to achieve a balanced brain which is not affected by the events outside us.

One of the best ways to implement the above psychology can be avoiding our tendency to react or respond. Yes, it may sound a little weird, but very often it happens that we are always in a hurry to react or respond which disturbs the equilibrium of our brain. By avoiding this, we would be attaining a more stable of our body and thinking.

Also, if we try to bifurcate the major factors which can hamper our internal peace, then that can be Events, People and Words. Events happening around the world or in our countries can severely impact the state of our thinking. It may be an extremely joyous situation or a tragic one, by maintaining peace, it means that we have to balance our thoughts by neither getting too excited nor too disheartened. It may sound silly why should avoid being too happy or enthusiastic. Well, if we see spiritually or even scientifically, we need to deal with happiness and sorrow in the same way. Apart from the mental implications that it has, physiologically too, we should lead a balanced life. While it can be difficult to completely avoid the effects of the events around us, we can certainly try to minimize the effect.

Next comes the people around us, which can have a substantial effect on our internal peace. It is always recommended to be surrounded by positive people so that we get the same vibes but in practical life, it is hardly possible. You cannot control whom you are surrounded in your workplaces and in personal lives too, we often have to make compromises. So the best way can be ignoring the not so pleasant people’s behaviour and be focussing on yourself instead.

Lastly, the words that are spoken to us. Human beings are a social animal and it really impacts what do people say about us in our presence. Anyone in this world loves to hear praises about them. Similarly, no one likes to be criticized. The best way can be to develop an attitude where we are able to take appreciation and criticism in the same spirit. But if that is not possible, we can still try to ignore what words are being said about us.

The above methods are not so easy to implement and it requires months and years of practice as it is directly related to how you lead your life. Whatever may be the external conditions around us, people all over the world have same basic characteristics which are common throughout and it lies within us how do we let the external world affect our internal emotions. So try to be cool, calm and composed, before letting those external things affect you internally.
