When you think about your job, inner-peace may be the last thing that comes to your mind. If you're fortunate, you may feel content and satisfied at work, but peaceful? That's another story altogether.
Of course, many others may be closer to the other end of the spectrum, where work is something they all-out dread, not something they associate with a state of mental calm and serenity, with no anxiety whatsoever.

Finding Inner-Peace at Work
“Every time you let go, no matter where you are, you immediately feel lighter, happier, calmer and more peaceful,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and Director of Training of Sedona Training Associates. “The best thing to do to find peace at work is to let go in the moment.”
Now you may be wondering, what is 'letting go in the moment' and how do I do it? Letting go is a simple premise; it means releasing negative emotions like stress, fear, anxiety and tension.

And believe it or not, there are positive things going on all the time, if you choose to see them.
