How does a person keep "peace within themselves" through life's ups-and-downs?

I couldn't at least not until I received the Prince of Peace who is Jesus Christ.Before you turn this message off because you're looking for some kind of psychological solution to your problems,at least be open enough to read this.psychology deals with the mind but ignores the area of the human spirit.There are three parts of a human being and that is spirit, soul(mind,will,and emotions),and body.There is an emptyness inside of every person until their hooked up with their creator, but sin has separated us from our God!I've served God for the last 27 years and have not regretted a day of it.There's a huge difference between going through life's up and downs with God on your side than without!

there are many ways to do that, first be a faith practitioner, once you know that day follows night, that no matter the darkness of the night day time must arrive, this wiil give you the inner peace to keep peace. You also need to take an objective view of the ups and downs to see if you are not magnifying it, do not make a mountain out of a molehiil, this will really help matters a lot.

By sticking to their guns. By being true to themselves and their beliefs no matter what life throws at them, whether it be persecution or doom - no one will be able to still the everlasting self respect you have for yourself in that way.It breeds self confidence, self respect, self esteem, and immense inner peace to do so. It's people who do follow their morals in this way that feel good inside and don't know why. It's because deep inside they know that they're a person of value. and that's where it all starts.

By keeping your chin up, remembering that there are many worse things that could be happening to you right now that is happening to people all around the world, appreciating the things you are blessed with and the people that surround you, friends, family etc. Even if they are not perfect.. no one is. Just keep smiling , when one door closes , sometimes another one closes, and another... and then finally all of them open back up again at once!

Your question is what mankind has searched for, for thousands of years. Ways have been found but then lost. This used to be what Buddhism, yoga and meditation were supposed to do. Read article on site below and see how this question is the purpose of your human life.

confidence in yourself, looking at the good things, remembering who you are and never forgetting...always knowing that something can change (for the good). Life is Always full of ups and downs, just dont let them get to you, all of us have a long, long life ahead of us, it just matters how you make your use of it

but find stuff that helps you get through things, such as music, movies, religion, friends, making music, learning, anything that just helps you remember who you are and what you like to do

I don't know, but I can't wait to see some answers. I need to learn how to meditate or maybe get some psychotherapy or some other kind of inner peaceness.

Taking a 30 minute quiet time each day.

Reading positive material.

Taking time to think thru your actions vs. automatic reacting. Prayer.

Concentrate on the nowness of now! Know the difference between what you need and what you merely want. What is wanted lives in the mind. What is needed lives in the heart. Listen to the voice of your heart!

It's something you have to search for inside you.

It requires a lot of inner stamina to get there.
