Calm: a state of tranquility
I know very few people who spend part of their day feeling calm. There is much to do, go, see and accomplish in our lives. The act of just being, never mind feeling calm gets lost as a nice to have, wish I could or when I am on vacation…
Why does the feeling of calm elude us on a daily basis when we may all feel, act and treat each other better without daily agitation, competition and stress? We don’t need to wait for vacation to do the things we love. Slowing down does not signal that you are opting out. Sometimes we just need to catch our breath and spend a moment of quiet stillness.
Try This
It doesn’t have to take a lot of time or planning to create a space of calm. Find a moment, close your eyes and take a deep breath in, really fill your belly with the air around you, then slowly release. Repeat. You can do more, take more time next time – but for right now this is a starting point.
