Try and stay calm when stressful thoughts invade your life. Think of something that makes you happy and puts your mind at ease. Nothing is as bad as your mind can make you believe it is.
And don’t forget to breathe.

The one thing that I always have to keep calm…is a view like the one above Michele. Water always grounds me, gives a lovely place to center and let it all go 😀
Great post ❤

I feel the same way, Mark. Water, especially the ocean always brings me peace. It’s a spiritual event for me.

I am trying to keep my mind calm. It helps me focus and be mentally productive when I need it most. Being calm doesn’t mean being indifferent, right 🙂

The mind loves to be in control. But it’s not always taking us in the right direction.
