I have on the wall in my office a sign that reads, "Serenity is not freedom from the storm but calm amidst the storm." These words keep me grounded and daily remind me that I have the power to be calm no matter what is going on around me. The wellness tip for you is to mindfully and purposefully choose to respond to the chaos and stressors of your life with a calm inner response.
In the midst of any kind of unrest, be it an argument, a traffic jam, a monetary crisis,
make the decision in the moment that you will find calm in the center of yourself. Take a few deep breaths in which you choose to empty your mind of judgment or fear and you will notice that you are more grounded, more rooted in your strength.
When those moments hit me, I simply affirm, "I choose peace in this moment".
I suggest you place somewhere in your home, car, or workplace a written affirmation or picture that reminds you that no one can make you lose touch with your inner strength and spiritual center without your permission or consent. Here is a great affirmation for you to say each day: I HAVE THE ABILITY TO STAY POISED AND CENTERED, REGARDLESS OF WHAT GOES BEFORE ME.
Stay well and stay calm!
