Cultivate Calm…
Daily Affirmation:
I love the person I am and who I am becoming.
The Active Decision (3 from Andy Andrews)
I AM A PERSON OF ACTION. I am Resilient
I will create a new future by creating a new me. I inspire others with my activity. I am a leader. I will create a habit of healthy behavior.
Excerpt from Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown CALM I define calm as creating perspective and mindfulness while managing emotional reactivity. When I think about calm people, I think about people who can bring perspective to complicated situations and feel their feelings without reacting to heightened emotions like fear and anger…
I try to be slow to respond and quick to think, “Do we even have all the information we need to make a decision or form a response?” I also stay very mindful about the effect that calm has on an anxious person or situation. A panicked response produces more panic and more fear. As psychologist and writer Harriet Lerner says, “Anxiety is extremely contagious, but so is calm.”2 The question becomes, Do we want to infect people with more anxiety, or heal ourselves and the people around us with calm?
