Ahhh. Calm. It’s essential. It’s essential for growing, good relationships, and creativity. These days we may need a plan to arrive at calm. We can plug neuroscience in here but that can be a rabbit trail when making a case for calm. Just now, we don’t want our minds in over-drive. It boils down for our purposes to know what allows you to feel safe. Safety makes way for calm to arrive.

So, what brings you to a sense of safety? Write it down. For me it’s the steadiness of waves. Observing wind through the trees. Thinking of people who love me. Watching snow fall. Hearing birds. Relaxing after a walk. Prayer. Seek calm.

It is not a luxury. It is essential.
