I don’t know many people who are not working, or having a very busy life. We are all juggling different things: work, family and sometimes even a hobby inside our free time. How can we make sure we have good foundations set before every task or everyday idea to feel calm?
You are not alone in your struggle to stay calm. We all have busy lives and feel frazzled and anxious at times.
However, a calm life is possible if you work at it. Here are some tips to help you build the foundations of a calm life:
- Keep your focus on the present
- Take time for yourself
- Learn to say no
- Set limits on things you cannot control
- Don’t give into negative thinking
The most important things in life are the foundations on which we build everything else. And if you have bad foundations, everything else is going to be shaky.
Everyone has their own foundation of calmness and peace, but sometimes we don’t even realize it exists within us. It’s like a wellspring of energy that just bubbles up inside of us when we feel stressed or anxious. We can tap into this wellspring anytime and feel so much better.
When you’re feeling stressed out or anxious, it’s very easy to get caught up in your thoughts. You may be thinking about how much you have to do, what people think of you, or how you won’t get anything done at all if everything keeps getting bigger and bigger the more time goes by.
But when we’re feeling stressed out or anxious, there’s something else happening inside of us that keeps us from being overwhelmed by all those thoughts: our foundation of calmness and peace.
A clutter-free mind is an essential foundation for a calm and steady life. So surround yourself with simplicity, keep your expectations low, create your own Zen space within, pursue more creativity and learn how to make the most out of each moment. That’s how to get from frazzled to calm.
