Meditation is a great practice for detaching from your thoughts. When you detach from your anxious and racing thoughts, you can observe them and not be controlled by them. Being able to observe and not react to a stimulus is a key component of being calm. You can’t change the past, it’s already happened. You can’t change the future, it hasn’t happened yet. The only place from which you can do anything is the present moment. Being calm is an active practice of being where you are completely. Mentally, emotionally and physically. Calm people are peaceful because they accept things for what they are. A gratitude practice has been a great way of shifting my perspective from a lack mindset to an abundance mindset. Getting into your body is a powerful way to get out of your head. You can use your body to influence and change your mind. Taking time to cultivate a relationship with nature is a great way to cultivate presence and calmness because you are less focused on yourself and on the wonders that exist around you. Being calm is learning to go with the flow and do what you can where you can. Through my journey, I’ve learned that serenity and a calm life are not given to a few lucky people while the rest of us have to be anxious and in a constant state of chaos. It’s available to everyone and anyone. It’s a conscious daily practice.

They choose to walk, whether it's to meetings across town or shops up the road, calm people walk every day. The simple leg-stretching, head-clearing activity is mandatory for serenity. Get in the habit of working a walk into your days, getting off the bus or train a stop early if you have to.
They prioritize self-care, sufficient sleep, good nutrition, and physical activity are nonnegotiable for calm people. Make calming activities like meditating, reading, eating comforting foods, or taking supplements that help the body relax the backbone of your day, and get closer to the composure you crave.
They practice being in the moment, most calm buffs meditate, practice yoga, do tai chi, or have other formal mindfulness practice that keeps them fully present. You can choose surfing, gardening, or reading with your kids, but be diligent and practice regularly to get the stress-reduction effect.
They self-regulate and exercise healthy boundaries, they are self-aware and responsive to their mental, physical, and emotional needs. Practice tuning in and asserting your needs within yourself and with others, and enjoy feeling more in control.
Start small, start now, and enjoy all the calm you deserve.

When others are stressing out, I can help calm them down. When things aren’t going well, I calmly take appropriate action instead of falling apart. I can feel into the difficulty, and find the peace, the unshakable connection to everything around me. Remind yourself of this motto whenever things are going wrong, or someone is frustrating you, or you aren’t getting what you want: No big deal. You have a million things to do and not enough time to do it all? Not a big deal: pick the things you can do, and get to work. Have a huge task to do that is going to be very difficult? No big deal. Just take the first step. Get in touch with the difficulty. This usually results in greater difficulty and unhappiness with the situation. Instead, we can get in touch with the feeling of stress, with the pain or fear or anger or irritation that we’re feeling. Get bigger than yourself. When you’re getting bothered, try stepping outside yourself and seeing things from the point of view of others, or a bird’s-eye view. Connect with the peace at the center. Once you find this unshakable connection, it doesn’t matter what’s happening around you - it’s there.
