How to Reclaim Calm

In today's episode, I shared all nitty gritty about remaining and reclaiming  calm in different aspects of life.
At workplace,  clam people better empathy with others , and their calming energy also translate to others, putting everyone to operate at greater ease and creating an environment of ease and trust.  Our calmness level also profoundly impacts our relationship-building and well-being. Calm is an internal emotional status that also  reflects in our external body presence.
To both maintain and recapture a sense of calmness,
1:It all begins with awareness, which serves as the foundation for developing any mindset and tool.   It often took both positive and negative experiences to identify our triggers and underlying factors that disrupt our calmness, causing emotions like fear, anxiety, and rumination.  When we attain a certain level of awareness, we will be less likely to react impulsively.  Reacting rarely leads to anywhere positive but exacerbates the situation.  Given that part of our emotional triggers remain unknown, it's necessary to slow down and grant ourselves the time to analyse and process the unfolding events.  My experience has taught me that all emotions are equally important experiences, including those moments when we feel out of alignment. The key is to trust our ability to realign ourselves.
  
2: A patient or positive mindset is also a key that helps me remain calm. I had a  big honour to interview an empowering lady Chloe on my another podcast ' Life Designer' a year ago. Her insights into positive thinking have stayed with me to this day. She said after turning 30, she no longer experiences the same level of anxiety she used to because deep down, she's confident that she'll overcome obstacles and reach her goals. Our brain needs evidence to respond to new situations. I've found regular reflection useful in helping us accumulate evidence and references, guiding us through whatever problems lie ahead.   Patients also extend our calmness span, as we put everything in perspective, aligning each step with an ultimate vision in mind. I once came across a podcast episode that mentioned it often takes around five years to complete a significant project, whether personal or professional. At a certain point, you'll realize that anything worth doing is challenging. We may not sustain a constent state of calmness every second, but patience sustains us emotionally at the deepest level toward the end goal. 

3: The body and mind are profoundly connected and mutually support each other. When our mind runs into a bit of a spiral, we may want to turn to our body for comfort. we may take deep breaths and lean into activities that calm our minds down (I should say). It's a method of dealing with sudden emotional distress.  for example, when i suddenly feel distressed,  my body quickly responds by reaching for calming foods (like cucumber and blueberries0 or heading outdoors. If conditions permit, nature is the best remedy.
Music and exercise are two major consistent sources of camlness in my life.   It took me a few years to turn exercise into my  built-in habit. I made a podcast episode about this journey, feel free to check out this episode if you are interested. My point is you may want to explore more options when it comes to strategy-building. The reality is sometimes you may not feel up to hitting the gym, but you can nimbly shift to walking to a park and feeling breathing again. The more tools you  prepare, the more quickly you will get back to a state of alignment.
