A Conscious Day Of Calmness

To get back control of a situation, one has to stop the complaining and whining attitude. We are not helping ourselves by explaining to others how miserable we feel, and are better off focusing on moving forward.

Stop Whining

Action is nothing in theory, as too much knowledge can only induce doubt and inaction in a person. Taking the right action, even if it is just one action, helps us move towards a solution.

Just Do It

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

No matter how hard or adverse the situation, one can benefit by remaining calm and simply breathing in and out deeply. We all have an inherent strength to overcome any condition, with research even suggesting a link between staying calm and being successful.

Feeling Calm In Hard Times

Sometimes we think that we are moving forward, but do not correctly identify the direction. Moving forward can also mean moving sideways or even backwards.  One needs to change their perspective and start the journey with the right direction. The arrow moves backwards to gain momentum before it can move forward at its target.

Change Your Direction

Doom-thinking or the constant negative thought spiral going in our heads will only take us away from the solution. It is better to use all of your energy to focus on just one thing. “There’s no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A.” - Will Smith

Stop The Negative Thought Spiral

Drinking warm water slowly will flush out your system, decrease your calorie load, and improve the function of all your cells while helping you think straight. Water helps us replenish our bodies, which is made of 60 percent water itself.

Just Drink Warm Water

Continuing to go on the path that you have chosen will provide you with the same results as before. You cannot expect different results with the same kind of effort. Identify your wrong actions/mistakes and ensure that those are not repeated.

Stop Doing What You Do All The Time

"A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can’t do. I always look on the positive side of what I can do."

One can use the emotions and feel one’s way towards a solution. If we use our feelings not to be stressed out or scared, but towards being blessed, we will move towards all the answers we strive for.

Just Feel

Other people will give you all sorts of advice, but you have to look honestly inside yourself, as you are the best person to know what is going on.  “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.” – Oscar Wilde

Stop Interacting With Others

"those who press on. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on.” "

Calmness is about stopping. One can simply stop doing everything and just breath, even if for a few seconds. Get your mind to a reset mode, taking back control. Breathing in and out will provide you with a calm start which will transform a challenging situation into a success.
