It is possible to train oneself to a habit of being calm.
This was not how I was raised.
This is not what I practiced while I was raising my own children.
It is what I decided I wanted to be and how I wanted to live.
I began by realizing that I did not need to panic over certain things.
I learned to remain calm in certain situations.
Then I began expanding it to other areas of concern and even anger.
I learned I could be calm then, also, and I could listen for solutions in a calm frame of mind.
Now, many big things which would have pushed me completely over the edge with severe emotional reaction, are met with calm.
From finding what I need in small situations from a calm demeanor, inwardly and outwardly, I have been able to have the expectation that I will find what I need in more disturbing situations.
I always do.
As I continue to remain calm, the solution gently presents itself.
It may take a little while, but, because I know it is there, and because I am preparing a place for it with my calm mind, I am able to receive it every time.
I like this new approach to living.
I certainly enjoy it much more, and I have a much more productive life.
