International Day of Calm

This Wednesday is International Calm Day.
 
The ability to find inner peace, to create a refuge amidst life's demands,
distractions, uncertainties, and tough times is truly powerful. 
In fact, I have come to see that summoning calm is a superpower.
 
On Wednesday, I invite you to practice your superpower.
 
I encourage you to reflect on the ways that you've cultivated calm in
your life. Consider hosting a small meditation group or try a walking
meditation at lunch. 
 
Here's a short exercise you can do right now to reach that tranquil
place that lives within you:
Think of a moment in the past where you felt at ease and content.
For 30 seconds, close your eyes, breathe deeply, picture yourself
there and remember what it felt like in your body.  
 

"Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is a wonderful moment."

Thich Nhat Hahn
