Calmer in 5

Today on Calmer in Five: When we look back on our lives, there is often a tendency to see it through rose-colored glasses. We regale in all the good times, turning a blind eye to the challenges we faced. Regardless of how we look back, we still run the risk of missing the moments right here…now. Today I share with you a story about how that happened to me. Perhaps you can benefit from my lesson.

Today on Calmer in Five: We are told that life is about doing things big; enjoying the big things. But as you will learn today (or maybe relearn) there is such profundity and joy in noticing the smaller moments. There is great peace in understanding that there are no insignificant moments.

Today on Calmer in Five: Do consider yourself to be a belligerent person; ready to fight if someone invades "your" space. You are not alone. I have even had a moment or two like that; as you'll hear. In my case, I found out something really important. Maybe in asking yourself that question you'll have an epiphany too.

Today on Calmer in Five: Our level of calm can be easily upset when something we value gets stolen, or broken; including our bodies and our health. Imagine how much more peaceful our lives would be if we understood that we, and all our things, are safe. Interesting concept. Let's talk about it.

Today on Calmer in Five: Each of us has different values and beliefs. We see the world in a unique way. But to that point, how do you see the world, what has meaning for you.

Today on Calmer in Five: I came across a commercial while at my Dad's house the other day that was the perfect example of how advertising ads to our level of anxiety. In this episode, I will break down that ad to demonstrate the subtle ways that marketers propel us to feelings of unworthiness; how they tell us to avoid being still.

Today on Calmer in Five: The poet Joyce Kilmer had it right along when talking about trees. As abundant as they are (hopefully becoming more abundant) you would think we would have a fuller appreciation of them. Well, today I'm going to do my part to right that wrong, and discuss how trees can be the perfect reminder for how to live.

There is a predominant belief in the U.S. and many other parts of the world, and it is a huge cause of stress. It's the misbelief that we need to be the best at what we do. It is a thought that is perpetuated in almost every facet of life; definitely in advertising, and definitely in the workplace. Today I talk about how this leads to anxiety and how to rethink this crippling understanding.

One of the most insidious parts of stress is its ability to sneak up on us. But here's the thing; it doesn't. It just seems like it does because we have a limited awareness. Our body gives us plenty of cues as to whether we are stressed or not, we usually just ignore them until they get un-ignorable. Today, let's change that.

It's no secret that our society in the U.S. is mainly focused on doing things…doing things faster. It's no wonder why any slight delay in us getting "our stuff" results in impatience. Today I talk once again about shifting our perspective to achieve a deeper level of calm. In this instance, being thankful for delays.

While I encourage everyone to review their lives whenever they choose, most people opt for this time of year to see what is working and what is not. In keeping with that mode of thought, today I ask you to think about your level of calm last year. More to the point, I talk about ways to make this year (or any year) more peaceful.

Today on Calmer in Five: The thoughts you think create your life. And yes, I totally understand that is a thought. But to my point, a thought that allows growth and joy.

Today on Calmer in Five: I discuss the concept of non linear time, but for a very practical reason. When we label a thing as bad from the past, we bring that energy into the perceived present. In order to have a calmer life, it will be serving to remove judgment from events we earlier saw as challenging. Calm University Enrollment is now open!

Today on Calmer in Five: This time of year is all about making changes. Maybe it's a healthier way of eating or dropping a few extra pounds.

I got a great reminder the other day about choosing your own path. What was the source of this epiphany? A fly…a common housefly. Lessons can come from anywhere, and this one was a great remembrance; Choose to live your life by your own thoughts and ideals, and don't simply fall into thoughts that won't move you forward.

When we wake up and pour a cup of coffee, we never realize what a gift it is to have it. We just think it's always going to be there. The same is true of people and other things. Because we see them every day, we think they will be there forever. They won't. Today I talk about expressing gratitude for the everyday things that you might take for granted.

To many people, the thought of disengaging from any or all social media is ludicrous. However, upon careful consideration, I am going to conduct an experiment for the month of January; no social media…at all. Lately I found myself losing some peace from scrolling through Instagram. Sure I followed some positive authors and thought leaders, but thrown into the mix of their posts were advertisements, negative reels and of course, some unkind comments and people. I will let you know how it goes.

There are so many wonderful aspects of being human; but there are some that can mess with our level of calm. Today I talk about one of those things; the feeling of urgency that comes from feeling a need to validate your life. Whatever you do, or don't do, has little impact on the your value. You are light and Love regardless of self-perceived destiny. Simply be.

As we get older we feel that our options are dwindling. We feel we know longer have the ability to change things about ourselves that are no longer working. We feel we can't change circumstances. Well, regardless of your age, you can ALWAYS change anything about yourself or your situations that you want. Let's talk about it.
