Things happen every day in life. We have a choice on how we handle these things. There are good, bad, and stressful things. Read full caption for my best holistic living tips on how to stay calm during the chaos! There are no guarantees in life except that things always change, and that one day we won’t be here. So, when life presents itself challenges, it’s best not to react immediately but to take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are in control your attitude and the way you handle chaos and disappointment. Be calm! 🕊️ ✨Some people find meditation helpful and there are lots of apps for that which I can recommend. I personally like connecting with nature for my quiet and active mediations (staring at and listening to the ocean, nature walks/hikes, horseback riding). ✨I also enjoy watching sunsets, smelling the fresh flowers in my yard, and bird-watching...especially the hawks and the hummingbirds! All these things help to boost serotonin, keep my mind calm and improve my mood too! ✨Box breathing techniques, taking adaptations and micro dosing 🍄 are other calming tools that help me and can be done anywhere. Feel free to DM me for my faves or with any questions. ❤️ Training yourself to have a calm mind is one of best things you can do for your own personal growth. Better decisions are made when the mind is calm. You won’t say things you don’t mean. You will be open to learning and listening more. You will get more things done in a day. You will be the person you want to be. ❤️ xxMelissa PS Once you become comfortable with being uncomfortable, things will start to feel a bit lighter, I promise!
