Yesterday, one of the participants in my “Attitude” class was an anxious husband, who was waiting for his wife to come out of surgery. We all have moments in our lives where our stress response is put into overdrive and we need to find a place of calm. The “art of calm” is learning how to redirect our sensory skills to recognize stimuli that provide us moments of calm in times of stress. The fragrance of a flower, soothing sounds of slow jazz, or a hug can link us to memories and emotions that immediately take us to a place of calm. By cultivating the art of calm we are able fully live in the present moment.
