Do you ever feel a little worried or stressed or anxious? Mmmhmmm, that’s what I thought.
Well, I have some good news for you – all is not lost when you’re feeling that way because you have the ability to create your own calm. Repeat after me: I CAN CREATE MY OWN CALM. Ahh, such a powerful mantra/affirmation.
Now, if you are looking for some helpful suggestions for this, look no further. I have 30 ways to find some inner peace, tranquility, calm…or whatever term sounds the best to you.
Try one, two, ten, or ALL of these. Some may work for you, some may not…and that’s totally okay. Not every act works for every situation, so hopefully you will find something that best fits your needs!
