We specifically placed this article in the “every day” section, as we believe that it will be useful for every person to calm down in time, put their thoughts in order and just relax.

1. Sit on a chair and relax completely. Starting at your toes and working your way up to your head, relax every part of your body. Confirm relaxation by saying: "My toes are relaxed... my fingers are relaxed... my facial muscles are relaxed..." etc.
2. Imagine your mind as the surface of a lake during a thunderstorm, when the waves are rising and the water is bubbling.. But now the waves subsided, and the surface of the lake became calm and smooth.
3. Spend two or three minutes reminiscing about the most beautiful and peaceful scenes you have ever seen.: for example, a mountain slope at sunset, or a deep plain filled with the silence of an early morning, or a midday forest, or the reflection of moonlight on water ripples. Relive these pictures.
4. Repeat slowly the words of calm, calmly, melodiously a series of words expressing peace and tranquility, for example: calm (say it slowly, in a low voice); serenity; silence. Think of other words of this type and repeat them..
5. Make a mental list of times in your life when you knew you were under God's protection and remember how He brought things back to normal and calmed you down when you were worried and scared. Then read aloud this line from an old hymn: "So long has Your power guarded me that I know it will SILENTLY guide me further."
6. Repeat the following stanza, which has amazing power to relax and calm the mind.: « You keep a firm spirit in perfect peace, for he trusts in You"(Book of Isaiah 26:3). Repeat it several times during the day, as soon as you have a free minute. Say it out loud, if possible, so that by the end of the day you have time to say it many times. Think of these words as active, vital, penetrating into your mind, and it sends them from there to every area of your thinking, like a healing balm. This is the most effective medicine to remove tension from your mind..
7. Let your breath bring you to a calm state. Mindful breathing, which in itself is a powerful meditation, will gradually bring you into contact with the body. Follow your breath as the air moves in and out of your body. Inhale and feel how with each inhalation and exhalation, the stomach first rises slightly, and then falls. If visualization is easy enough for you, then just close your eyes and imagine yourself engulfed in light or immersed in a luminous substance - in a sea of consciousness. Now breathe in that light. Feel how the luminous substance fills your body and also makes it glow. Then gradually shift the focus more to the feeling. Here you are in the body. Just don't get attached to any visual image.

How to stay calm, the health benefits of being calm, or how to stop throwing and tearing.
Many people unnecessarily complicate their lives by wasting their strength and energy, succumbing to an uncontrolled state, which is expressed by the words "tear and throw."
Does it happen to you that you “tear and toss”? If yes, then I will draw you a picture of this state. The word "vomit" means boiling, explosion, release of steam, irritation, confusion, seething. The word "throw" has similar meanings. When I hear him, I remember a sick child at night, who is naughty and now screams, now whimpering plaintively. As soon as he calms down, he starts again. It's annoying, annoying, destructive. Throwing is a childish term, but it describes the emotional response of many adults.
The Bible advises us: “…not in your wrath…” (Psalm 37:2). This is useful advice for people of our time. We need to stop tearing and tossing and find peace if we want to save strength for an active life. And how to achieve this?
The first step is to moderate your stride, or at least the pace of your steps. We do not realize how much the pace of our life or the speed we set ourselves has increased. Many people are destroying their physical body at this rate, but even sadder, they are tearing their mind and soul to shreds as well. A person can live a calm physical life and at the same time maintain a high emotional pace. From this point of view, even a disabled person can live at too high a pace. This term defines the nature of our thoughts. When the mind frantically jumps from one position to another, it becomes extremely excited, and the result is a state close to a flash of irritation. The tempo of modern life must be slowed down if we are not to suffer later the debilitating overexcitement and over-excitement it causes. Such overexcitation produces toxic substances in the human body and leads to diseases of an emotional nature. This results in fatigue and frustration, which is why we tear and flail when it comes to everything from our personal problems to national or global events. But if the influence of this emotional disturbance produces such an effect on our physiology, then what can we say about the effect, on that deep inner essence of man, which is called the soul?
It is impossible to find peace of mind when the pace of life is so feverishly accelerating. God can't go that fast. He will not make an effort to keep up with you. It's like he's saying, “Go ahead if you have to keep up with this foolish pace, and when you've exhausted your strength, I'll offer you My healing. But I can make your life very fulfilling if you slow down now and begin to live, move and abide in Me.” God moves calmly, slowly and in perfect harmony. The only reasonable pace for life is Divine pace. God ensures that everything is done and done right. He does everything without haste. He does not tear and does not fling. He is calm, and therefore his actions are effective. The same calmness is offered to us: “Peace I leave you, My peace I give you…” (Gospel of John 14:27).
In a sense, this generation is pitiful, especially in the big cities, because it is under the influence of constant nervous tension, artificial excitement and noise. But this disease also penetrates into remote rural areas, as air waves transmit this tension even there.
I was amused by one elderly lady who, when discussing this problem, said: "Life is so everyday." This line very well reflects the pressure, responsibility and stress that everyday life brings us. The constant insistence that life places on us provokes this tension.
One might object: Isn't this generation so accustomed to tension that many feel unhappy because of the discomfort they don't understand, caused by the absence of habitual tension? The deep tranquility of forests and valleys, so well known to our forefathers, is an unusual state for modern people. The pace of their lives is such that in many cases they are unable to find the sources of peace and quiet that the material world offers them.
One summer afternoon, my wife and I went for a long walk in the woods. We stopped at a beautiful mountain lodge by Mohonk Lake, located in one of the most beautiful natural parks in America - 7,500 acres of virgin mountain slopes, between which there is a lake lying in the middle of the forest like a pearl. The word mohonk means "lake in the sky". Many centuries ago, a certain giant lifted this part of the earth, which is why sheer cliffs were formed. From the dark forest you emerge onto a majestic cape, and your eyes rest on vast glades spread between hills studded with stones and ancient as the sun. These forests, mountains and valleys are the place where one should go from the turmoil of this world.
This afternoon, while walking, we watched the summer showers give way to bright sunlight. We were soaked to the skin and began to discuss it excitedly, because it was necessary to wring out our clothes somewhere. And then we agreed that nothing terrible would happen to a person if he got a little wet with clean rainwater that the rain so pleasantly cools and refreshes the face, and that one can sit in the sun and dry off. We walked under the trees and talked, and then fell silent.
We listened, listened to the silence. Frankly, the forests are never quiet. Incredible in scale, but invisible activity is constantly unfolding there, but nature does not make sharp noises, despite the gigantic volume of its labors. Natural sounds are always calm and harmonious.
On this beautiful afternoon, nature laid her hand of healing calm on us, and we felt how the tension was leaving our body.
Just as we were under this spell, we heard the distant sounds of music. It was a fast, nervous variation of jazz. Soon three young men walked past us - two women and a man. The latter carried a portable radio receiver. They were city dwellers who had gone for a walk in the woods and, out of habit, dragged their city noise with them. They were not only young, but also friendly, because they stopped,
and we had a very nice conversation with them. I wanted to ask them to turn off the radio and invite them to listen to the music of the forest, but I knew that I had no right to teach them. In the end, they went their own way.
We talked about how much they lose from this noise, that they can go through this calmness and not hear ancient as the world of harmony and melodies, the likes of which man can never create: the song of the wind in the branches of trees, the sweetest trills of birds pouring out in singing your heart, and inexplicable musical accompaniment all areas in general.
All this can still be found in the countryside, in our forests and endless plains, in our valleys, in the majesty of our mountains, in the noise of foamy waves on the coastal sand. We should take advantage of their healing power. Remember the words of Jesus: “Go alone to a desert place and rest a little” (Gospel of Mark 6:31). Even as I write these words and give you this good advice, I remember times when I needed to remind myself and put into practice the same truth that teaches that we must value tranquility if we want to live our lives happily.
One autumn day, Mrs. Peel and I made a trip to Massachusetts to see our son John, who was then studying at Deerfield Academy. We informed him that we would arrive at exactly 11 am, as we prided ourselves on our good old-fashioned habit of being punctual. Therefore, noticing that we were a little late, we rushed headlong through the autumn landscape. But then the wife said, “Norman, do you see that sparkling mountainside?” "What mountain slope?" I asked. “He was just on the other side,” she explained. “Look at this wonderful tree.” "What other tree?" “I was already a mile away from him. "This is one of the most glorious days like I have ever seen,” said the wife. - Can you imagine such amazing colors as those that color the slopes of New England in October? In fact,” she added, “it makes me happy on the inside.”
This remark made such an impression on me that I stopped the car and turned back to the lake, which was a quarter of a mile away and surrounded by steep hills dressed in autumn dress. We, sitting on the grass, looked at this beauty and thought. God, with the help of His genius and unsurpassed art, painted this scene with various colors that only He alone could create. In the still water of the lake there was a picture worthy of His greatness - a mountain slope of unforgettable beauty was reflected in this pond, as in a mirror. For a while we sat without saying a word, until finally my wife broke the silence with the only appropriate statement in such a situation: “ He leads me to still waters” (Psalm 23:2). We arrived in Deerfield at 11 o'clock in the morning, but did not feel any fatigue. On the contrary, we even seemed to be thoroughly refreshed.
To help reduce this day-to-day tension, which seems to be universally the dominant state of our people, you can start by slowing down your own pace. To do this, you need to slow down, calm down. Don't get annoyed. Don't worry. Try to stay calm. Follow this directive: “…and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding…” (Philippians 4:7). Then notice how a sense of calm strength wells up within you. A friend of mine, who was forced to go on vacation because of the “pressure” he had acquired, wrote me the following: “During this forced vacation, I learned a lot. Now I understand what I did not understand before: in silence we are aware of His presence. Life can become extremely turbulent. But, as Lao Tzu says, let the agitated water calm down and it will become clear».
A doctor gave rather eccentric advice to his patient, an overburdened businessman in the category of active purchasers. He excitedly told the doctor what an incredible amount of work he had to do, and that he should do it immediately, quickly, or else ...
“I also bring home work in a briefcase for the evening,” he said excitedly. “Why do you bring work home every night?” the doctor asked calmly. “I have to do it,” the businessman said irritably. "Couldn't someone else make it or help you deal with it?" the doctor asked. "No," the patient blurted out. - I'm the only one who can do it. It must be done right, and only I can do it right. It must be done quickly. It all depends on me". "If I write you a prescription, will you follow it?" the doctor asked.
Believe it or not, this was the doctor's prescription: the patient had to carve out two hours for a long walk during each working day. Then once a week he had to spend half a day at the cemetery.
The surprised businessman asked, "Why should I spend half a day at the cemetery?" “Because I want you to wander around and look at the tombstones on the graves of people who found eternal rest there. I want you to consider that many of them are there because they reasoned just like you, as if the whole world rested on their shoulders. Consider the serious fact that when you get there permanently, the world will remain the same as before, and other people as important as you will be doing the same work that you are doing now. I advise you to sit on one of the tombstones and repeat the following verse: For a thousand years are before your eyes, like yesterday when it has passed, and like a watch in the night” (Psalm 89:5).
The patient understood this idea. He slowed down his pace. He learned to delegate authority to other, rather authoritative persons. He came to a correct understanding of his own importance. Stopped tearing and throwing. Found peace. And it should be added that he became better at his job. He has developed a better organizational structure and admits that his business is now in better shape than before.
One well-known industrialist suffered greatly from overload. In fact, his mind was tuned to a state of constantly taut nerves. This is how he described his awakening: every morning he jumped out of bed and immediately started up at full speed. He was in such a hurry and excitement that he "made himself a breakfast of soft-boiled eggs just because they skipped faster." This hectic pace tired and exhausted him to the point of exhaustion by the middle of the day. Every evening he fell into bed completely broken.
It so happened that his house was located in a small grove. Early one morning, unable to sleep, he got up and sat by the window. And then he began to observe with interest the newly awakened bird. He noticed that the bird was sleeping with its head under its wing, tightly covered with feathers. Waking up, she stuck out her beak from under the feathers, looked around her eyes, still clouded from sleep, stretched out one paw to its full length, at the same time stretching the wing along it, opening it in the form of a fan. Then she retracted her paw and folded her wing and repeated the same procedure with the other paw and wing, after which she again hid her head in feathers to take a little more sweet nap, and again stuck her head out. This time the bird looked around intently, turning its head back, stretched twice more, then uttered a trill - a touching, delightful song in praise of a new day - after which it flew down from the branch, took a sip of cold water and went in search of food.
My nervous friend said to himself, “If this method of awakening works for birds, slow and easy, then why shouldn’t it work for me too?”
And he actually did the same performance, including singing, and noticed that the song had a particularly beneficial effect, since it served as a kind of relief.
“I can't sing,” he grinned, remembering, “but I practiced: I sat quietly in a chair and sang. Mostly I sang hymns and funny songs. Just imagine - I sing! But I did it. My wife thought I was crazy. The only thing in which my program differed from the bird’s one was that I also prayed, and then, like a bird, I began to feel that it would not hurt me to refresh myself, or rather, to eat a solid breakfast - scrambled eggs with ham. And I spent my time on this. Then, with a peaceful mind, I went to work. All this really contributed to an effective start to the day, without any tension, and helped to work out the day in a calm and relaxed state.
A former member of the university's champion rowing team told me that their team's coach, a very perceptive man, often reminded them: To win this or any other competition, row slowly ". He pointed out that hasty rowing, as a rule, knocks down the stroke of the oar, and if this happens, then it is very difficult for the team to restore the rhythm necessary for victory. Meanwhile, other teams bypass the unlucky group. This is truly wise advice. "To swim fast, row slowly".
In order to row slowly or work slowly and maintain a constant pace that leads to victory, the victim of high speed will do the right thing if he coordinates his actions with the calmness of God in his own mind, soul, and, it would not hurt to add, also in nerves and muscles.
Have you ever thought about the importance of having Divine peace in your muscles and joints? Perhaps your joints would not hurt so much if there was Divine calmness in them. Your muscles will work in an interconnected way if their action is controlled by the Divine creative force. Every day, say to your muscles, joints, and nerves, “…not in your wrath…” (Psalm 37:2). Relax on the couch or on the bed, think of each vital muscle, from the head to the toes, and say to each of them: "Divine peace descends upon you." Then learn to feel the calm flowing through your entire body. In due time, your muscles and joints will come into full order.
Take your time, because what you really want will be there in due time if you work in this direction without stress and fuss. But if, by continuing to follow Divine guidance and His smooth and unhurried pace, you do not get the desired result, then, presumably, it should not be. If you missed it, then maybe it's for the best. So try to develop a normal, natural, God-determined pace. Develop and maintain mental calmness. Learn the art of getting rid of all nervous excitement. To do this, stop your activities from time to time and affirm: “Now I am releasing nervous excitement out - it flows out of me. I'm calm". Don't tear. Don't dream. Develop calmness.
In order to achieve this state of being productive for life, I recommend developing a calm mindset. Every day we carry out necessary procedures related to taking care of our body: we take a shower or bath, brush our teeth, do morning exercises. Likewise, we should devote some time and some effort to keeping our minds healthy. Here is one way to achieve this: sit in a quiet place and run a series of calming thoughts through your mind. For example, some memory of a once seen majestic mountain or valley, over which fog rises, of a river sparkling in the sun, where trout splashes, or a silvery reflection of moonlight on the surface of the water.
At least once a day, preferably during the busiest time of the day, deliberately stop all activities for ten to fifteen minutes and practice a state of serenity.
There are times when it is necessary to resolutely check our unbridled pace, and I must emphasize that the only way to stop is to stop and stop.
Once I went to one of the cities to give a lecture, which was agreed in advance, and at the train I was met by representatives of some committee. I was promptly dragged to a bookstore where I was forced to sign autographs. Then, just as quickly, I was dragged to a light breakfast arranged in my honor, after I swallowed this breakfast with great speed, I was picked up and taken to the meeting. After the meeting, I was wheeled back at the same speed to the hotel, where I changed, and was then hurried to a reception, where I was greeted by several hundred people and drank three glasses of punch. I was then rushed back to the hotel and told that I had twenty minutes to change for dinner. As I was changing my clothes, the phone rang and someone said, "Hurry up, please, we have to rush to lunch." I excitedly replied, "I'm already running."
I rushed out of the room, so excited that I could barely get the key into the keyhole. Hurriedly feeling myself to make sure I was fully dressed, I rushed to the elevator. And then he stopped. I caught my breath. I asked myself: “What is all this for? What's the point of this never ending race? It's funny, after all!"
And then I declared my independence and said: “I don’t care if I get to dinner or not. I don't care if I make a speech or not. I don't have to go to this dinner and I don't have to give a speech." After that, I consciously slowly returned to my room and slowly unlocked the door. Then he called the escort who was waiting downstairs and said: “If you want to eat, go ahead. If you want to take a seat for me, then after a while I will go down, but I do not intend to rush anywhere else.
So I sat and rested and prayed for fifteen minutes. I will never forget the sense of peace and contentment that I felt when I left the room. I seemed to have heroically overcome something, took control of my emotions, and when I arrived for dinner, the invitees had just finished the first course. I only missed the soup, what, by general conclusion, was not such a big loss.
This incident made it possible to be convinced of the amazing effect of the healing Divine presence. I acquired these values in a very simple way - I stopped, quietly read the Bible, prayed sincerely, and filled my mind with soothing thoughts for a few minutes.
Doctors generally believe that most physical ailments could be avoided or overcome by constantly practicing the philosophical attitude - no need to tear and throw.
A prominent New Yorker once told me that his doctor advised him to come to our church clinic. “Because,” he said, “you need to develop a philosophical lifestyle. Your energy resources have run out."
“My doctor says I am pushing myself to the limit. He says that I'm too tense, too tight, that I'm too ripping and slashing. He declares that the only treatment suitable for me is the development of what he calls a philosophical way of life.
My visitor stood up and began pacing excitedly up and down the room, then asked, “But how the hell can I work this out? Easy to say, hard to do."
Then this excited gentleman continued his story. His doctor gave him specific guidelines for developing this quiet, philosophical lifestyle. The recommendations turned out to be really wise. “But then,” the patient explained, “the doctor suggested that I see your people here at the church, because he thinks that if I learn to use religious faith in practice, it will give my mind peace and reduce blood pressure, after which will make me feel better physically. And although I admit that my doctor's prescription makes sense, he concluded plaintively, "but how can a fifty-year-old man, such an overwrought nature as I, suddenly change the habits that he has acquired throughout his life, and develop this so-called philosophical image life?"
Indeed, this seemed like a difficult problem, since this man was a solid bundle of nerves that were overexcited to the limit. He tossed about the room, pounded the table with his fist, spoke in a loud, excited voice, and gave the impression of an extremely anxious, bewildered person. Obviously, his affairs were in a very bad state, but in parallel with this, his inner state was also revealed. The picture obtained in this way gave us a chance to help him because we were able to better understand his essence.
As I listened to his words and observed his position, I understood anew why Jesus Christ has consistently maintained his amazing influence over people. Because He had an answer to problems like this, and I verified that fact by suddenly changing the subject of our conversation. Without any opening remarks I began to quote some places from the Bible, for example: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). And again: “Peace I leave you, My peace I give you: not as the world gives, I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (Gospel of John 14:27). And again: “You keep a firm spirit in perfect peace, for he trusts in you” (Book of the Prophet Isaiah 26:3).
I quoted these words quietly, slowly, thoughtfully. As soon as I stopped talking, I immediately noticed that the excitement of my visitor subsided. Calm settled over him, and we both sat in silence for a while. It seemed like we were sitting like this for a few minutes, maybe less, but then he took a deep breath and said, “It's funny, but I feel much better. Isn't that strange? I think those words did it." “No, not only the words,” I answered, “although they certainly had a significant effect on your mind, but something incomprehensible that happened after that. A moment ago He touched you - the Healer - with His healing touch. He was in this room."
My visitor did not show any surprise at this statement, but readily and impetuously agreed - and conviction was written on his face. “That's right, He was definitely here. I felt Him. I understand what you meant. Now I know that Jesus Christ will help me develop a philosophical way of life.”
This man found something that discovers everything more people at the present time: simple faith and the use of the principles and methods of Christianity give peace and rest, and therefore new strength to the body, mind and spirit. It is the perfect antidote for those who vomit and rage. It helps a person to find peace and thus open up new resources of strength.
Of course, it was necessary to teach this person a new way of thinking and behavior. This was done in part with the help of relevant literature written by experts in the field of spiritual culture. For example, we gave him lessons in church attendance. We showed him that you can take the church service as a kind of therapy. We instructed him in the scientific use of prayer and relaxation. And in the end, as a result of this practice, he became a healthy person. Anyone who wants to follow this program and sincerely apply these principles day in and day out, I am sure, will be able to develop inner peace and strength. Many of these methods are presented in this book.
The control of emotions in the daily practice of healing methods is a factor of paramount importance. Control over emotions cannot be achieved by a wave magic wand or some easy way. You can't work it out just by reading a book, although that often helps. The only guaranteed method is regular, persistent, scientifically based work in this direction and the development of creative faith.
I advise you to start with such a thorough and simple procedure as the regular practice of being in physical rest. Do not step from corner to corner. Don't wring your hands. Do not pound the table with your fists, do not shout, do not quarrel. Don't let yourself work to the point of exhaustion. At nervous excitement the person's physical movements become convulsive. Therefore, start with the simplest, stopping all physical movement. Stand still for a while, or sit or lie down. And, it goes without saying, only speak in the lowest tones.
When developing control over your condition, it is necessary to think about silence, because the body is very sensitive and responds to the way of thinking that prevails over the mind. Indeed, the mind can be calmed by calming the body first. In other words, the physical state can bring about the desired mental attitude.
Once in my speech I touched on the following incident, which occurred at a meeting of some committee, where I was then present. One gentleman who heard me tell this story was deeply impressed by it, and he took this truth to heart. He tried the suggested methods and then reported that they were very effective in getting his throwing and throwing habit under control.
Once I was present at a meeting where the heated discussion turned rather bitter towards the end. Passions flared up, and some of the participants were almost on the verge of collapse. Sharp retorts followed. And suddenly one man got up, slowly took off his jacket, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and lay down on the couch. Everyone was in amazement, and someone even asked if he was ill.
"No," he said, "I feel great, but I'm starting to lose my temper, and I know from experience that it's hard to lose my temper while lying down."
We all laughed and the tension eased. Then our eccentric friend went into further explanation and told how he learned to do "one little trick" with himself. He had an unbalanced character, and when he felt himself losing his temper and began to clench his fists and raise his voice, he immediately slowly spread his fingers, not allowing them to clench into a fist again. He did the same with his voice: when tension increased or anger grew, he deliberately suppressed the sound of his voice and switched to a whisper. “After all, it is absolutely impossible to argue in a whisper,” he said with a laugh.
This principle can be effective in controlling emotional arousal, irritation, and tension, as many have seen in the course of such experiments. Therefore, the initial step in achieving a calm state is to work out your physical reactions. You will be surprised at how quickly this cools the heat of your emotions, and when this heat subsides, you will no longer have any desire to tear and throw. You have no idea how much energy and effort you will save. And how much less tired you will be. In addition, this is a very suitable procedure for developing phlegm, indifference and even indifference. Don't be afraid to try to build inertia. With such skills, people are less likely to experience emotional breakdowns. Highly organized individuals will benefit from such an ability to switch their reactions. But it is quite natural that a person of this type does not want to lose such qualities as sensitivity and responsiveness. However, having developed a certain degree of phlegm, a harmonious personality acquires only a more balanced emotional position.
What follows is a six-step method that I personally find extremely helpful for those who want to break the habit of throwing and tearing. I have recommended this method to so many people who have found it extremely helpful.

Calmness, only calmness... But how to remain calm if everything is bubbling inside, unspoken words, accumulated tension and threatens to spill over into the immediate environment? Familiar situation? But everyone wants to remain self-confident, calm and in control of their own behavior - this is strength, this is self-satisfaction, this is the health of the body and strong nerves.
What to do to relieve tension and not feel like a barrel of gunpowder, for which there are a lot of sparks? Consider common recommendations and techniques that will provide the basis for creating a calm internal atmosphere.
Settle for calmness and peace of mind
The first thing that comes to mind is relaxation, meditation and prayer for those who have faith in their souls. Relaxing regular practice helps to restore peace of mind and inner harmony in a short time. And here the main mistake occurs: a person satisfied with the result of meditating techniques stops classes, and everything returns to normal. The same nervousness and the same anxiety in a matter of days drags the soul and body into heavy chains.
Each person chooses the method of relaxation that suits him, performing a kind of ritual:
believers read prayers, turning over the rosary;
sports people run skiing in winter, and in summer in parks, sand or mountain paths;
a walk before going to bed or meeting the dawn, communication with animals, crop production, fishing or hunting;
needlework, game musical instruments, creation;
give the opportunity to feel yourself, hear yourself, find a state of harmony in yourself and your place in the world around you.
The main rule: the way of relaxation is individual, and the habit of giving yourself a rest should be as daily as brushing your teeth or walking the dog - by the way, walking the dog is also an option.
What is the principle of peace?
The balance of the soul, health and thoughts of a person is the basis of his calmness. Emotions not included in this list can shake any "cold" head. However, this does not mean at all that you need to be a cracker or a rusty nail in which not a shadow of the living remains - emotions of any sign, both positive and negative, decorate life, making it brighter, more interesting, more exciting. The question is how expensive emotions are for a particular person: did you feel the situation and let it go or does it continue to be feverish for a day, two, a week? Thoughts in my head are spinning and spinning, not letting me think about anything else, insomnia and fatigue, growing psychosis are the signs.
Maintaining balance is not easy, but it is possible. We offer several rules on how not to succumb to the provocations of the outside world and remain true to yourself, while maintaining an internal source of confidence:
Calm is not synonymous with sleepiness! Drowsiness is apathy and unwillingness to act, which over time threatens to develop into and detachment from life problems that have nothing to do with the inner harmony of a person.
In a state of nervousness, concentrate on the ability to see the situation or the life picture as a whole, without detailing - this will allow you not to spray and cycle on unpleasant little things that pull the balance on yourself.
3. Don't expect peace from outside: the world dynamic and does not stand still for a single second - it is ridiculous to expect some kind of stability from him. Life brings different surprises: it's good if they turn out to be exciting, but pleasant, but what if the surprise is not so good? Breathe in, breathe out, and say to yourself, “I can handle this!” - of course you can do it! if only simply because circumstances sometimes do not give other options.
4. The rule that people know about, but do not use: look for pluses in everything. Got fired? – more attention to the family and a chance to find yourself in a different direction. ? - there is no snoring, scandals, there is order in the house, silence and exceptional enjoyment of peace. Do children study poorly? - received Nobel Prize Einstein was kicked out of school altogether. Over time, this habit will become stronger and work automatically: before you have time to think, the positive aspects of what is happening are already right there!
5. People are worried about: their own, loved ones, friends, colleagues ... We must learn to take it for granted: life is such that no one will remain in it forever - everyone is mortal, and everyone’s turn will come in due time. Of course, I would like it later, but it’s written to someone like it was written - it won’t hurt to be a little fatalist with faith in fate.
6. It is not worth pushing events and people around us: exhaustion with work and life's speed is the main trouble of our century. Exceptional faith in such a necessary resistance to everyone and everything can and is impressive - “You are so strong (strong), no circumstances will break you!”, But the harm from this is much more than good.
Sometimes you need to let go of circumstances: perhaps some other factor or an unexpected turn will arise that will radically change the perception of the situation.
Place of calm
This is not about the cemetery - although yes, let's be honest: the most peaceful place on the planet. But while the heart is beating hot in the chest, it is worth taking care of a corner of personal solitude. A treasured place in which there are no phone calls, a TV with frightening news, sucking the Internet into its bottomless womb - half an hour on a balcony or on a park bench will help put your thoughts and feelings in order, curb overwhelmed emotions.
Do not ignore your favorite pastime: no matter what happens in this turbulent world, you can set aside half an hour or an hour for a hobby a day. Knitting, embroidery, modeling, modeling, drawing - anything, if only in these moments you were comfortable, calm and turned off your brains from existing problems. The place of employment is also important in this case: if the children urgently needed help with their homework, the cat needed canned food from the refrigerator, a friend remembered that you had not yet dissuaded the required two hours on the phone today, and the husband slams lids on empty pans - the idea is to spend half an hour in his pleasure failed miserably. Solution? To feed all the hungry, to conduct strict briefings with relatives, and to turn off the phones - any person has the right to a few personal minutes of doing what they love.
Huge malls are no place to relax. Bright light, oppressive concrete, glass and crowds of people - there can be no talk of any comfort and solitude. Have you often noticed fatigue after hypermarkets and boutique trips? - here it is, the signal of the body about a serious loss of vitality. Forest, river, swimming in the pool, in the nearest park - the healing effect of nature will give a feeling of influx of strength, energy, allowing you to fully relax both your soul and body.
Learn to gradually relax and manage peace of mind, remembering at the same time: you should not fight with life - you have to live and enjoy life!

If you feel that you have begun to experience inexplicable anxiety, quarrel for no reason with family and friends, often raise your voice to others, then you are clearly not in order. This means you need to find free time, at least one day, in order to relax and bring yourself back to normal. Even in the case of serious troubles, you can always find a way to move away from them for a while. After all, ignoring the state of your inner world, you risk getting health problems, and also alienate people who love you, but cannot understand such a state.
Put all your affairs and worries aside, take a day off, send your husband (wife) to visit relatives, turn off your phone, forget about all sources of information. Stay alone with yourself and spend this day in, so that nothing interferes with the absolute peace around you. Get a good night's sleep, then take a bath with some relaxing, aromatic oil or bubble bath. Next, listen to soothing music or, for example, recordings such as the sounds of nature, the sea, etc. You can treat yourself to something. These small joys will make you almost new, able to enjoy life again.
After the rest, you will gain strength and be able to spend the evening with your loved ones. Visit a place with which you have fond memories. Pleasant company and environment will help your soul to calm down.
If possible, take a vacation. For example, to the sea. Water will remove, and a change of scenery and activities will make it possible to achieve inner harmony. Perhaps you will look at those problems that once seemed insoluble, with different eyes. Understand that peace of mind is necessary for a calm, measured life.

successful person can be determined not only by his achievements, but also by the internal state of satisfaction. It often manifests itself in life in the form of high spirits and enthusiasm. When you look at such a person, you can immediately tell that he is in his place. That's just not everyone can find this place and it's not always possible on the first try.
What does it mean to be in the right place
To the question of "one's place in life", one can give several answers. For someone to be in the right place successfully make a career or take place in a professional sense. It is enough for another person to find a hobby to their liking, which will allow them to fully realize their inner creative potential. Still others consider themselves in their place when they are surrounded by like-minded people.
Regardless of the individual meaning of this concept, finding your place means being in a comfort zone. In such an environment, a person feels confident, has no doubts and does not waste time looking for his destiny. Being in his place, a person experiences satisfaction, peace and tranquility. Even the inevitable minor troubles, without which it is difficult to do in life, are not able to bring such a person out of a state of peace of mind.
Finding your place in life
Almost every person, with rare exceptions, builds his life by trial and error. It is not so often to meet those who already at a young age realized their destiny, chose their professional path and the scope of their natural talents. To make the search for the optimal life path as short as possible, it makes sense to engage in introspection.
A kind of inventory of your abilities and interests will help you find your own place in life. In order to get into your destiny and feel yourself in your place, it is important that the business that a person chooses as the main one is in agreement with internal settings and human preferences. If you choose a niche for yourself in which you are not interested, you can feel "out of your element" for the rest of your days.
It is best if, in the process of searching for a profession, a person finds a business for himself that arouses his sincere interest. To achieve professional success, you have to give yourself to work entirely, without a trace. It will be very difficult to maintain the necessary motivation if the business you are doing does not cause you to. In this sense, finding your place means finding a job that you will do with passion.
For those who are still in search of their place in life and in thought, we can recommend a very strong psychological move. It consists in the conscious expansion of the usual comfort zone. To do this, it can be enough to visit places where you have not been before, do a business that you consider too much for yourself, meet new people, or even completely change your environment.
Going beyond the former zone of life comfort, a person expands his capabilities and often comes across the most unexpected areas of application of his abilities. At first, going beyond the usual can cause self-doubt and temporary discomfort. But for many people, this decision becomes effective way get to know yourself better and realize your full potential.
peace v soul- what it is? This is a harmonious view of the world, calmness and self-confidence, the ability to rejoice and forgive, to cope with difficult situations. Inner harmony is not so common in today's world, where everyone has a busy schedule of tasks and responsibilities, so there is simply not enough time to stop and watch the sunset. Buy at soul peace is possible. Psychologists give some advice on this matter.
Instruction
peace and harmony are impossible without joy and in the heart. Don't be afraid to give your time and share your soul positive energy, treat people positively. If you expect from others good deeds, to see the best in people and treat them with all your heart, you will find that there are a lot of wonderful people around you. By treating people positively and kindly, you will notice that they reciprocate. When you're okay with other people, it's good foundation for inner balance.
Treat problems not as troubles that have fallen on your head inappropriately, but as tasks that need to be completed. Many rush to blame colleagues, acquaintances and relatives for their problems, they are ready to reveal all the secrets of their lives to a fellow traveler on the train, complaining about life all the way, but they do not ask themselves what is the true reason. And it very often lies in the very! Try to understand if there is something that hinders you, in yourself? Sometimes, in order to find harmony, you need to change. Do not blame yourself, but work on yourself.
Forgive others. Everyone makes mistakes. If there are people whom you cannot forgive, you cannot forget to them what they have done to you - soul you won't get much peace. Justice is a category of law, and even there it is not always achieved, and a person judges “by mercy”, so goodbye. Moreover, forgiveness should be given not only to others, but also to yourself! This is very important, because many cannot forgive themselves for any mistake, blaming themselves for all the failures.
Rejoice. Life is made up of this, and not at all of serious and big events. If there is an opportunity to do some small thing that will please your loved ones - do not miss the opportunity to do it. Such things at first glance seem insignificant, but they allow you to achieve a permanent good mood, and from this to soul peace of mind - one step.
When planning something, say to yourself not “I have to do this”, but “I want to do this”. After all, most of the things that you “should” are actually your planned and desired things that you really want to do. For example, not feeling like going to the store for flour right now, you still conceived it in order to bake something tasty and please your family. That is, in reality, you do not have to go shopping, but want to do it to achieve your goal.

I consider myself a fairly calm and balanced person, but sometimes situations arise in life when it is necessary to do everything "now and immediately." And for some reason it doesn't work out. The transport did not arrive on time, there were traffic jams on the road, some questions with documents ... And what is interesting, if you do not maintain a state of calm and internal balance, then everything rolls like a bun from a fairy tale "somersault". And if you manage to keep complete calm and remain in a state of "observer", all issues are resolved in the most wonderful and unexpected way.
The fact is that peace is our natural state, and is always available to us at any given time. A part of your consciousness is always in a state of complete calmness. It is like a pearl inside you, which constantly shines, and its light fills everything around with peace. But the box containing the pearl sometimes "slams" unexpectedly. And you are no more feel this light, although the pearl still shines. You just need to learn to remember the pearl and deftlylift the lid of the box.
And when we are in a relaxed and calm state that is natural for us, the world also shows us a picture where everything happens harmoniously and naturally.
How, in any situation, quickly and effectively restore a state of balance? I offer several proven and effective practices that can be applied in any place and situation without much embarrassing people around you.
Long and deep breathing
It is well known that if a person is in an excited state, breathing quickens. The feedback also works, breathing directly affects the parasympathetic and sympathetic unequal systems. This means that if we slow down our breathing, we affect the parasympathetic nervous system, then what? That's right, we calm down.
In addition, care must be taken to ensure that the breath is "full". At the same time, both the stomach and the lungs should work on inhalation and exhalation. Let's try. When we inhale, our stomach is the first to inflate, then the chest goes, it "opens", the shoulders go back a little, I present to the gaze of a confident and calm person, and in addition, the upper ribs and collarbones slightly rise. Exhale in reverse order: upper chest, middle and abdomen. Not difficult at all, right? Pay attention to the fact that the exhalation is longer than the inhalation.
If your leader’s car was hit in the parking lot in the morning, and at this point in time he furiously tells you that your work efficiency wants the best, you calmly shift your attention to breathing, and take 3-5 deep long breaths and exhalations ... And calmly give an intelligible answer, conveying a state of calm and confidence to your superiors as well.
