During the Second World War, a slogan was launched that helped citizens to move on with their lives, despite the hostilities: KEEP CALM and CARRY ON. It comprises two affirmations with different intentions and an incredible effect.
At times of
crisis – and that is what we are living – that slogan would be probably very
useful, after all calmness has a deep effect on the self by enabling the person
to clear their minds and understand what is going on. Maybe a solution is not
at hand, but with comprehension, the person can plan, adapt and live better.
Particularly
if the crisis is very strong and it turns into chaos, it is possible there is
no solution. During chaotic times, the only possibility someone has is to be
their own leader, to trust their own capacities and to create a team with
whoever is around. Again, calmness plays a definite part, relieving much of the
stress and anxiety, empowering. Besides, who wants to be part of a team of
people who are not calm, particularly during turmoil?
But, as you
are reading this, I am almost sure you are not there yet and the crisis we are
all living is not to be labeled chaos.
So, this is the training time and you can do a few things:
- Experience silence several times during the day.
- Meditate or contemplate.
- At the beginning of the day, dedicate some time for the self and experience deep calmness.
- At the end of the day, make sure you pack everything up, by putting a full stop to all that happened.
- If you have problems with someone, try and fix the bond between you.
- Be kind to yourself and others.
- Walk in the nature.
- Listen to soft positive music.
- Avoid bad news, without evading responsibility.
- Just be yourself and give space so that others can be themselves too.
- Keep calm, carry on.
