Creating a phrase

Staying peaceful is a challenge, especially in the midst of a busy day.  Through coaching, tips from friends and family, and reading, one can cultivate methods to keep calm. Devising strategies, planning ahead, and speaking regularly with your coach are good ways to ensure your continual progress and success. Sometimes situations cause upset to calm no matter how proactive and in balance you are. Are you prepared for those times?

Reviewing past reactions demonstrate how you respond during trying times. Using new language, quips or comebacks might help. Or, creating a meaningful phrase that immediately causes a shift back to balance; Like a mantra-or a saying.

Schedule some time this week to 'create your phrase for peace.'  Discover that mantra or saying that gives you pause and helps you recognize your out of balance and need a shift. It can be anything, "I'm okay," "I can do this," "I am in charge,"  "Om," "The world is on my side as long as I am true to myself."  Use whatever relieves you and helps you regain calm.

Sharing phrases that work for you can be helpful too. Please share, in the comments, any phrase that keeps you calm and in balance.  Your wisdom may give someone a peaceful day.
