Calm Yourself!
We help ourselves best when we are calm. And we help others best when we are calm, also.
So it makes sense, does it not, to inject a little calm into our lives? As often and as much as we can?
I was recently given a copy of Paul Wilson's Little Book of Calm which, according to the cover, has sold more than 3 million copies. Now that's a lot to stay calm about!
The idea is that whenever you feel you may not be calm, or you are in need of it, you just flick the book open and consider the 'secret' revealed on that page.
Just to give you an idea, here's the reading for now:
On the left - Make an appointment with yourself to deal with worries at a specific time in the future. The more seriously you treat that appointment, the more efficiently you'll deal with the problem.
And on the right - Employ Your Subcoscious. Your subconscious specialises in finding solutions to your most personal problems. Place your faith in it, and give your conscious mind a rest.
Just the act of pausing to choose is calming in itself. Try it!
