”the quality of being free from agitation or strong emotion”
All day I’ve had the song “Silent Night” playing over and over in my head, even before today’s value word was randomly chosen. It’s my favorite Christmas carol…it’s the most calming of all of them.
With the current state of my health (stress, anxiety, blood pressure/cholesterol issues), now more than ever I need to do what I can to attain this state. Actually, the whole world could benefit from calmness.
For a while there I had been setting my watch timer to go off every 20 minutes as a reminder to breathe and that was helping. Not sure why I stopped…doesn’t matter…I just reset my timer.
Actually, what I need to do is dig deeper to uncover and heal the source of my chronic anxiety. I’ve been following the @TheAnxietyMD (Russell Kennedy, MD) on IG and his podcast (The Anxiety RX). Now would be a good time to implement what I’ve learned from him.
How about you? Do you value calmness?
joyfully,

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day
Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.
