This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of staying calm and present (today and every day).
Comment from Marie: It's so amazing what our state of mind can do. When we allow ourselves to get all frazzled and upset about something, it's as if our world goes into a spin. On the other hand, when we stay "cool, calm, and collected" things seem to slow down and our life becomes more peaceful and less stressful.
InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:
When I stay calm and present, the crisis changes
from overwhelmingly stressful to simply challenging.
Today's inspiration was written by Alex Scrimgeour:
Being mindful of the present moment is at the crux of a great majority of stress-management techniques.
One reason for this is that the ability to finely focus our attention literally rewires our brain.
So, when we can stay calm and present in each passing moment, even amid an unfolding crisis, this will re-pattern our brain and neurochemistry in real time so that our relationship with the crisis changes from being overwhelmingly stressful to simply challenging.
