“One of the best lessons
you can learn in life
is to master
how to remain calm”
How true are these words!
Our blood pressure would be better off
for one thing.
Staying Calm
in any and every situation
is a “Skill”
that any one of us
can Learn.
And like all skills,
it takes time to be
that skillful.
We know what “Calm” means:
the absence of strong emotions
not showing or feeling nervousness, anger,
or other strong emotions.
“She had to keep calm at all costs”.
How about you and I?
When we are feeling under pressure,
there are a few ‘tips’
to keep in mind
which will help us to
Stay Calm.
BREATHE
by taking a few slow, deep breaths.
COUNT TO 10,
things may feel a little different
by the time you get to number 10.
TAKE A WALK
or walk away.
Before any ‘situation’ starts to get to us,
we can start
to ‘practice’
Meditation
today,
if only for 5 minutes
every day.
Being grateful
for what we have in life
will put us
‘in the right frame of mind’.
And if all else fails —
just walk away,
because
our Mental Health is far more Important
than ‘proving anyone right’.
Staying Calm
as much as we can
will have such a Positive influence
on our lives,
physically,
emotionally and
mentally.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Broken Glass
Of all the students Mr. Benedick expected to see in his office, he did not expect the boy who was sitting there. What grade was this one, he thought? He walked over to his desk, looked at the folder Ms. Diner had left out for him, and opened it. There was a photo inside of it, taken from last year’s picture day. Not much growth; not too different. The boy sitting in front of him had nothing strange or unusual in his file, if a child’s life defined by having “nothing disruptive or regretful” in it could be called fine. Mr. Benedick also realized that “life” was an anagram of “file,” and wondered where that thought came from as he stared at the boy in front of him. Benny Duncan. Grade Four. Beloved by all his teachers so far. He had seen the boy playing with the other boys his age in the school yard at recess. Four Square and foot hockey. A normal-looking kid. A normal kid… And here he was, after a very stupid moment with the fire alarm and a shoe.
