Notes #3
Developing Calmness

 Calmness means having composure and serenity in the midst of obstacles or severe stress. It is demonstrating
“grace under pressure”. Calmness is achieved with having a firm understanding of one’s self. This brings about a
quiet but strong confidence that results in calmness.
 Calmness described as inner peace or peace of mind, is synonymous to tranquility.
 Anger, anxiety, excitement, frustration, and fear are some of the threats to calmness.
 Anger and anxiety are what we feed when we are disappointed or when faced with trials and difficulties or
something extremely annoying.
 When we are angry, we sometimes say and do things that we later regret. When things do not happen according to
our plans and expectations, we need to keep calm and think things through because the decisions we make when
we are angry are often the wrong ones.
 Calmness helps us maintain good relationships. It is also a trait that people look for in a leader.

Here are few ways by which you can manage your anger with calmness.
1. Pray to God and ask for calmness and guidance. Lift up your concerns to Him.
2. Count from 1 to 20 before speaking again.
3. Retreat or go away from the situation for a few minutes. Breathe in some fresh air.
4. Find something to eat and relax.
5. Excuse yourself and walk around for few minutes. Movement and physical activity reduce anger.
6. Think of something that makes you happy or gives you joy.
7. Think of a beautiful and calm place and picture it clearly in your mind. Think about the smallest details of
whatever surrounds you.
8. Keep still and empty your mind for a few moments.
9. Tell yourself to relax and hold back from reacting.
10. Read an inspirational story. Better yet, read the Bible.
