Practical Tips On Staying Calm

I empathize with those of you who have been greatly affected by the coronavirus.

One of the main things you can focus on is to remain calm during this storm.

This storm will pass!

We will defeat this thing as we unite and stand together.

Remember what you see, hear, and say greatly impacts how your brain thinks and how you behave.

Science has proven when the brain is fed positive energy like feeling happy or optimistic cortisol decreases and the brain releases serotonin-producing a sense of peace.

Dopamine is also a brain transmitter that helps to govern your brain's pleasure and reward system center.

Here are some practical tips on how to remain calm during this time.

Speak Positive Affirmations Daily & As Often As Needed

• I will not walk in fear.
• This too shall pass.
• It is well.

Limit The Amount Of News You Watch & Hear

• Fear grows by watching and listening to negativity.
• Peace grows by activating and feeding off of positive energy.

How many can remember the post I previously wrote about encouraging one another?

Listen To Soft Music Often

Remember what you hear greatly affects your brain, how you think and act.

Watch Pictures About Nature

Nature scenes are often calm and serene.

Laugh

King Solomon said '' A merry heart is good like a medicine.''

As you begin to laugh your brain releases endorphins, the brains I feel good control center.

Smile

Smiling releases more than 90 neuropeptides-which are nerve proteins that control just about all of your body's cells and the way they talk to each other.

Neuropeptides greatly affect your behavior, body, and brain in changing your moods from negative to positive, food ingestion, reward system, how you act, sleep, stress reduction, and your memory.

Avoid Arguments & Unnecessary Drama At All Costs

Expressing too much anger increases stress and can cause heart problems.

Many people suffer from heart attacks, and strokes because of holding grudges against another person.

Note when you hold on to anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness you're only hurting yourself.

Never give someone else this type of power over you, it's just not worth it.

So there you have it.
