How to calm down
It made me
calm
 "Taking life as it goes is exponentially better than being a spaz."
How I did it: I read a book, called ScreamFree Parenting, and it helped me realize that my actions were causing strife and familial upset. I made calming myself and thinking before I spouted off a personal goal. I no longer convey to my kids that they are too much for me. How frightening it must be for a child to think that their parents can't handle them? Lessons & tips: Think about how you appear to a small child, are you a vision of calm authority, or a screaming nutcase? How do you want your kids to see you? Resources: ScreamFree Parenting is a GREAT eye opening book.

How I did it: I'm not sure how I did it. I can't remember now, but I know something just occurred to me one night and bam, I did it. I was calmer.

i was doing SO well. i felt like i finally had ME under control. i was so much more relaxed. and then this week came along. i just want to curl up in a ball and cry from stress. i just need to get to the weekend and my life will be better again. i can’t even take time to relax because i have so much work to do. i shouldn’t even be here on 43things because that is even LESS time i have to actually be studying/writing papers/practicing for my 2 presentations. and to relax i usually work out but there isn’t even time for that. uggggh.

I think I’m calm when things are crazy, but I over-analyze little things. I think too much about small comments, and read too much into how people are acting. I just need to take it as it comes. Breathe more. That is the first step I think. Just taking a breath.

I am still impatient… I still get antsy when I am ready to leave and my husband is being pokey. But I am getting better. I think. I guess you would have to ask him!

It may take the rest of my life. This will most likely be a constant battle. But for what I meant it to be for, I think I’ve almost reached this goal. I won’t say I’ve done it yet, but only because there’s still a bit of time left. Something else needs to happen before I can say I’ve calmed down where it was needed.

I realised today at work what an advantage it is to remain calm when others are losing their head. From now on I am really going to concentrate on remaining clam in the workplace so that I can be advantaged in overcoming problems.

Whew! Last night I was worried sick about someone’s response to my email to them. I was tying it into our entire relationship, and putting it all on this response. Trying to realize that people are more forgiving in relationships than they seem to be.
My lack of tranquility comes from a desire to always improve upon things. I didn’t really notice how it was having its effect on me until I saw a coworker who had it even worse than me. As we were sweeping the floor, the two of us are very task-oriented and focused on doing a good job, instead of relaxing and talking more to people, customers and co-workers alike. I derive a little bit of serenity from zeroing in on the sweeping, but she was being very anal-retentive about it. It was revealing, to get a chance to “see myself” and how that was affecting my demeanor. Maybe this experience will help me back up and relax.
