Inner Calm For Internal Peace

<p><b>Inner Calm For Internal peace</b></p> <p> What if someone told you that you could control your brain? </p> <p>Well, the good news is you can. All you need is some practice and a bit of knowledge. Neuroscience isn’t rocket science, and it’s a skill that can be learned with time, practice, and patience. Ready to learn how to be calm under pressure?</p> <p><b>1. Understand “Fight or Flight.”</b></p> <p>You can thank your school teachers for beating this one into your head. If you need a little recap, “fight or flight” describes how the body reacts in stressful or threatening situations.</p> <p>To put it simply, you either decide to flee the scene (flight) or take action (fight). This explains why you react in a certain way to survive on a subconscious level. However, “fight or flight” is irrelevant in many scenarios in our modern world. </p> <p>Yet, our brain senses danger when we experience things outside what is “typical.” For example, if you feel your body tensing up, a by-product is the stress hormone cortisol, which can do more harm than good. </p> <p>The next time you think you’re experiencing this action, ask yourself, “Is this real or a life and death situation? </p> <p>Or should I calm down and realise it will be okay?” </p> <p><b>2. Call out your Emotions </b></p> <p>Detaching from your emotions is prescribed by many meditation experts and leaders who have mastered the art of staying calm. We’re only human, so we’re inevitably going to experience the whole gamut of sensations. </p> <p>That being said, we can choose to heed them rather than adhere to them. That means when you feel a surge of anger, call it out. Say, “That’s anger I’m experiencing because of an XYZ trouble. I know that this will pass, but I acknowledge that my feelings are valid.” Be sure to validate your emotions rather than exacerbate or dismiss them. </p> <p>Your feelings are real, and it is okay that you’re experiencing them! </p> <p><b>3.
