Calm Counts

August 13, 2022 Sarah Raspin

When you are calm, people are drawn to you. And the ones who aren't drawn to you don't matter

When you are calm it's easier to hear what you need to be well, so you care for yourself, gently.

When you are calm you heal. Your immune system is able to do its job properly and your troubles are there to be encompassed, not hidden from, run from or pushed away.

When you are calm things slow down. No more grasping, seeking, striving for perfect.

Things get easier. Life gets simpler and has more joy in it.

Calm counts.
