I am Calm and Mindful

I am calm and mindful.

My mind is still and quiet, even in turbulent times. The more stressful my environment, the more relaxed I become. I am able to stay level-headed and peaceful during turmoil and anxious moments.

I breathe in deeply when I want to bring my mind back to the present. By having my mind in the present, I am able to enjoy everything that is available in that moment.

When I am mindful, I feel that nothing can hurt me. I can face the challenges in my life directly and joyfully.

Being calm and mindful creates the mental space I need to make wise decisions. This includes decisions regarding my speech, thoughts, and actions. I avoid the habitual reactions that are the genesis of challenges.

Mindfulness makes me more able to manage my life successfully.

Remaining calm in stressful situations feels good. I enjoy the feeling that I have control over myself. My ability to handle stress and maintain my focus grows by leaps and bounds.

My calmness is contagious. I have a positive impact on the mood of everyone around me. I am a positive influence on the lives of others.

Today, my mind is focused and observant. I am aware of my thoughts and actions. I learn more about myself and my mental habits each day. I am calm and mindful.
