Perspective: Moving homes has a writer feeling stressed and wondering how to cultivate calm during difficult situations.
If calm isn’t where you are, then look at it as the place you want to be, a destination you can make plans to reach and hold in your mind.
So, you’re not calm about the move. All you can do now is take steps to get yourself there somehow; you can’t change the past.What steps? As always, when you’re trying to move yourself somewhere emotionally, go for the low-hanging fruit. Forgive yourself for losing your cool. “I’m human, and this is hard, and it got the best of me. I’m still okay.”· Take breaks. Unless the van is pulling in the driveway right now, you have five minutes.· Cross all nonessentials off the list.
· Find a reliable source of perspective. It’s hard to stay overwhelmed, I think, about the mundane when you have an eyeful of sunset or starry sky or ocean or mountain vista. We are blips, all of us. That can be depressing or comforting, depending on your mood, but when you’re in need of reminders that It Just Doesn’t Matter, whatever It is, nature has your back.These are all specific, but if you squint, as a group, they are a blueprint for remaining calm.
· What helps me is asking the question, “Now what?” As in: “I wish I were calmer about this move, but I’m not, so now what?” That kicks my brain into gear to do something to alleviate my stress, rather than allowing it to beat me up for not being calmer.
