Musings and affirmations: I radiate calmness and tranquility

Only the development of compassion

and understanding

for others can bring us the

tranquility and happiness we all seek.

Affirmation: I radiate calmness and tranquility.

In every moment of my day, I am a beacon of peace. My serenity transcends time and circumstance. Deep within me, I feel a sense of stillness, which allows me to infuse harmony into my interactions with others.

Life is full of shifting situations. I never know for certain, what the next moment might hold. Therefore, I cultivate calmness inside of myself. Whatever happens in my life, I am prepared to greet each day with equanimity, abiding satisfaction and gratitude.

All is well in my world. I know this deeply.

When someone comes to me with a concern or strong emotion, I get to choose how I will respond. Emotional reaction is the easy first impulse, but instead I elect to breathe, pause and respond thoughtfully. I can do this because of the peace that lies inside of me.

Because I am calm in my dealings with others and responses to changing circumstances, I radiate tranquility. Others clearly see how peaceful I am.

I work diligently each day to cultivate my desired approach to the world.

If I ever feel for a moment like I am reacting emotionally, I can consciously reel myself in, take a moment to breathe and collect my thoughts. Then, I respond with calmness instead. I consider all sides.

I always allow my emotions a voice, but I refuse to let them rule me or my responses.

Today, I am grateful for the serenity I am able to cultivate each day of my life.

I know that I can trust in my own ability to experience peace in any circumstance.

Each day, I choose to respond with calmness and tranquility in every situation that comes my way.

Homework/ Self-Reflection Questions/ Journal Prompts:

1. In what types of situations have I felt most challenged to respond calmly?

2. What might help me respond more calmly when these circumstances arise?
