My Chaotic Mess When I first began exploring mindfulness, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Life had become a series of unfortunate events, each one piling on top of the last, creating an unmanageable weight. From the trauma of an assault that led to a forced abortion to the heartbreak of a four-year relationship that never led to marriage, I felt like I was constantly spiraling. The weight of a marriage that ultimately fell apart, losing custody of my children, struggling with mental health, and battling through health and work-related endurance issues—everything felt overwhelming. During these times, I found myself in need of tools—tools to help me manage, to cope, and to regain some control back. Mindfulness became one of the most invaluable practices I embraced. And through my journey, I discovered several resources that provided tangible relief: therapy, self-help groups, psychotherapy, counseling, and, yes, mindfulness tools.

How do you achieve calmness?
You can achieve calmness with practice and control.
Practice and control in stillness, temporarily abandoning how you feel.
To calm down is to back away from the overwhelming feeling
in response to conditions or situations you are in.
To calm down in anger.
To calm down the excitement.
To calm down the fear.
To calm down the anxiety.
To calm down from the overwhelming feeling and begin to relax.
It's not calmness. It's not relaxing. It's just stillness.
To be completely still and in tune with yourself.
To be completely still and in tune with nature.
To be completely still and in tune with God- Your Creator.
To be still is to surrender completely.
To be mindful, is to be aware and in tune with everything and everybody.
To be mindful is being careful and intentional.
Remember every breath work, every prayer (or chant?), every heart beat, is in tune and beats to the same rhythmic vibration to the One- the Almighty Creator.
Everything and everyone has it's own unique frequency, enjoining to the Creator in a rhythmic vibrational energy, beating in oneness to the ultimate One- the Almighty Creator.
It's when you completely surrender to God, it's when you feel humility, you'll feel calm and at peace. You are one of the created beings, realizing no matter how big the universe is, you can still be in tune to your Creator. Such boundless love and mercy.
