As we grow in grace and in wisdom we decide what we will allow and things we will not permit. The inspirational warfare of today is to practice being calm in every situation. Calmness is your super power. You can sometimes exacerbate the problem by not being calm. Learning to be calm rather than reacting emotionally all of the time is healthier for your entire being (mind, body, spirit). It will not be an easy task, this is why you have to practice. Pause and think before you "go off" on someone. Tune negative energy out. I don't care who it comes from, dismiss it. Sometimes you have to separate yourself from toxic people. Protect your energy and your space. Remember, once you release those words into the air you cannot take it back no matter how sorry you are! Apologies will not erase what you said so watch your mouth. Improve your mind with more positive thinking. Breathing exercises really do work. I know that some folks are probably thinking breathing exercises are not realistic or the first thing they would do when incidents or situations arises. As you learn to lean on techniques to help you it will be like second nature. Fighting against hypertension and stress is conducive to good habits of self control.
“Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power. ”
