How's your serenity level this week?

I hope you're having a joyful and calm Christmas week!  One of the best techniques I know for calm and serenity involves having a short phrase or even a single word that you repeat to yourself when you're feeling stress or anxiety rising within.  I found this short little article that I wanted to share with you.  You can also get some Christmas Tranquility here!
Finding a meaningful mantra is one of the best ways to show yourself some support. It's a tool that can instantly connect you to your best self — no matter what the world throws at you — and provide inspiration and comfort. Choose a word, a phrase, or even a lyric from a song that suggests what you want in life. It could be something like "I choose love," or even just a word, like peace. Allow the phrase or word to run through your mind, and practice saying it when you wake up or before you go to bed at night. Eventually, it will become automatic and will always be there for you when you need it.
