When a storm in life comes, what happens? How do you stay calm amongst the storm that has caused chaos around you?

A storm is energy. A lot of life storms happen because of the energy that one produces. Now I have got you thinking! Yes, our body energy causes things around us to get excited. Emotions affect the energy flow.

When you are happy, your heart starts to feel open, joyful and free. Things seem to go smoothly, and you can think clearly. Yet, when you are tight, your feelings are fearful. You get frustrated and everything seems harder to do, you can’t concentrate, your decisions falter or crumble. You created a storm.

A Choice Surrounding a Storm

Many emotional storms can come and go with new thoughts. Most people don’t realize they are the ones creating it. Every choice we make at every turn of our day is an emotional experience.

I have a sign on my wall I look at every morning. Some days I stop and take it in, others it blurs out. It reads “I think I will be happy today”! You can’t help but smile at that, right?

That is how the world should start their day, little storms wouldn’t grow so big. Being happy is a choice we all need to make. It calms your energies and gives you the open feelings to make good choices. I helps you think and be able to accomplish the tasks in front of you.

Being Amongst the Storm

When you learn how to calm your own storm, the ones thrown at you from outside can’t cause so much damage. When you are all tight and frustrated and come up to a person who is calm and happy, what happens? Does your energy shift?

Some will shift and get out of your way, others will ask if you are okay, and some will even try to help. But bumping into a happy person will calm your storm if you let them. Or vice versa, you are the happy person, have you calmed another person’s storm? It is a strong emotional response.

Staying calm amongst the storm is something we all should strive for. Life doesn’t have to be hard, make the choice to be happy and free no matter what is going on around us!
