### Calming: Laying a foundation of peace
Research shows that the number one predictor of emotional stability is the ability to quiet ourselves from upset emotions. There have been a lot of memes and posters telling us to “Keep Calm and do something.” The reality, however, is that calming ourselves takes more than just choosing not to feel overwhelmed.
The Hebrew word for peace is shalom. It embodies the idea that I am okay because God is in control. I have peace because someone is with me who is not afraid and is able to handle whatever I am facing. As our Father, God is like the parent who helps us stay calm during the storm because He is safe, calm, and able to help us smile even in the midst of the thunder and lightning.
From a brain science perspective, calming has to do with quieting our bodies when emotions fill us with energy or drain us of life. One of the key practices for quieting our bodies is breathing. The reason this is so important is that taking control of your breathing helps you take control of your body. Box Breathing is a common practice taught in the military to help soldiers overcome their anxiety and stay calm.
#### Practice Exercise:
Calming quiets our bodies from upsetting emotions and deep breathing is a proven method for calming our bodies. Find a comfortable position and practice Box Breathing. Count to four with a deep breath in and hold to the count of four. Then exhale to the count of four and pause for a count of four. Continue this sequence for three minutes. Notice how your body feels when you are finished.
