Finding stillness in a chaotic world and taking care of yourself – mind, body, and soul

Stillness is a state of being still- in other words being calm, relaxed, quiet, and inactive. While on the outside there might be turbulence and activity, inside there is peace and tranquility. Stillness is what you need if you want to be more creative, to make better decisions, and is the key to thinking clearly, making tough decisions, regulating our emotions, and being truly present for our lives.
