MIND OVER MAYHEM

How to stay calm in turbulent times by awakening inner peace and creative resilience

- Dr Mickey Mehta

Every crisis hides a secret gift. It's an invitation to pause. Look the world around us. Look within us. Most people in the world are forced to look within when they hit rock bottom. It is in those mountain moments that the human spirit reveals its most brilliant and creative side.

A crisis demands solutions. But the best answers don't come from stress, aggression or fear. They arise from a centred, calm and composed mind that refuses to buckle under pressure. Instead, you are not in pieces but at peace.

Peace brings clarity. Clarity brings vision. And vision brings solutions that have always waited, longed to be seen. Often, what we seek is right in front of us. Our panic clouds our perception. Our hysteria makes us not knowing, tightening like a knot.

Inner force

When we are anxious, the body gets into fight-or-flight mode. The pulse quickens, breath shortens, and logic gives way to fear. But the belief can change biology. With just three harmonious and deep, rhythmic breaths one can instantly feel more itself. A confident, meditative mind automatically shifts toward creativity.

Don't let your tumult optimism blossoms and in its place calmness arrives. Life is not about being positive or negative; it is about being centered. From that centred position when clarity and peace become a creator.

Don't resist

Whenever you resist, persists. Resistance cre-

ates tension, anxiety, and disharmony of self.
