I possess the ability to restore calm when experiencing stress. During moments of overwhelm, I recognize this is temporary and I have the power to reset to calm through practiced breathing. Engaging my senses in my immediate environment effectively interrupts my stress and returns me to calm in the present moment. I am capable of seeing my emotional responses with objectivity, without allowing them to dictate my actions. I know my priorities even during periods of heightened stress. Each step forward builds powerful momentum toward calm. I am not my stress. Mental clarity naturally returns, shifting chaos to clarity. I recognize that temporary stress represents merely one facet of my identity, not its entirety. Within minutes, I can effectively transition between emotional states.  I possess both the inherent resilience and acquired strategies necessary to restore center under any circumstance.
