Calm

A steady state without a large emotional spike in either direction.

Calm is not the same as boredom. It often means your tension is low, your pace is recoverable, and your attention can stay in the present.

Common signs

  • Breathing feels steady
  • Your decisions are less rushed
  • It is easier to stay in the moment

How to write it down

  • Write what environment or routine created the calm
  • Note who you were with
  • Also record what interrupted the calm
