Can you remain poised even in a trying situation?
Emotional instability is caused by the thoughts we think. If we have a fear thought, we should simply cast it out of our mind. Too often we encourage worry by thinking upon it, talking about it, mulling it over, picturing all sorts of negative possibilities. The more we indulge in this type of mental behavior, the more our emotional nature gets out of hand.
Take hold of your thought process. Refuse to dwell on what causes turbulence. Think thoughts that are harmonious, peaceful, and good, and your emotions and life will reflect the same.
To still emotions that are disturbing, take a prayer thought and dwell upon it. For example, “I am quiet within and without. I rest in God and all is well.” Speak the words to yourself. Take a deep, relaxing breath. You will feel new ease in your body and a new poise flooding your being. Nothing can disturb your nor rob you of peace and poise.
