Why Calm Up? Nobody likes to be told to calm down. It can feel patronising and also feels like our feelings don't matter and are being dismissed. Rather than pushing down and suppressing our feelings which is what happens when we are told to calm down, Calm Up starts within, we go to the source of the feelings and discomfort in our body and start from there. This also happens when we use external sources to escape from the discomfort, we push down the feelings which can lead to overwhelm or not feeling anything at all. Calm Up is not about negating or diluting what is going on in our life, it's about finding that place within all of us that is calm and using that to radiate out everywhere. It's not about hitting a panic button as we can't cope anymore, it's about hitting an action button. The calmer we are the more present we are, and we can feel more connected to our relationships, our goals, and ourselves. You can access your inner calm without sitting on a yoga mat for hours or being in constant meditation. You can feel more comfortable and at ease and have confidence in the choice you make. You don't need all the spiritual accessories, you just need more of you. About The AuhtorSam Livermore was born in London.
