In a World that’s Losing its Mind, why Calm is the real power, and overreaction ruins everything!

from The 3 Mantras Podcast · host Paul Hughes

I Lost Control Once—and It Put Me in the Hospital | A Lesson in Staying Calm ...In a world that feels louder, angrier, and more reactive by the day, this week’s episode of The Three Mantras is about something radical: staying calm.We’re living in a time where people are over-excited, anxious, protesting, reacting—and often escalating situations that never needed to happen in the first place. In this episode, I talk honestly about why calm, neutral energy isn’t weakness… it’s power.I read from The Three Mantras and A Course in Miracles, both of which point to the same truth: when we stay level-headed and grounded, problems lose their fuel.I also share a personal story from my earlier days—getting into a bar fight on Sunset Boulevard that landed me in the hospital. Nothing about that night needed to happen. It all came from being emotionally over-charged instead of calm in the moment.Had I stayed centered, things would have worked out better than I could’ve imagined.This episode isn’t about judging the chaos—it’s about choosing peace in the middle of it.If you’ve been feeling anxious, reactive, or overwhelmed by what’s happening around you, this conversation is for you.#InnerPeace#Mindfulness#Overreaction#MentalHealthAwareness#AcourseInMiracles* This episode's sound was not the best, my apologies! I have fixed the issue for next week.  Support the show3mantras.com
