I would love you to think for a minute & close your eyes too…

Can you imagine if everyone in the world took one day to focus on becoming more intentional with their behavior, their reactions and committed to staying calm?

What if everyone started thinking before they react; instead of responding emotionally without taking the time to think out the appropriate response to a situation?

How many times have you yelled at your children and then regretted that you responded that way? How many times have you felt like a bad parent for losing your patience with your child?

How many times have you wished you hadn't spoken to a friend or co-worker in an aggressive way without thinking first?

​

How do you feel when someone speaks disrespectfully to you?

How many times do you wish you simply had more patience, with… oh… everything?

Celia Kibler, Author and Family Empowerment Coach, Founder of Pumped Up Parenting and Co-Founder of Funfit® Family Fitness is now on a personal mission to stop 1,000,000 parents from yelling at their kids. With tensions and stress rising over the past years of this pandemic, and generations over history yelling and flogging children, Celia realized that it wasn’t just parents that needed to stop yelling, we all do. The aggression and worthlessness that so many deal with, comes from generations of aggressive, abusive parenting. It is necessary for everyone to stop all the yelling and aggressive behaviors associated with their relationships (personal or business) and start becoming pro-active in their responses to life instead of emotionally reactive. People need to start taking personal responsibility for their actions, but for many they don't know where to start. So let's begin by being intentional for just one day. So much more would get accomplished in this world if everyone would concentrate on communicating calmly and peacefully, without judgement and criticism, instead of being more concerned with whether they're right or who gets in the final word.

Think for a moment… Can you imagine if everyone thought before they reacted to a situation, what would that result look like? I will tell you, more people would learn how to regulate their own emotions. If we could start understanding situations, start thinking about what the reality of the situation is, and create a productive response; we could affect each person that we get involved with, with a much more positive outlook on what is really going on. Actually giving each person an opportunity to not just talk, but be listened to, heard and even understood.

The beauty of it all is that, when you react calmly to a situation, you give the other person (be it your child, friend, family or co-worker) permission to respond in a gentler, calmer manner. Calm always creates more calm, and yes, it starts with just one person.

If we all intentionally stay calm for just one day, we honestly believe we CAN change the atmosphere of the world. In one day, each person can experience what an incredible feeling it is to enjoy a day with more peace, more cooperation, more kindness, more smiles and hopefully make a conscious decision to continue this calm into the next day and the next day and the next.

Together, we CAN make an impact, we WILL help people realize that becoming calmer, more peaceful and more relaxed, WILL result in so many rewards including happiness, relaxation, reduced stress, increased positivity and an overall enjoyment of your world. We can overturn the generations of dysfunction and abuse, by deciding that this stops with me! And what better day to decide to stop, then on the International Day of Calm.

Are you ready to join us? You can do this! Take the promise.

Tell everyone “I’m Calm Too!” and wear your badge of honor proudly #ImCalm2!!!
