Calm

Treasure the calm that results for achieving control of your life even if it's just in a few small ways. It's worth remembering that a lot of anxiety can be caused by individuals who wish to control you for their own purposes which could include just succumbing to their own compulsion to manipulate others. Of course individuals wishing to influence each other can be a positive experience for all concerned but that should take place within a context of mutual respect and understanding the importance of a person's integrity and control of their own life assuming that they enjoy the health and sanity to do that. Of course some individuals might be too unwell/insane to be capable of control of their life which leads to acceptable outcomes for themselves and others; such individuals may require treatment. This last point opens up a whole discussion about the purpose of mental health medicine and criminal justice procedures/organisations.
