Wikilatief - People who are calm or calm in general do not bother others. They are also more respected because they are considered not easily carried away by emotions.

If you want to be a quiet person, here are 16 ways you need to do it. 


1. Start by practicing mindfulness

Mindfulness is an offshoot of meditation that trains us to be aware of the current moment without reacting and without judging. 

Mastering this full awareness is not only trained to face certain moments, but all during the course of any activity.

Mindfulness also means we train ourselves to be fully present in the present moment, not drifted by the past or the future. In other words, we only need to focus on one moment, which is now.

The challenge is indeed hard, that the memory of the past is so much attached and often appears in the shadows, while the ambitions about the future are also so strong that we find it difficult to really enjoy the moment that exists now.

But no matter how tough the challenge, if we're going to try, we can do it. 

Because in the end all this is just part of the process of life, as well as the moment when you read this article is also part of the process of life that should be enjoyed.

Haste, anxiety and impatience are bitter fruits derived from our inability to enjoy the moment. So if you want to be a calm person, start practicing to focus on the current moment.

Learn to control your emotions in a variety of situations. When angry, take a deep breath and find a quiet place. 

When you're in a panic, sit down and think about a solution that can be taken. It's worth understanding that everyone basically has emotions. 

It's just that there are people who can master their emotions, but some who become slaves to their emotions. 

When you only obey emotions, of course you only become slaves to it. You will be easily nervous, panicked, angry, and sad because some things may be trivial.

Training the conscious mind means we also practice focus. In a state of focus, of course we are easier to distinguish between the positive and the negative, especially within ourselves first.

Indeed in certain situations, people around can trigger negative emotions or thoughts within us, but at the same time we need to be fully aware that we have absolute power over ourselves.

That is, others may trigger our negative emotions, but we can also control ourselves and not react to the negative emotions they experience. 

Of course back again on the previous topic, namely by way of mindfulness.

We can stay calm in even the most tumultuous situations. Others can make us feel what they are feeling, but they can't draw us into a bad situation that is going on.

With full awareness, we can separate every feeling that arises, when others provoke us to be angry, we can tell ourselves like "This anger is not me. I am calm, peaceful and unaffected by negativity around."

3. Understand that acting rashly is not good

Understand that your rash actions will not give any meaningful benefit. The panic you express will not solve a problem. 

And the anger you unleash will not cause the situation to calm down.

Conversely, if you calm down, then the problems and conflicts that occur can be resolved better. 

For when our heads are cold, our words and decisions will make more sense. Plant that view in your head. Thus, you can learn to be a calm person in the future.


4. Calculate profit and loss

Instead of acting according to emotions, learn to take action according to profit and loss. 

Let's say you're a new employee in an office. A senior in the office often underestimates your abilities.

Your heart hurts to be treated that way. But however, you have to pay off a large amount of parental debt. If you just obey your heart, you may immediately resign. 

Your mind will indeed calm down for a moment. But then what? Isn't your parents' debt unpaid? 

Instead of resigning, you should address the senior. Because after all, you need that job to help parents. 


5. Avoid being a personal perfectionist

Not a few people who have traits basically have a perfectionist personality. There are very few that do not meet their standards, they will panic and worry. 

When they see others behaving inappropriately, they will be disappointed and angry.

Hoping things go well isn't wrong. However, if we are too obsessed, then we will be harmed. 

Therefore, try to cut the perfectionist nature of it. Lower your standards and accept that things don't have to go our way.

One way to be a calm person is to learn more empathy. This is especially important when your disquienity is manifested in the explosive anger of others.

When you are a little disappointed and emotional with the other party, there are indications that you are less able to understand others. So you measure everything from your own perspective.

Let's say you grew up in a well-off family and got a scholarship to go abroad. When you're a lecturer, you're known to be tough on kids you think are stupid. 

In fact, the stupid student may be so because of economic disadvantage and family support. 

If you want to empathize, that is, by putting yourself in someone else's position, you can definitely be more tolerant. You will also appreciate those who are less successful in this life. 

And in return, you will be more loved by those around you. Super super, isn't it?


7. Focus on what's happening

It's easy to let yourself dissolve into past mistakes or worry about the future.

One of the most important and retractable mindfulness techniques, according to psychotherapists Donald Altman, is "loyalty at this point."

"The real sign that shows fatigue is you're stuck with the content of the mind," Altman said.

According to him, we have all the thoughts about the future. That's why we keep thinking about it. One way to stop it is to focus on what's around.

By participating fully in the present, we can change our relationship with what is happening around. We don't have to react violently to it.


8. Leave everything to God

If you are a religious person, you can set a mindset to give it all up to God. Mindset like this does not mean mindset easy to give up. 

Efforts must still be made. It's just that we don't insist that any kind of effort should succeed.

We have to understand that everything has a process. And that every thing that happens is already a will of power. With this way of thinking, our minds will be calmer and unhurried. 


9. Delay decision making while still emotional

Our disquianity most often causes problems when we have to make a decision. With our heads rumbled out of fear or out of anger, we take a hasty stance.

That's why, if we realize we have this tendency, we have to delay making decisions when the head is still hot. Try, just calm down. 

After that, just make a wise decision. Over time, you can definitely make decisions faster but with a cooler head and heart.

What if the decision has to be taken immediately? 

In such situations, you need to enlist the help of someone you trust. Ask your friends or relatives to discuss the decision. So you don't miss a step later on.

10. Reduce consumption of certain foods and beverages

The consumption of certain foods and drinks can cause our emotions to be more volatile. For example, alcohol and beverages that contain high caffeine. 

Therefore, if you are in the process of becoming a calm person, cut the consumption.

Because we like not to like, the condition of ourselves is influenced by what we eat. In the body, food will be processed in the digestive system. 

Food substances would be used for the production or triggering of certain hormones. 

Caffeine, for example, this substance can trigger adrenaline secretions that make a person's heart more beating and the mind more alert. 

As a result, persistent excessive consumption of caffeine tends to make a person less calm in various situations.


12. Listen to music

Do not forget, rest enough at least 6 hours per day. With a lifestyle like this, your body will be fresher so that the mind is also calmer.


14. Overcome past trauma

Many people have an easy tendency to worry and panic caused by trauma in the past. Some have been in a coma, cheated on by a couple, and had a bad accident. 

Such events can frighten a person in his subconscious for a very long time. So, if the condition is so, you should treat the trauma first.

Please discuss the matter with the person closest to you. If necessary, do not hesitate to go to a psychologist or psychiatrist. That way, you'll be able to move on from the traumatic event and be able to become a more stable and calm figure.


15. Leave bad habits

A calm attitude comes from calm feelings and thoughts. If you try to calm down, while your thoughts and feelings are messed up, then other people can feel that you are actually pretending to be calm.

To overcome all these pretenses, it's a good idea to leave all bad habits such as lazing, delaying, and like to spend time watching, hearing or watching things that do not have a positive impact.

Our intelligence lies not only in the brain, but also in every cell in the body that amounts to billions. 

This means that we cannot lie to ourselves and the person we have is the result of what we have absorbed all this time.

The solution is easy because according to customary research will be formed if done repeatedly for 21 days. 

If you now intend to have a positive habit, then be prepared to suffer for the next 21 days.

But believe me, the sacrifices you make are very small when compared to the results that are much greater. Do it from your heart, because it will have a positive impact on you as well as those around you.


16. Exercise and take a rest

Exercise does have good health effects, including relieving stress. But, the benefits of the sport we only get if we get enough rest.

The study, published in the journal Military Psychology, suggests sleep-deprived pilots will feel more alert after 10 minutes of exercise.

Exercise triggers more slowwave brain activity, so after the next 50 minutes the level of alertness is reduced. So, exercise when we get enough sleep.
