My Inspiration For The Blog, Creating Calm With Clare

All Calm Categories – General

Meet the Author

Welcome. My Name is Clare.

I am a mum and live with my fiancee and son in the South of England. 

I spend a great deal of time researching ways to create a calm way of life for our family.

I am now collating and discussing all of the information and knowledge I am gathering here on this blog.

I hope that sharing my knowledge, thoughts and findings will help others who are craving calmness.

Why I wish to Create a Calmer Lifestyle

My focus on “creating calm” began a few years ago when I began to realise that my young son was already worrying and feeling anxious.

Living with worry is not a new phase in my life.

My Fiancee and I have always considered ourselves introverts. We often feel nervous about a variety of life situations and struggle with self-doubt.

I myself have always been “a worrier” and I know how draining and stressful the process of worrying can be. However, I always thought it was just something that was an intrinsic part of my personality. Something that I could not change and something I just had to live with.

Seeing my very young son display the same characteristics of worry held up a magnifying glass to the negative effects of worry. It highlighted to me the true impact that worry and anxiety can have on a person’s ability to enjoy life. It also highlighted the impact that worrying and anxiety can have on the family as a whole.

This made me think differently about my own worry and anxiety. It encouraged me to seek out a different approach to worry and anxiety for all the family. I no longer wish to live through life thinking that worrying and feeling anxious are an intrinsic part of any person, or an unchangeable norm for anyone or any family.

This concentrated my mind on how our family can create a lifestyle that will nurture and encourage a life free from the constant burden of worry and anxiety.

When thinking about what a life without constant worry would look and feel like, I imagined such a life would be incredibly calm.

In the dictionary the definition of “calm” states that calm means “not disturbed, agitated or excited”. It is also defined as “tranquil, serene.” This is the atmosphere I hope to achieve for our family in our home.

I am therefore actively seeking to create an intentionally calm way of life for our family, so that we can all confidently step out into the world to fully contribute, share our talents and enjoy life to the full.

I still have a great deal to learn about developing a calm mind, a calm body, a calm house and a calm home. I have yet more to learn about becoming a calm parent and raising my son to know what it is to be calm. Our family have certainly not perfected a life without worry, but we are making some good steps towards worrying less.

I hope you will read along with me on the blog as I continue to discover, reasearch and write about ideas that are aimed at learning how to create a calmer lifestyle for the whole family.
