5 Things Calm People Never Do (That You Do Without Noticing)

Calm people aren't born calm. They quietly stop doing 5 small things, and most of us do all five every single day without noticing. In this video, we break down 5 things calm people never do, and the psychology behind why each one steals your peace: answering while triggered, letting your phone set your pace, rehearsing disasters, comparing your insides to someone else's outside, and treating every thought as a fact.
