Calm is Contagious

From the Neuzeit Tarot, the Moon; from Rory's Story Cubes, Phone:

There is a maxim that Navy SEALs pass from officer to officer, man to man. In the midst of chaos, even in the fog of war, their battle-tested advice is this: “Calm is contagious.”

The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday

When the body is running on empty and emotions are running high, the ability to see with clarity is skewed. Things that are inconsequential suddenly mushroom into dire situations; projections and assumptions are taken as fact. It's easy to fall back into old habits that damage our well-being. In recovery, it is suggested that folks collect some phone numbers of sane and centered people to call - their groundedness can help anchor others until they can rest and find peace once again.
