    Meilleure citation de Calm Control: Staying Present When Life Gets Busy

    “

    Tranquility isn't about having perfect conditions—it's about creating small pockets of intentionality within whatever conditions you have. We don't need to completely overhaul our lives to find calm; we just need to shift how we relate to what's already happening.
