When Everything Around You Is Chaos — How to Become the Calm

When Everything Around You Is Chaos — How to Become the Calm

Does everything around you feel like too much right now? Between other people’s panic, constant noise, and a non-stop news cycle, it can easily feel like the world is spinning much faster than you can keep up with.

If you are trying to hold yourself together in the middle of it all, this session is for you. True calm is not something that happens to you only when the chaos stops—it is an internal strength you build so it remains steady regardless of what the external world is doing. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett shares the invaluable lessons learned from 25 years of responding to emergency crises.



Discover how the people who hold the room together during a crisis are not those who feel nothing, but those who have learned the somatic grounding methods and breathwork needed to navigate through fear. Learn how to stop your nervous system from unconsciously mirroring external stress, rewrite your automatic responses, and become a beacon of tranquility. Episode Chapters & Timestamps

Guided Affirmations to Repeat InternallyAllow these therapeutic phrases to sink deep into your subconscious mind to rewrite your default reactions to external anxiety:
  • "I do not need the storm to stop in order to find my calm."
  • "I am the steady presence in the room; my calm is a gift I give to those around me."
  • "Chaos around me does not mean chaos within me."
  • "I breathe, I stand, I shine—that is enough."
  • "I am grounded, I am lit from within, I am the lighthouse."
3 Daily Caring Tips for a Happier Life
  1. Identify the Emotional Owner: When an abrupt wave of anxiety hits you in a group or public environment, pause and ask yourself: "Is this mine, or did I absorb it from someone else?" Simply naming the distinction creates the cognitive space your nervous system needs to stop mirroring external panic and start regulating.
  2. Employ Somatic Grounding: Before answering a difficult phone call, stepping into a tense meeting, or engaging in a stressful conversation, press your feet firmly into the floor for three seconds. This physical connection sends immediate safety signals to your brain, grounding you before you respond.
  3. Let Your Calm Be Contagious: Social neuroscience reveals that human nervous systems naturally entrain to one another. By intentionally slowing your breathing and lowering your vocal tone in a frantic environment, you silently cue the people around you to regulate their own stress responses. Your peace is a highly active gift.
