Serenity in Turbulent Times
How to Find Calmness in an Uncertain World
In a world that never stops changing, where political and societal uncertainties shape our lives and the news does little to comfort us, serenity feels like a rare treasure. Yet, in times of uncertainty – like after recent elections and the challenges that threaten to divide our democracies and societies – it’s more important than ever to keep a clear mind.
So how do we find calmness when the world seems to be spinning out of control and we’re right in the middle of it?
The Illusion of Security
There was a time when life seemed predictable: education, career, house, family – everything appeared to follow a structured path. But today? Nothing seems certain anymore. Political systems are shaken, democracies are being tested, and societal tensions are on the rise.
And yet, was it ever truly different? Or were we merely living in the illusion of security?
Uncertainty as the New Normal
Uncertainty has long become a part of our daily lives. Temporary contracts, shifting life models, political upheavals – these are no longer exceptions but the norm. The question isn’t how to avoid uncertainty, but how to navigate through it.
Serenity as the Key to Inner Peace
Serenity doesn’t mean ignoring problems or becoming passive. Quite the opposite: it’s about maintaining control over your reaction. By accepting that we can’t control everything, we regain the power to act.

Did you know that you can actually train yourself to be more serene?
Here are 10 tips to help you cultivate more calmness in your everyday life:
- Trust and Optimism – Believe that everything happens for a reason.
- Strengthen Your Self-Confidence – You are good just the way you are.
- Curiosity Over Judgment – Approach new experiences with neutrality, without jumping to conclusions.
- Change Perspectives – Try to see things from a different angle.
- Question Your Expectations – Do all expectations really need to be met?
- Embrace Uncertainty – Take a leap of faith without knowing the outcome.
- Let Go of Perfection – Mistakes are human and make us relatable.
- Admit Your Mistakes – This builds trust with those around you.
- Cultivate Spontaneity – Not everything needs to be meticulously planned.
- Take Calculated Risks – But never put all your eggs in one basket.

Serenity as the Need of the Hour
Especially in the current social and political situation, serenity is not only a personal gain, but a necessity for our cohesion. Because only those who remain calm can think clearly and act constructively.
So let’s try to face the future calmly – we can’t change it anyway. But we can change our attitude and learn to remain flexible and adaptable.
