In Search of Calm

RHYS BOWEN:
Your flight is delayed and you are stuck at the airport, about to miss a speaking engagement. A dear friend is in hospital. An editor wants rewrites NOW.
We've all been in positions when the stress threatens to become unbearable. I have developed one small tool that I carry with me. On my iPad I have an album of scenes of beauty, most taken by me. I gaze at them, one by one, and feel the tension slip away. I smile as I remember the joy of hiking up to the Matterhorn, of seeing Monet's waterlilies. It makes the time go and I feel refreshed.
So I thought I'd share a few of them with you now.





Do you have any tricks, any good ways of calming yourself in time of stress?
