Dr. Srikumar Rao’s speech “Calm Your Mind” is about breaking free from stress, worry, and mental turbulence by shifting your mindset. His core message is that your suffering is not caused by external events but by how you interpret them—and by changing your perspective, you can find peace and joy, no matter what happens in life.

Your mind is like a storm when filled with stress and worry. But by changing your thought patterns and learning to detach from negative emotions, you can achieve inner peace, clarity, and true happiness.

Detach from Outcomes – Most of our anxiety comes from obsessing over results. Instead, focus on the process and trust that things will unfold as they should.

Reframe Negative Thoughts – The way you see a situation determines how you feel about it. Shift your perspective, and you shift your emotions.

Let Go of the Illusion of Control – We often stress about things we can’t control. True peace comes from accepting uncertainty and embracing life as it comes.

Live in the Present – Stop postponing happiness by thinking, “I’ll be happy when…” Instead, find joy in the now.

Gratitude as a Mindset – By actively appreciating what you have, you rewire your brain to focus on the positive, which naturally calms your mind.

The stories you tell yourself create the life you live. Choose wisely.
