mental calm

Tranquil state within

Mental calm is a state of inner stillness and composure, free from agitation or racing thoughts.

It suggests control over one's emotional responses rather than the absence of external stress: She maintained her mental calm despite the chaos around her.

The phrase often appears in discussions of meditation, therapy, or stress management.
