ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Equanimity

Equanimity is a mental state where you try to stay calm and balanced, even when things around you are changing. It's like taking a deep breath and telling yourself that everything is going to be okay. It's learning to stay calm and not let your emotions take over. If something makes you happy, you don't get too excited and if something makes you sad, try not to get too upset. It's like being an island in rough waters, that stands still in the middle of it all.
