動揺しないのは不可能ですが、
動揺した時、態度や表情に出さない練習をやってみてはどうでしょうか?
クールな表情でスマートに動くように心掛けると、気持ちが動揺していてもやがて静まります。
いつもより少しフォーマルなメイク(お洒落で上品なクラシカルで鮮やか、又はシックなメイク)、髪型も何時もより少しだけ丁寧にトリートメントしてヘアオイルで艶を多めにしたり、シャープな雰囲気のジャケットで、女性の体であってもサージェントな(此れをレディ・サージェントと呼ぶそうですよ。from O.先生)シャツ、ジャケット、少しだけクールでハイエンドなライダース(BTSの2.0のパフォーマンスの衣装を参照)などで、硬質な優雅さを漂わせて動いてみると、動揺していても20分程で気持ちが冷静になっていくのが実感出来ると思います。

私も効率の良い物事の片付け方は大好きですが、凄く急いで居る時は、そもそも人が反射的に体を引く距離をすり抜けたりしませんよね?
ここ数年程、地震や強い警報、世界情勢が不安定で激しくなっていると報道が流れた後、必ず異様に早い歩き方で、人にぶつかりそうな距離スレスレをすり抜ける人を多く見かけています。
昨日(20260401)は、午前中に栃木で震度5弱の地震があったんですが、夕方スーパーで、私の鞄にぶつかって来た上、持っていたカゴにもぶつかり、そのまま会釈もしないで行き過ぎる若い女性、ラッシュの売り場でぼんやりしたまま宙を見ながら立っている人々、エントランスのゴミ箱スペースでは、まだ十分空間に余裕があるのに、私1人がショッピングカートを止めて立っている所へ真っ直ぐやって来たり(避けて回り込めば良いのでは?)、わざわざ混んでいる売り場スペースを認識出来ていないのに、もっと詰めかけてしまっていたり、通路でも十分避けるスペースがあるのに人の体スレスレを通ったりしている人を、何人も見掛けました。
今月から自転車は青切符対象になり、物価も上がり、世界情勢の為、石油価格は不透明で、4月1日から新生活が始まり、地震以外でも動揺しやすい季節ではあります。
動揺していても表情や態度に出さない練習を普段していると、混乱していると周囲に分かってしまう言動はしなくなります。
他にも妙にヒステリックで声高に話していたり、学校の廊下で横一列に並んで雑談して居るのと区別が付いて居ないかのようなスーツの人達、通りの建物に響き渡る大声で電話する男性等、揺れた地域から遠く離れている私の住む街でも、混乱の中に入ったまま、その自覚がない人達が沢山居ました。
日本は地震の多い国なので、過去に被災した経験の有る方、強い揺れで驚いた経験の有る方、強い揺れで落ちてきた食器が粉々になった経験の有る方は、今後災害の報道を見た後、知らず知らずショックを受けヒステリックになったり、とても傷つき易くなったりするので、ショックの影響が言動に出ないよう、内面に影響が出ないよう、災害報道が出た後は、エマージェンシー・スケジュールを作ってこなすようにしては如何でしょうか?
私は、災害報道が出た後は、静かに過ごす。静謐な環境でコーヒーを飲む。お洒落な花を少しだけ買って部屋に戻り、薬缶を火に掛けた後、夕方の街のくつろぎを小さな花瓶に生ける。早く寝る。必要なら睡眠導入剤を飲む。強いニュースを見ない等を、普段の暮らしに加えます。
こちらは窓からでは無く、お店の前から見上げた空です。
以上、 動揺した時・本日の雑感(不定期)でした。

It’s impossible not to feel flustered,
but why not try practicing not to let it show in your attitude or facial expressions?
If you make a conscious effort to maintain a composed expression and act with poise, your nerves will eventually settle down.
Try wearing slightly more formal makeup than usual (something stylish, elegant, classic, and vibrant, or chic), style your hair a little more carefully than usual with a generous amount of hair oil for extra shine, and wear a sharp-looking jacket. Even for a woman’s body, aim for a “sergeant” look (apparently this is called “Lady Sergeant.” from Prof.O.)—and try moving with an air of rigid elegance. Even if you’re feeling unsettled, I think you’ll find that your emotions will calm down within about 20 minutes.

I love efficient ways of getting things done too, but when you’re in a huge hurry, you don’t usually squeeze past people at a distance so close they instinctively step back, do you?
Over the past few years, whenever news reports air about earthquakes, severe warnings, or the world becoming increasingly unstable and turbulent, I’ve noticed a lot of people walking at an abnormally fast pace, squeezing past others at a distance where they’re practically about to bump into them.
Yesterday (April 1, 2026), there was a magnitude 5.0 earthquake in Tochigi in the morning, but in the evening at the supermarket,
I saw a young woman who bumped into my bag and then into the shopping basket I was holding, and just walked right past without even a nod.
I also saw several people standing in the crowded aisles, staring blankly into space; at the trash bin area near the entrance, even though there was plenty of room,
someone came straight toward me—the only person standing there with a shopping cart (couldn’t they have just gone around me?)—and others who didn’t seem to realize how crowded the aisles were, just pushing their way in even more. Even in the aisles, where there was plenty of room to avoid others, people were passing by just inches from my body.
Starting this month, bicycles are subject to traffic tickets, prices are rising, oil prices remain uncertain due to global conditions, and with the start of a new life on April 1st, it’s a season when people are easily unsettled, even aside from earthquakes.

If you practice not letting your unease show in your facial expressions or demeanor, you’ll stop making remarks or taking actions that reveal your confusion to those around you.
There were also people speaking in an oddly hysterical, loud voice; people in suits who seemed unable to distinguish between chatting in a single file in a school hallway and their current situation; and men talking on the phone at a volume that echoed through the buildings on the street.
Even in my town, far from the areas affected by the quake, there were many people who remained in a state of confusion without realizing it.
Since Japan is a country prone to earthquakes, those who have experienced a disaster in the past, those who have been startled by strong tremors, or have seen dishes shatter from a strong tremor, may unconsciously experience shock after seeing disaster coverage in the future, becoming hysterical or highly vulnerable. To prevent this shock from affecting your behavior or inner state, why not create an “emergency schedule” to follow after disaster reports air?
After disaster news airs, I spend time quietly. I drink coffee in a serene environment. I buy a few elegant flowers, return to my room, put a kettle on the stove, and arrange the flowers in a small vase to capture the relaxed atmosphere of the evening city. I go to bed early. If necessary, I take a sleep aid. I incorporate these practices—such as avoiding intense news—into my daily routine.
Since today was one of those rainy days I love so much, I ordered omurice and coffee at a quiet café.
This isn’t the view from the window, but the sky as seen from the front of the shop.

That concludes today’s random thoughts (irregular) on times when I feel unsettled.
