Presence of mind simply means being able to control your reactions to a given situation. I have a personal example, in live combat it very easy to experience abject terror; Presence of mind is being able to take what you have learned in Basic Training and put it to use in the real situation. Presence of mind could also imply self control. When I was growing up(now I am giving away my age) my favorite TV character was Mr. Spock of Star Trek. His thinking and decision making was guided by his logic and unclouded by emotional reactions. Can presence of mind be achieved? Yes, but it takes the will to learn how to control yourself. I have found playing chess (the intensity of tournament chess, especially a 6 hour games are testing)and studying philosophy are very conducive to developing such a habit. There are other ways to go about it, but those are the methods I have employed. Anything that is worth learning always takes time and discipline.

Calm state of mind and peace of mind are one and the same thing which is experienced when there are no thoughts or thinking process in the mind. This state is usually experienced effortlessly through meditation Trying to make the mind free from thoughts directly may not help to achieve this state. Presence of mind is usually related to mindfulness and is an active state of mind.

Presence of Mind is referrng to people who can stay focused and logical, regardless of the circumstances--especially chaos or danger.
Like the football player's wife who was carjacked. she was in the back seat, and had the presence of mind to reach in her purse and dial 911 on her cell phone, and then ask the driver why they were going down a street, and she would name it--loudly. Cops caught up with them, she was safe.
