Is calmness required when reciting 'By the power of Allah, I stand, sit, bow, and prostrate'? Should I say it while standing for the next unit of prayer, or should it be said beforehand while sitting to achieve calmness?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
It is recommended to recite it while rising, and calmness is not a condition for it.
May you be successful in all good.
