1
Be Prepared:
Bad things happen to everyone so you must be prepared for your bad timings. Instead of asking how can this happen to me, you should act normally and focus on making a valid plan of action. People lose nerves just because they never had imagined that before and a sudden shock paralysed them psychologically. -
2
Take prompt actions:
Instead of discussing with everyone, you should be taking prompt actions to turn the situation in your favour. However, this does not mean that you won’t think before doing anything. Examine your options and then choose the best. This will really help you to move forward for an instant remedy and ultimately you will stay calm after seeing that things are getting better. -
3
Be in the moment:
The most common mistake people make is that either they live in the past or in the future. In this way, they lose a chance to make things better and then freak out. You should remain in the moment and keep yourself busy in some task as this will provide you the focused attention needed for the solution. -
4
Stay positive:
You must set aside all the worries and give yourself the positive affirmations. Spend some time alone and whisper to yourself “Yes you can do it”, “Things will get better” etc. Have faith in yourself and you will see how well you deal with this crisis. -
5
Change your angle:
You must change the way you look at things. Imagine an even worse scenario and be grateful that you did not fall that much. Believe me, this exercise will really help you to control your emotions during a crisis. -
6
Drain your fears out:
Talk to somebody really close to you and share all the fears that you might have. Sometimes, all you need is just a catharsis to stay calm.
