Often, we lose our sense of calm during stressful situations. It is not in our control. Some people may appear calm but they are the ones who take it to heart and it affects them more than those who shout it out.
There is a fun story of Englishmen and Frenchmen traveling on a bus. The bus skidded and was about to fall off a cliff. The Frenchmen started shouting and making noise while the English remained calm. The bus was brought back to safety and the Frenchmen relaxed but the English panicked and started ranting about what could have happened.
This just shows the different attitudes or mentality of people in difficult situations. Remaining calm was a wise decision though.
What happens when we lose calm?
we lose our sense of reasoning.
To remain peaceful in any given stressful situation is tough but we have to practice it to save our lives. It is said that many deaths occur due to fear rather than the cause itself.
Tips to remain calm during stressful situations
- start acting brave
- pacify your mind first and do not think about what would have happened if things had gone right because it would only help make you more depressed
- think ahead and what you should next to right things
- if it is beyond you, call the services like for example the police, fire or just any helpline number in your area
- connect with those who can help you
- forget the pain and feed yourself to get some energy boost, even if it is a liquid - drinking water is good and avoid coffee
- take a walk alone and force yourself to look around and observe the surroundings, it can help make you forget some pain at least
Life is not a bed of roses for all, I included. Please do not look up to successful individuals alone. Look around and observe the life of those who do not even have a house and consider yourself lucky.
God bless
