First, start with basics, try to control yourself. Although it may appear difficult to do, controlling yourself and emotions is actually quite easy. Self-talk, for instance, is one of the most powerful ways to have control over yourself. If you viewed a stressful situation as a challenge rather than a threat and told yourself that with a bit of effort you will be able to get through it, that would make everything go easier for you. In addition, reminding yourself that how you feel towards everything is a choice that you make, will help in feeling more confident and in control of the situation. The next step is to exchange your attitude with gratitude. When something stresses you happen, instead of giving a negative reaction, analyze it first. If it were something you can solve, explore positive ways to handle it in the most flexible way. On the other hand, if it were more serious, accept it as it is. Accepting isn’t as giving up.
