They always say: “Life is down to 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.” It\u2019s kind of a mind over matter job. What you allow to stress you out, will. If you’re feeling the stress, follow the below few steps. Hopefully it\u2019ll help…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Breathe<\/h3>\n

Sounds simple, but it\u2019s true. Take a few minutes of deep breaths to let the situation sink in. Or as my friend chants \u2018inhale confidence, exhale fear.\u2019<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t react<\/h3>\n

Okay, so some situations will require an immediate reaction. But not most of them. It\u2019s just like when you get an annoying email at work or your friend sends what seems like an \u2018arsey text.\u2019 Don\u2019t respond straight away. Your emotions will pour into it and you\u2019ll regret it later. If you\u2019re at work, go and make a brew or take a quick 3 minute breather. If it\u2019s something on your phone, turn it off for a little while.<\/p>\n

3. Is it the end of the world?<\/h3>\n

Yep, extreme, I know. But seriously. Put things into perspective. Is it the end of the world? So many horrible things happen on the daily in this world that you need to be realistic. Struggling to be level-headed? Ask your partner, your best friend or even your family. Sometimes people outside of the situation are the fresh set of eyes or ears you need.<\/p>\n

4. Ask yourself: “Will it matter by next week?”<\/h3>\n

With any stressful situation, ask yourself – will this situation matter in a day? Will it matter in a week? A month? A year? That\u2019s how you know the severity of it. Why worry yourself sick if it won\u2019t matter this time next year?<\/p>\n

5. Address it<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s like ripping off a band aid, or a plaster if you\u2019re British like me. After coming to terms, and going through the above, you gotta deal with it kid. Sometimes that means clearing the air, admitting you were wrong, apologising, maybe even waiting for an apology. The only real way to get closure is to address it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
