WHAT TO DO IN A CRISIS
Whenever you face a stressful situation, your brain sends alarm signals to your body and causes your heart to beat faster and your muscles to tense in preparation for immediate action. However, this reaction can often prevent us from thinking clearly about the best thing to do.
A good skill you can develop is the ability to react calmly in a crisis. By being aware of your body’s stress response and training yourself to ignore that initial flood of emotions, you can make decisions based on clear-headed analysis.
1 Remember to breathe - this is easy to forget when you are alarmed or enraged. And breathe deeply! A calmer body helps create a calmer mind.
2 Focus on the moment – don’t think about what should have been done differently. Concentrate on solving the immediate problem.
3 Think positively – positive self-talk in a crisis is often helpful. For example, telling yourself how brave you are can help you overcome your fear.
