Do You Collapse In A Crisis?

By Lyndsay S @lyndsinreallife

Most of us would probably like to say that we were pretty good in any kind of crisis situation. After all, the idea of being the one person who’s able to keep their head when everyone else is losing there’s is a pretty nice idea. However, it’s fair to say that most of us are probably not quite as composed under pressure as we would like to think. Which raises the question, if you are normally the kind of person who totally crumbles when they’re in a crisis, what can you do in order to deal with those kinds of things more effectively? With that in mind, here are some things that you can do in order to stop yourself from collapsing when everything goes wrong.

Think inPracticalTerms

One of the best things that you can possibly do when it comes to taking a lot of stress and panic out of any kind of crisis is to stop thinking about it in terms of emotions entirely. Instead, think about it in purely practical terms where possible. Think of any kind of crisis as a problem with a solution, rather than something awful happening to you. If you’re in an accident, then think about things like insurance claims, hiring attorneys, and getting justice instead of focusing on how unfair it was that this happened to you. The same applies to everything from getting fired to getting sick. If you can think about the practical stuff and deal with that first, you’ll have a whole lot less emotional fallout to worry about.

Take Your Time

One of the most common instincts, when things go wrong, is to run around trying to fix it as quickly as possible. Now, dealing with things right away is a good thing, but if you’re getting to the point where you’re running around trying to put out all of the fires at once, you’re just going to end up causing yourself far more stress and upset that is unnecessary. Take your time and think things through before you dive in.

Ask for Help

As much as it would be nice to say that you’re the kind of person who can deal with any problem on their own, you really don’t need to. The truth is that there are always going to be people out there who are willing to lend you a hand when you need it most. From friends and family, to trained professionals, there really is no need for you to try and take everything onto your own shoulders.

The truth is that there will always be times when something will come out of nowhere and send you reeling, that’s just the nature of the world that we live in. However, if you can understand the right ways to deal with emergencies and crises, then you’re going to be far less likely to end up panicked and confused when things go wrong. Just remember that for every problem, there is a solution. You just have to be able to find it.
