Composure is the ability in any, even tense, dangerous situation to maintain calmness, self-control, not to succumb to fear and emotions. In such cases, composure is simply irreplaceable and can serve a good service to a person. It will help him not to panic, clearly weigh all the solution options and choose the best one. In addition, such a person successfully avoids conflict situations at work and in the family circle.
Instructions
Step 1
One sage said, "All people are slaves to their emotions." So try not to be their slave. Even if you are a hot, explosive person by nature, do your best to control yourself, not to lose composure.
Step 2
Some people tend to over-dramatize what is happening around them. The most trifling problem, a nuisance that is not worth attention, deprives them of peace, it seems almost the end of the world. Therefore, they are in a hurry to respond, throw out their emotions, without noticing that this not only puts themselves in an awkward position, but also makes others nervous. If you are just such a person, make it a rule: first mentally say to yourself: “Stop! I will think about this problem again!"
Step 3
Your main task is to refrain from an immediate reaction, to show patience. You can first mentally say the phrase that you were going to say out loud, or mentally count to a certain number. These methods are good at soothing and, in some cases, help to keep from emotional outburst. At first it will be difficult for you to restrain yourself, then you will get used to it.
Step 4
Get used to looking at yourself from the outside. Many overly emotional people, fortunately, do not even realize how unattractive they look, reacting violently to any failure, hindrance, oversight (their own or someone else's). The thought that he will seem to someone ill-mannered, ignorant, hysterical, can shake and make any self-respecting person come to their senses.
Step 5
Even a calm, phlegmatic person finds it difficult to maintain self-control if, for example, there is constant hassle at work or if he is very tired. Try to streamline your daily routine, stay outdoors more, pay special attention to healthy, full sleep. If possible, take at least a short vacation.
Step 6
Much depends on relatives and friends: they should try to create a calm, comfortable, benevolent atmosphere at home, talk less about crime, diseases, disasters, politics, etc.
Step 7
Be sure to remember the times when you were able to successfully solve any problem, problem, while remaining calm. This will increase your self-esteem, instill confidence in your strengths and abilities, and at the same time help you learn composure.
