In a stressful situation, you need to be able to pull yourself together in time in order to overcome the onset of excitement. This skill will come in handy in the future and will help you stay calm during quarrels, important speeches, and even exciting declarations of love.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember how Agnia Barto said: "To quickly come to your senses, count in your mind to thirty"? The advice is sensible, because because of your own irascibility you can offend an innocent person. Instead of counting, you can close your eyes and slowly inhale air through your nose until you feel that your lungs are full of it. Hold your breath for a second, then exhale slowly through your nose. Take two more breaths to calm down completely. It only takes 2-3 minutes, but the result will be.
Step 2
At a responsible event, where dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes are looking at you, even a professional actor or orator can get confused. Have you made a reservation? Apologize or fend off. If you feel insecure and anxious about missing, take a short break to take a sip of water, for example. During this time, find several people among the audience who are listening to you. Continue with their attentive gaze. After all, not everyone supports your point of view, someone is indifferent to it, and someone, perhaps, is already tired of listening to you. So why waste energy on those who are not interested in you?
Step 3
Perhaps your life is calm and stable, but you are stressed by the so-called calm before the storm? Take a bath, add a few drops of lavender essential oil and soak in the fragrant water for 10-15 minutes. Go to bed earlier than usual, try to get enough sleep. In 4-5 prominent places, place stickers with life-affirming phrases to help you calm down. Drink a glass of water instead of coffee and a cigarette.
Step 4
Learn to skillfully apply your own sense of humor. After all, laughter not only brings people closer, but also warms, helps to relax. A person cannot laugh if he is angry or tense. Do not be afraid at least from time to time to laugh at yourself or "dilute" the prolonged silence with a good joke.
