When I encounter stressful situations, my first thought is to remain calm. Getting worked up and frustrated only serves to increase negative stress. Negative stress is destructive, and I choose to remain on the positive side of life at all times.
When I am calm, I am able to reason more effectively. The ability to reason allows me to find a way out of the stressful situation.
I am able to tackle the stress and find a solution to the source of the challenge.
I realize that stressful situations help mold me into a stronger person. Rough times make me stronger, and that prepares me to handle tough situations in the future.
Today, my aim is to remain calm even when I feel like being reactive. I know that there is always an answer and I can only find it if I am mentally focused.
Self-Reflection Questions:
Choose any area you want to work on, print the affirmation or carry it on your phone. Every time you think of it, repeat it... verbatim if you are reading it, or as well as you can remember it. It doesn't have to be perfect, you are simply reinforcing the new belief in your subconscious mind... over and over again!
