It's Been Emotional

I've got some advice for you...

"Assume that the worst is going to happen!"

What? Is Gary going all negative on you?

Well...no, actually.

You see, I only gave you part of the sentence. What it should read is...

"Assume that the worst is going to happen...so that you will always be prepared for it!"

I'm not for a moment saying that you should be PLANNING for something NOT to work.

What I mean is that...when things do go wrong (which, let's face it...sometimes it seems quite often!) then, if you are prepared to accept that on the odd ocassion they will...then your emotions won't get in the way.

By not gettting all worried, stressed, angry, or whatever...you will be more easily able to take a deep breath...and step back for a moment to rationally see how you can deal with it.

I suppose that I am fortunate (thanks, mum)...that I very rarely let anything 'get to me'...and am able to calmly make decisions under pressure...but I know that you may not be like that.

So...by accepting that, every now and again there will be a 'spanner in the works'...you will be able to deal with SOLVING the problem rather than REACTING to it.

Most problems can be solved by some steady, focused thinking followed by action...which unfortunately stressed people never seem to be able to do if they are screaming and shouting about how 'nothing goes right' for them.

So...take a deep breath...relax...
