HOW TO SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU'RE THREATENED

Sometimes you will be threatened for whatever reasons. People, situations, bad news, stress, unfamiliar surrounding, overwhelming intimidation from other people, unexpected events etc. You will be stunned, you will be shocked, you don't know what to say and how to react.

There is only one thing you should remember if you feel threatened... you are still alive. If you're still alive then there is nothing to worry about.

JUST BREATHE. Move in a very slow motion, pause for a while and always remember that you are still alive. This is life, you will always feel uncomfortable and if you are ok with that then any threats will never shake you.

Don't talk, just breath, don't react just think. Think of the best thing that you can do to improve your situation. If you don't need to move then don't move at all. Sometimes just being still will solve any tension.

It's life, there will be instances when something or someone will make you uncomfortable. It is what it is, you don't need to control everything. Just focus on what you can control. Just don't panic and everything will be alright. Focus on your emotions, all you need to do is forget thinking about what they are thinking. Focus on your own thoughts and you will feel invincible.

Always be aware if you are panicking or not, if you are panicking then stop. Don't do anything, make everything around you slow, remember that it's just emotions that is making you freak out and not what is happening around you. You have to control your emotions, emotions is everything, it will make you or break you.

It's ok to look stupid, always remember that. Look stupid for a few seconds and then try to make your emotions a little bit better and a little bit better. It can only be achieved by trying to stay calm, aware and confident. Breathe deeply and slowly, condition your mind that it is life and everything that is happening is just a challenge. Remember that you don't always need to win, you just need to make yourself feel better. What they say and what they do is none of your business, your only goal for the moment is to protect yourself and feel good.
