How do you keep your composure in stressful, public situations?

There were some amazing tips in this conversation.

 

Dr Bob Choat started this conversation by sharing a tactical breathing technique. Which I did not realize was the same thing as box breathing. Breathe in for a count of four. Hold for a count of four. Breathe out for a count of four. Hold for a count of four. Repeat.

 

Then Kali Regan took us straight into neuro science and gave us four high points for using emotional intelligence in our favor in stressful situations.

 

Lauren Schieffer,The Colonel’s daughter, shared that carrying a Q-tip will help you Quit Taking It Personally. (wow)

 

The thing we kept coming back to was that the better prepared you are the more likely it is that you will be able to keep your composure.

 

AND – if you realize you have lost it. Stop. Literally just stop. Take a break. Take a walk. Take a breath. You will never accomplish anything as long as you are not in control of yourself.

 

What do you do to help maintain your composure in stressful situations?
