Three Simple Ways to Mentally Prepare or Calm Yourself During a Stressful Situation
During a stressful situation, there are three simple ways to mentally prepare or calm yourself. First, be disciplined about what you think about in the lead-up to the event. Avoid stress-inducing thoughts and consume a healthy diet. Second, focus on evidence that you feel fine in the morning, even if you haven't slept well. Eat a protein-rich breakfast, get exposure to light, and engage in exercise to oxygenate your brain. Third, before the event, engage in success recalls, positive affirmations, and visualizations. Practice resonant breathing to activate a calming effect. Also, if panic sets in, perform a vagus nerve reset to regain composure. Finally, maintain a mindset that embraces your own capabilities, no matter the outcome of the situation.
