How do some people stay calmer under pressure much better than others?

Would you like to become one of those people?

We all have a different tolerance for stress, but with practice, you can become much more resilient in the face of adversity.

Dealing with stressful situations is part genetics and part skill. You can’t do anything about your genes, but you can enhance your skills.

Practice these techniques. Learn to handle stress:

Take care of your body.

A calm mind is best supported by a healthy body. What does that mean?

Eating well.

Getting enough sleep.

Getting plenty of exercise.

When your body is out of sorts, your mind is not at its most resilient.

Take care of your body, because it’s the foundation of a durable, stress-resistant mind.

Make one small improvement in your diet each week. Experiment with your sleep schedule. Exercise daily in some meaningful way.

These three simple things matter more than you might realize.

Practice your breathing.

Your breathing is the only aspect of your physiology you can easily control. There are plenty of breathing techniques you can try when you’re feeling stressed.

Simply take long, slow, deep breaths.

Inhale for six seconds, hold it for three seconds, and exhale for nine seconds.

Breathe normally and keep your full attention on your breath. Feel the air moving in and out of your body.

There’s many breathing techniques designed to help people relax. Do some research and give several a try. See which style of breathing works best for you.

Allow your body to relax.

When you feel stressed, a part of your body is stressed, too. Find that tense, uncomfortable part of your body and focus on relaxing it. In fact, do your best to relax your entire body.

Keep your focus on the positive.

Usually, there’s a positive aspect to any negative situation. Look for the positive and your brain will feel more at ease.

Most of us focus on the negative and ignore the positive. Do the opposite and feel the calm.

When adversity strikes, that’s when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on.

Focus on solutions.

Focusing on problems is very stressful. Focusing on solutions is less stressful.

If there’s a solution, there’s no reason to worry.

If there’s not a solution, there’s no value in worrying.

Basically, there’s never a benefit to worrying.

Manage your thoughts.

Do you imagine the worst when something negative happens?

Do you sit and ruminate on your difficulties?

Managing your head space is necessary to stay calm regardless of the situation.

Are your thoughts helping you to remain calm or creating stress?

Most people imagine the worst and their brains and bodies respond accordingly.

Try putting your attention on your breathing until you feel calmer and then begin looking for solutions.

Take cold showers or baths.

Some people take a cold shower or bath each day to diminish their stress response. If you can handle a 50-degree bath, you can handle just about anything.

Take action.

When you’re assertive in dealing with negative issues, you’re taking control.

Sitting around and thinking is a passive activity. Only think long enough to find a good solution and then get busy implementing it.

Activity helps to dissipate stress, building confidence and optimism.

Stress is unavoidable, but your ability to manage stress can be greatly enhanced with effort.

You might be surprised by how stress resistant you can become.

When you can handle more stress with greater comfort, you empower yourself to make positive changes in your health, career, relationships, and happiness.

Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health.
