Don't act in an impulsive and emotional way
According to the Brian Tracy blog, humans have an instinctive tendency to react to unexpected and critical situations in an emotional way. If your reactions are impulsive, you activate the instinctive and biological reaction to stress. You won't be able to think clearly and you can easily fall into despair. Always, when facing a crisis, try to stop, think about what you to do, and try to act rationally.
Divide problems into smaller, manageable chunks
If you are facing a large, overwhelming problem, it's obvious that it's not easy to keep up an optimistic attitude. If you are dealing with a complex problem, always divide it into smaller, manageable parts. Define these parts, understand them, and deal with them one by one.
Plan ahead and have crisis plans ready
The best way not to fall into despair is to be ready for crises. If you have things under control, your outlook improves significantly. Always plan processes and plans for critical situations that may occur in the future, and if they do occur, you will have a plan ready to proceed, which will give your motivation and attitude a great boost.
Don't take anything personally
Of course, during any crisis we tend to think about what should have been done differently and how the situation could have been avoided. Often people start blaming themselves. Even though self-reflection and the ability to learn from mistakes are important steps in self-development, you should maintain a detached attitude and avoid taking things personally.
