When everyone around you is stressed, how do you stay calm? Here’s one way to prevent the circumstances, people, and things around you to affect how you feel.

Consider:

• Nothing can touch your mind without your permission.
  • The negativity around you can only affect you is you allow it.
  • Focus on what you can do: listen to it, participate in it, or actively remind yourself of what is true and what else is possible.

• Try to impress on your surroundings, instead of the other way around.
  • Think of it like being an offence player, instead of the defence.
  • Actively put out your energy and focus on the best possibilities of a situation.

• Equip yourself by immersing yourself in material that is positive and reminds you of your best.
  • You focus on what you think about, and what you think determines what you feel.
  • Proactively feed your mind material that will help you to stay focused and feel your best, despite the circumstances you might find yourself in.
