Ever have one of those days where you feel like all you're doing is putting out fires? You lock yourself out of your apartment, there's a hiccup with technology you depend on, or someone didn't honor a commitment?
You can bet money those days will occur throughout your life no matter how many contingency plans you've mentally mapped out. It's just a integral part of life.
The good news is we can control how we react. We can choose to keep our poise and not give into feeling flustered. We may not instantly have a clear sense of how to resolve a particular issue, but by tempering the role emotion plays we can at least set the foundation for digging ourselves out.
Perspective is rarely, if ever, gained while worked up. Keep your cool.
