Everything is temporary, even this. Happiness is a result of your approach to life, not what happens to you. Accept, accept, accept. Stick to the present. Rather than worrying about the future or dwelling on the past, focus on what is actually happening now and what is actually in your power to do now. Take one step, then another. Even if they're just baby steps, keep moving. Look for the lesson. Challenging situations can often teach us what we have left to learn. Keep a positive attitude by remaining focused on solutions, skills, and strengths. Take care of yourself. Treat yourself with love and respect. Move your body, even if it's just walking for 10 minutes. Laugh. Help someone else in need. Give yourself a minute to regroup. Assess damages, sort out what can and cannot be done, or just get out of the middle of the situation.

When odd things happen, don't panic prematurely. Take home message: When odd things happen, don't panic prematurely. Distinguish between a bump in the road versus the end of the road. It's normal to experience frustrations and setbacks that require some extra work or take an emotional toll but don't actually significantly impact where you end up. Learn to recognize setbacks that are disappointing or frustrating, but that won’t prevent you from succeeding in the long run. Ask yourself what lesson you need to learn if any, and move on. If there are obvious lessons to learn from errors, make those adjustments, but recognize that in many situations there isn't a change you need to make, and there's no sense ruminating about it. Consider whether you need to do a quick debrief. Understand the level of talking about the stress that’s helpful to you, and do that. You can judge the helpfulness by whether your rumination about the topic increases or decreases after sharing your stress.
