Setbacks in life come with a form of emotional strain. They leave you with feelings of shame, guilt, sadness, and anger. You feel overwhelmed, defeated, incapable, and lost. You become encompassed in doubt. Severe anxiety and stress can cause long-term damage to your health.

Every adversity and difficulty does not come to make you weak. If you introspect you can uncover a higher purpose and deeper meaning secretly attached to the adverse situation.

"Pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them"- Rumi

Many of the world's top achievers could not have reached their level of success without learning how to stay extremely calm in hard times. You can keep moving forward no matter what the situation is by remaining calm, positive, and motivated.

"Problems are not stopping signs they are guidelines"-Robert Schullers.

Here are some tips to help you keep your cool in life's difficult situations. These tips can help you feel more empowered to handle many difficult situations:

1. Don't react immediately: Don't panic. Be patient and ask yourself, is this going to matter a year from now? Sometimes situations may not be as serious as you are thinking it to be. This perspective will help you remain less emotional and can improve your ability to make correct decisions.

2. Take care of yourself: You will be better equipped to handle a crisis if you take care of your body, mind, and soul. Eat a balanced diet, exercise, go for a walk and meditate regularly. Meditation can make you stable and powerful even in the most difficult situation. Meditation if done correctly and practiced regularly can provide some insight into your future course of action.

3. Express gratitude: Count your blessings and be grateful for what you have in life. If you have a roof over your head, food on your table, clothes in a closet, have a bed to sleep in and a supporting family you are richer than most of the world population. Many people struggling day and night to have these things.

"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance"-Eckhart Tolle

4. Reach out to your support system: When you reach out to your support system, to people you trust, that security will help you to control your stress and anxiety. When you explain your situation, you might discover a new approach or solution to your problem.

5. Help someone: By making a difference in someone else's life you will feel happy and it can be a great way to gain confidence. It could be some small help to anybody maybe to a stranger.

6. Accept the situation: Don't try to resist, live in the present so that you will be able to approach the situation with a better perspective.

"Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on"- Eckhart Tolle

Nothing is permanent in this world. Your hard times and difficulties are also not permanent. This too shall pass and when it does you will be stronger and capable than ever before.
