Staying Calm has it Benefits

5 replies
The last few weeks have been a real pain for me in the areas of computers (see this post for more information).

Not only have I had problems with computers but the car has played up and then there were a whole lot of issues with work as well. By the 13th I was ready to explode and do my block completely.

Being frustrated and having to reformat the computer was not a good combination. The more I tried to force things to work the worse things got.

I went to bed on the 13th angry, stressed and suffering headache. I was so angry with what had been going on that I found it hard to sleep.

In the morning I decided that I would have one more try and if didn't work I would take it to somebody and pay to get things fixed, but I was not going to worry about the computer any more. I wasn't going to get angry or stressed. I was just going to remain calm and let things happen the way they wanted to.

Taking a deep breath sat down at the computer and started again with the reformatting. This time I noticed that I wasn't doing the right thing with the formatting and that was why it was playing up.

I had missed this the day early because I was too angry. By staying clam I was able to think more rationally and I was willing to take time to fix things and not rush them.

So when you get frustrated with what is going on, take some time out. Walk away from the problem, calm down and then come back looking at the situation with a different point of view.

What I have found over the years is, it is not what is happening that causes the problem, but how we react to it. If we can stay calm then you will have a better way of looking at and dealing with the problem.

Stay calm and relax and the answers will come.

    Great story Terry.

    For folks like us on this forum computer problems can be really foul indeed.
    Good lesson is to back up your important files. I like to use those cheap USB Flash drives. I see in the paper today that you can get a 3 Pack (4GB) of them for about $24. That's less than $8 each.

    Something like that can save you enormous headaches and anguish.

    Staying calm certainly does have its benefits indeed. In fact having a resilient clear thinking mindset is the subject of my new site due to launch in January.

    Have a great day Terry.

    Mobiusman talks about the Head Brain/Gut Brain system. Did you know you have two different brains?
