Don’t Make a Mountain out of a Molehill

It’s very easy to lose perspective, especially if you're stressed and you're going too quick then a molehill can become an enormous and terrifying mountain in your mind. A simple three-step way to manage these situations so they don’t get out of hand is to: SAY STOP In your mind, shout “STOP!” or “NOPE, we are not going down that path again!” as soon as thoughts of this kind starts to spin in your head. BREATHE After you have interrupted the thoughts by shouting stop sit down and just be still. Breathe with your belly and focus on just your in-breaths and out-breaths for a minute or two to quiet your mind and body down. REFOCUS Question your mountain building thoughts by talking to someone close to you and getting a more grounded perspective on the situation by just releasing or by getting his or her input or just ask yourself this to widen your perspective and to chill out: Will this matter in 5 years? Or even in 5 Days? Stay Positive, it will be ok, look at the brighter side
