If you are struggling to stay positive about something chances are you are feeling stressed. The on his stress might be the result of uncertainty about the situation/person/project or any number of other reasons for stress in the moment.

The fastest way to take charge of stress is by doing something that involves your senses; take a walk, listen to music, be creative, cook something…anything that you find soothing that will distract you from your serving thoughts right now. If you do not have any time, go to the loo and take a couple of deep breaths that will help you break the vibe you.

Come back to the situation and take another look at it.
