  1. We can't expect others to act or react the way we would. We should try to understand the other person's point of view.
  2. When someone upsets you with unkind words or thoughtless actions, stop, ask yourself, how does this REALLY affect me and my life?
  3. When we immediately react, we are being impulsive and this may make us feel better for a second, But is the problem solved?
  4. We will always have challenges.Our quality of life depends on whether we immediately react or do we take time to reflect and respond?
  5. When you choose to be upset, does anything ever get solved? So u tell someone off? So what? Has the problem gone away?
  6. Life is about choices. When you are upset about something, you choose to be upset. So why are you choosing to be upset?
  7. Next, you start thinking, what about the problem makes it a problem for you?
  8. So now you know the problem. Write it down and study it to make sure you have truly defined what you need to work on, it's OK to edit it.
  9. Be honest with yourself. YOU choose how you will react or respond to a situation. Don't give someone else control over you.
  10. You can only change you. If someone else is causing you to be upset, take a long look at you and identify your contribution to the issue.
  11. You say you feel anxious and lost. First ask yourself what is really bothering you? Try to identify the underlying issue.
