How to handle something unexpected

When good things come our way, we look forward to something that we did not anticipate.

But what about when you are up against a roadblock that you didn't anticipate. How do you handle that scenario?

This calls for "poise under pressure." Ask yourself, "What can I do to handle the situation, do I need to call upon others for help? What can't I change, and thus have to let go of?" These questions will come in handy.

If you let excessive worry take hold, it will escalate the stress you already feel. So, remember to practice deep breathing, and instead of rushing in to fix "it", pause and reflect.  From that position you are apt to take the next right action.
