A friend of mine was unfortunately involved in “a storm in a tea cup” situation which at times seemed to go out of control in a disproportional way.
It affected him adversely and he asked me for advice on the right mentality and attitude in such a situation.
What popped up in my mind is the term (based on a TV series) “Grace under Fire”.
Let us explore how to handle it.
First, keep a distance from the “fire”. A bit of a common sense similar to facing a real fire. Get away from it!
Here I meant to take a step back and “breathe” a bit. At the heat of the moment, we tend to make the wrong decisions out of our emotions (mostly hardwired to the negative energy unfortunately).
Move away physically or go to a place with minimum association with the situation so we can be calmer to think it through.
