  • Remember to be the casual, relaxed person in every situation who tells others not to worry. Being calm is contagious.

  • Be that person who instills calm not by force but by example. Try to remove your fear, replace it with confidence, and don’t be a liability.

  • To do that, understand your reality, learn your stress triggers, pause, breathe and think about the situation before reacting.
