People are suffering from different situations like financial losses, job loss, a broken relationship, or economic breakdown. Around 30 million people are suffering from anxiety and depression in the United States of America. But you can master the art of how to handle yourself in tough situations.

Embrace life with positiveness and bring in love, and motivation to lead towards success. If you focus on these ways to handle yourself in difficult situations, you can survive any pandemic situation in your life.

Face the Situation

Not everyone faces the situation with courage and deal with politeness. Avoiding the current situation will multiply the problem and it will eventually come back to you in a more penetrating manner in the longer run. Braveheart people always face the situation head-on-head and sleep tight after solving the problem.

Keep Up a Backup Plan

You should always be ready with Plan B. If you have a backup plan, you can always face the situation with courage as you know that you are safe. If in a situation you know that you can't fix, you at least can brainstorm potential ways to cope with the situation. A little bit of financial stability, medical insurance, job security, and basic needs like (Food / Shelter / Clothes & support) can keep you confident towards life.

Don't Shy, Seek for Help

Everybody falls in situations and need to help some or other day. You know that you are strong and courageous and may hesitate to seek help. Don't be afraid seeking for health even if it is just a shoulder to cry. Nobody is going to gauge how deep your wounds are until you tell them your part of the story.

Bring the New You

Change is the law of nature. Test yourself, challenge your limits, and change what you can. If you are unable to identify what's good or bad in you, you can definitely seek help from your friends or relatives as per calmsage. You may need to change your outlook toward things, your nature, your behaviour, or maybe your attitude towards people. You must be dealing with the loss of a family member but remember you can't bring him back. You can only long to cope with the situation.

Don't Try to Make Everything Right

There are things that are not in our control. You should stop wasting your time and energy on things that you can't change. You can't change your past and you can't promise your future. But what you can do is, to live the moment. You may be your own superhero, but you are not the God who can make things right. So, stop struggling with impossibilities in life.

Regulate Your Feelings

Who says that men don't cry? The fact is either they cry in dark or they have mastered the art of regulating their feelings. How to handle yourself is all dependent on your feelings. You should learn the skill to cope with your feelings and deal with the negativity within the self. Dealing with anxiety, depression, frustration, sadness may be a tough task for you, but if you master the art of regulating your feelings, you are a winner.

Find the Good in Bad

Every situation we have something good or bad in it. It totally depends on your outlook towards the situation the way you look at it. Even a failure teaches you how not to do it. Always focus on what you can gain out of the situation instead of creeping on what you have lost. If you dwell the positive outlook in your life, your thought process will change to see positivity in everything.

Set Priorities in Your Life

It's we, who can set the rules and priorities in our life. You should know what you want, how you want, and when you want instead of just believing in your luck. Set your priorities and run towards your goal without looking back. You should not worry about what you are losing on the way, instead focus on what you are going to achieve. Always handle yourself with care and don't forget to shower love on self as self-care can help a lot.

Follow Your Idol Person

Whenever you are in a situation always think about your Idol person. Think of possible solutions what your Idol person could have done in this situation. If possible, consult with your ideal person and look for a solution to your problem.

There is Always a New Day

Whenever things are not in your favour letter passed by the night. A new day will bring new hopes and new ways to get the things done. Handle yourself in difficult situations and there is always a new start after a foul end. Maybe things are not right in your favour today, but who knows tomorrow it turns out to be a blessing for you.

Focus on One Problem at a Time

It's okay if you are not able to solve all the problems, at least you are trying. You just need to start working on one problem at a time. Multitasking is not the way you would want to apply here. The past is gone, focus on the current situation. If you are able to handle the situation today, tomorrow will automatically be fine.

Summing Up

I hope you try these ways to handle yourself in difficult situations and these tips work for you in every massive situation. It is true that there is a difference between suggesting and solving things, but these tips are proven solutions to every problem that you may encounter. Think of superheroes as you are one for someone in your life and just focus on how to handle yourself in a situation like a superhero. Things are going to be pleasant!

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
