INTELLECTUALS ACADEMY (authentic IELTS)

Staying calm in tough situations is about managing your stress response. Here's how: • Breathe: Deep, slow breaths calm your nervous system. • Focus: Shift your attention to the present moment. What can you control right now? • Challenge: Are your thoughts helpful or harmful? Replace negative thoughts with more realistic ones. • Support: Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or therapist.

Sharing your feelings can help.

• Grounding: Use your senses to connect to the present. Notice sounds, smells, or textures. • Act: Choose actions based on logic, not fear. • Learn: After the storm, reflect on what you learned and how you can improve your response next time. Remember, you're not alone, and you're stronger than you think.
