How to stay calm during crisis and avoid panicBY: David Prakash Kumar | Category: Self Improvement | Post Date: 2009-07-06
Staying calm during crisis is not something that everyone can do. Many people get jittery and most people panic and cause more damage during crisis. So how are the people who stay calm at times of calamity and disaster able to maintain their composure? It is obvious that they do not panic. We may not be specially trained to fight panic situations as are soldiers, doctors and people of other such professions who face many situations that are very scary. They are facing situations of life and death crisis stress every day. The situation may be no less different for many other professions. But they have certain amount of training at some point in their career or are at least used to facing many such situations that they are used to it and are able to face it with calm. For all of us who are not ready to face crisis situations, here are a few methods of getting ready to face any kind of stressful situation. 1. Learn CPR and first Aid: There may be many people who may fall ill around us or we may be in the middle of a disaster zone. So knowing about cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid will always be a useful asset. 2. Imagine the worst: In situations where you are caught in the middle of an accident or other such situations, imagine the worst and take appropriate precautions and actions. Plan what you need to do. 3. Practice makes you perfect: People who were trained to deal with crisis situations were all rookies at one point of time. So try to practice your response to various kinds of disasters. Of course, it is not like a real life and death situation, but at least something is better than nothing. 4. Determine risks and benefits: For every action that you take in a crisis situation, there will be certain benefits and certain risks, so you have to determine if the benefits outweigh the risks and take appropriate action. 5. Prioritize: As you make decisions, there will also be a need to prioritize certain aspects. So these decisions also need to be taken quickly and also be acted upon quickly. This is true especially in situations like accidents where there may be many injured people. You should be able to identify which person needs more care. There may also be decisions like you may be able to rescue only the fittest to make their chances of survival better. These are difficult decisions, so following the above principles will at least make you prepared in case you are in such a situation.
