When there are emotions attached to fears that grip you, your neural pathways spiral, which produces chemicals to match a state and then POW!-anxiety. Blood starts pumping to your limbs, unless you just shut down, and your limbs are engaged for flight or fight.  That’s all well and good if one’s life is actually are being threatened, but when one is trying to go upside down in headstand, or just trying to avoid a gnarly person/situations at work or home, this response does little to provide support or solutions when clear-thinking is needed.  So what to do when one’s life is turned upside down?

1.  Let Go!  Expectations are so easy to disappoint and walk away feeling less than.   Let it go!  You’ll feel better.

2.  Patience.

3.  Align yourself internally.   If you cannot command your ship, with clarity or calmly, then you are relying on plain luck.

4.  Be compassionate and stop punishing yourself.  Positive thinking creates more strategic solutions than negative thinking.    

5.  Steady the course.  If you really want it.  Practice, practice, practice.
