I don't say to myself: "Quick, take a pen,

So, what I try to do, because it doesn't mean that you have to be passive, but what I try to do... It happened to me recently, I had a stress, 'well a period of stress linked to a technique. So, it concerns Authentic French, but it's technical. So, it's not necessarily useful for me to give you all the details. I had a moment of stress and I had to, therefore, find solutions, how we are going to resolve this slightly delicate technical problem that stresses me out a lot, because the members who were affected were members who paid a subscription to the academy, so, how can we make sure that they don't have a bad experience and that everything works well.
And so, the first thing I do is I wait. think", no, I say to myself: "Wait, breathe. So, you wait a little, you breathe, you're going to walk". That's literally what I do, I go out, I say to Céline: "I have to go out a little here, I have to think, I have to think". There you go, I go out. The fact of getting moving, of thinking, well, not thinking too much at first, but getting moving, breathing, waiting, well that already allows us to... you see, to make sure that our rational brain takes over again, so that the oxygen stops going to the emotional part of the brain, but that it comes to the rational part in fact. The idea is to gain perspective to limit emotions and to gain clarity, to have clearer ideas, quite simply. This is important.
So, I do that, I walk. So, I try not to put anything on my ears. Sometimes, I just put on the headphones with noise reduction mode. It depends where I am, but if there are cars around, I put the headphones on, I walk and I try not to necessarily think about a solution, but I breathe. I try to think long term because it's always the right thing to do, right? I say to myself: "Well, let's think long term. What will I think about this problem in a day, in a week, in a month, in a year?" And 9 times out of 10, in fact, this problem will stress me out for a day or a week. So, sometimes, I say to myself: "Oh yeah, tomorrow, I'll think about it. In a week, it will be complicated again. In a month, it will be solved. In a year, it will be forgotten." So, I try to gain perspective like that by thinking long term.
Then I'm... When I come home, I take my journal and I follow a little process that I read in a book by Dale Carnegie, How to Free Yourself from Stress and Worry , where I actually ask japan whatsapp number data myself a few questions. I say to myself: "Why am I worrying?" because the first thing is to clearly define what the problem is. You can't solve a problem that you haven't defined. So here it is: "Why am I worrying? What's going on?"
Then: "What's the worst that can happen?" So, I don't know, it could be in the example I used earlier, well, these people who are members of the academy don't have access to their content or they decide to unsubscribe or... that's it. I'm trying to imagine what the worst could be.
Then I accept it, but I really, sincerely accept it. I say to myself: "Well OK, they lost their access, it pissed them off, they left the academy. That's how it is, I can't change it anymore, so I accept it."
Once I've done that, I say to myself: "Well, what can I do now?" You see, we actually start... First, we define the worst and we start from the worst. "What can I do to try to improve or resolve the situation?" Then, I say to myself: "Here's what I'm going to do." So, I put together a little action plan. It could be calling a technician to help me, it could be looking in the system and doing this action. So, I make a little list of actions, an action plan.
And then, "When am I going to start?" I try to start as soon as possible. For example, go into the system today, make an appointment with the technician and talk to him tomorrow, that's it. I have a plan of action.
