1. Familiarize yourself with the situation
Practice will help to familiarize yourself with the new situation. However, it's not that we can practice and practice. Sometimes the important things in life, you can only do it once and once only. There's no second chance or third chances either because the consequences are hard to bear with or simply that there are no more occurrences.
2. Don't aim for perfection
If you do not aim for 100%, the stress level would be reduced but not eliminated. That should help a great deal in certain situation. I think for a perfectionist, anything less than perfect is unacceptable. I would say that I used to be a perfectionist, but it's such a miserable to be one and it's miserable to be near one, and so, I have to change. Try my best and let god do the rest, I always say.
3. Make light of the consequence
Perhaps the consequence isn't that bad, if you think more in depth about it. Okay, maybe not in depth, but philosophically about it. Life has many forks and just because the pathway you chose is blocked doesn't mean you can't get back to the same path through another lane. I think understanding that most decisions are small and insignificant towards the really important things in life would help to alleviate that stress.
I'll try to remember that 'stressed' spelt backwards is 'desserts'.

Life is about overcoming obstacles and nobody usually has a life that is plain sailing.
However, when adversities seem overwhelming, it may be worthwhile to take a step back, perhaps consider lowering expectations or recognising that things cannot be perfect and has to be accepted as it is.
Dispel anger and animosity.If it is something not within your control, then do not stoke self-hatred or hatred for others, for it is self punishment for others' misdeeds or circumstances not due to your own fault. Accept and move on and may inner peace be with you.
Hi financialray,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. That's very good advice.
oh what did you know, i too was a perfectionist! and i cant change it.
and you are absolutely right, its painful and frastrated to be one. you just have to learn to let go and relax.
but you will do well in what you like the most.
Hi LP
One day at a time.
Count your blessings.
Remember to do deep breathing!
Be well and prosper.
hi bully the bear. hope to know you. wanna have a meal.
Hey LP, everything seems very trivial in the grand scheme of things. Maybe you disagree, but i remember how important i thought PSLE was at that stage of my life, now looking back it just seems so insignificant. Hopefully it'll be the same in the future :)
AO
I always remember this saying when times get tough - "When times are bad, dont lose your heart, when times are good, dont lose your head"
Hi coconut,
You are a perfectionist too? haha, it's going to be hard being a perfectionist and a trader, so I heard :)
I agree, we have to learn to let go. Just like flying a kite, sometimes, you have to let it go to allow the kite room to fly higher.
Hi PG,
Thanks bro, I'll take it one step at a time :)
Hi kmcoaching,
U serious?
Hi ao,
Yes..in the view that we're insignificant in the bigger scheme of things, that is indeed humbling.
I am very sure looking back, things are not as important as we deem it to be at the present moment.
Hi waf (what are futures),
I like that quotation. Thanks for sharing it with me :)
oh yes its hard to be a trader, almost give up at one point.
but once i pass the hurdle and be more relax and a "don't care" attitude, its like flying a kite.
I will forever be indebted to the great Doctor AKHIGBE for fixing my broken marriage after my husband left me for 6 months. I never believed in spells until my close friend introduced me to him. At first, I was skeptical about him because I heard a lots about false spell casters but I put my doubts behind me for i was desperate to get my husband back and I did according to what he instructed me to do. Now my husband is back just within 48 hours of contacting him. I'm living happily with my husband again after 6 months of divorce and I will not rest till he's known all over the world. He's also specialize in sickness spells. Get connected with Doctor AKHIGBE now, his email is drakhigbespellhome7@gmail.com or WhatsApp on +2349021374574 and I said I must let any email I see on net must know about this because am very happy .
