4 Ways to Survive Unexpected Situations
Expert advice for maintaining your confidence and finding a positive outcome.

Content: When you are in the middle of a difficult situation, instead of assuming it won’t work out, think about the things you have already been through and ask yourself, " What did I do to get through those events?" Knowing your own strength is important for self-confidence. If focusing on your strong qualities doesn’t come naturally, ask someone who knows you well to give you a boost. When you redirect your attention from a problem to the knowledge that you're able to handle it, you will start to feel better. 1. Garland, E. L., Fredrickson, B., Kring, A. M., Johnson, D.
