The Crisis Situation *Wise Dao*

When presented with a crisis situation remember to do the following:

1. Don't panic
Panic makes for bad decisions, plus enhances possibly dangerous situations. Remember in a crisis situation if you panic you could die, get hurt, or make the crisis worse.

2. Breath
Breathing provides the moment to relax in the situation, if you are relaxed and not rigid it will provide a way to become flexible to the situation. This also leads to the next step of clearing the mind.

3. Clear your mind
If one can clear the mind of all distractions of the emotions going on, then one can clearly start to think of valid solutions.

4. Bend with the crisis
Until a solution is formed bend with the crisis, work with it not against it. If the crisis is worked with then the solution has time to fruit.

5. Formulate the best possible solution
With the clear mind and the ability to bend with the crisis this allows for a formulation of a solution, although the solution may not occur at the beginning of the crisis, it will eventually be present during the crisis. Just never panic and wait for Opportunity, while constantly formulating plans.

6. Act according to the plan.
The only derivative of this is if a situation changes one must be able to adapt the plan quickly for the same results.

I believe many people out there does not understand handling a crisis situation very well. They were never taught the steps to handling it. The best defense is a strong educated mind.
