Navy SEAL’s Secret to Staying Chill Under Pressure

Ever wonder how Navy SEALs keep their cool when chaos hits? Mike Hayes, ex-SEAL Team Two boss, spills his go-to mental trick: focus only on the problems right in front of you, not the what-ifs. He also swears by rallying your team around a shared mission (not just the job) and says helping others is the fastest way to find your own purpose. Honestly, these are the kind of life hacks we all need! #Health #MentalHealth #Leadership

To a point, I agree with him about staying focused on the problem in front of me. But, what about when I get bombarded with multiple problems at the same time? Life can dish out allot of problems at the same time!

As a combat Rescue Pilot myself and crew deeply focused on the downed Pilot for a successful pickup. We had several scary pickups in Vietnam.

that's my own personal method to avoiding excessive stress. focus on the problem in front of you, work on the resolution, take a breath, only then move on to the next situation/problem/crisis. if you solve enough problems, your life gets a little better. there's always going to be another one coming, and that right soon, but that's what life is, an extended exercise in problem solving. enjoy.
