Isn’t it everyone’s wish to keep their cool in stressful situations?

Deadlines looming, unexpected setbacks, and a to-do list that seems to grow its own to-do lists. And yet, you manage to remain calm and grounded.

Think about how much easier your life would be if you cracked the code to remaining undisturbed when shit hits the fan.

It almost sounds like a superpower.

Here are the habits of people who seem to remain calm and collected no matter what curveball life throws at them:

They Do Less

No, doing less doesn’t mean you lead a lazy or boring life.

You can do less and still work hard, make plans, and set goals. The secret is to drop the habit of making an unending list of tasks every day.

When you rush from one thing to another, you rob yourself of the opportunity to pause and appreciate life for what it’s really worth: the simple things.

And yes, I’m aware that landing a promotion, making more money, or receiving more recognition for your work are important things you justifiably strive to achieve. They are legit goals.
