1 – Moderate the information:
The hyper (devote excessive time to reading newspapers, or watching television and listening to the radio) generates anxiety and stress. It works by way of a drug, so we cannot “Take” of the news waiting for the latest information. It is a vicious circle that is necessary to cut not to continue feeding these states harmful.

2- Limit the encounter with pessimistic people:
Those who are permanently focused on the difficulties and problems we spread their state. Of course this does not mean fail to help those who suffer, but to change mechanical relationship that are not helpful. As a counterpart is very reassuring feed links with people more open to other possibilities, optimistic and creative.

3- Recalled that there is always a departure:
Remove from our attention to the thoughts of the type “there is no exit” or “I am between the sword and the wall”. Remember that there is always a possible way out, although it is not that exactly want. Find it, many times, depends on our open-mindedness and mood rather than of external reality.

4- Say No to fear and anxiety of the environment:
Far from help, fear and anxiety, when they become permanent emotions, we paralyzed, But justify and we seem natural. Say phrases such as “how I am not going to be anxious, with the things that pass” and it is so that these emotions collective are transformed into an obstacle very strong to overcome. Not only is what happens in the external world but also how “we read” the reality, what we do with it and -hence- how we felt before the crisis.

5 Revalue the emotional links:
The emotional contact with the couple, children, friends and all those who want, it is a food invaluable and a great help in times of crisis. Together with many people stressed and aggressive is also increasing, little by little, the number of people kind, thoughtful and prompt the contact and exchange gentile. It also serves, and much, participation in groups of all kinds: of practice of corporal work groups, literary, artistic, of spiritual practice, etc.

6- Do projects:
It is important away from the idea “you cannot make any project”, even if the economic projects we are -by the time- closed or very limited. There are numerous projects that can address, even without money, either individual projects -how to make a work of art or improve our physical aspect- or collective – are in neighborhood groups, places of community participation or simply joining a group of friends with a common goal-.

7- Work the internal world:
The I Ching, one of the books oldest of humanity written by wise Chinese, referred to in some of their tickets to the moments of crisis, for example, in one known as “The Impediment”. At a time of impediments, of danger, the I Ching argues that “The exit that leads outside of the impediments is the dump inwards and improve the own be”, the formation of character. That is why in times of crisis nothing better than the reading, the study, the reflection or directly the practice of disciplines seeking progress interior as tai chi, meditation, the chi kung, or the yoga. Such practices we connected again with life, replete with facts as simple and wonderful as breathing, see birth a flower or listen to the laughter of our children.
