How to settle your nerves in a difficult situation.

Sometimes you find yourself in a state of worry or panic. When your hands are freezing, your lost in the deep wood, first few days adaptations, your vehicle malfunctions - whatever. Relax. Force your tongue into the whole roof of your mouth and continuously breath through your nose - it will help and calm you. Make decisions and stick to them and say to yourself - relax - its going to be O.K. You have made it this far in life. Taking care of your physical health in the form of nutritious food is important too. 

Breath through your nose and pull in air by relaxing your diaphragm and gut, not expanding your chest; this is deep abdominal breathing and will relax the area around your adrenals and slow down your sympathetic nervous system (in charge of flight or fight) making you calmer and psychologically equipped to handle stress; practice this breathing at all times. Breathing properly (through your nose) is merged with tongue posture. To properly nose breath and have good health and body posture, you need good tongue posture; to do this, you should keep your whole tongue, from the back to tip, on the roof of your mouth except when speaking or eating. Creat a lock a vacume in the back of you pr mouth to lift your tongue. You also must keep your mouth shut and teeth touching (near clenched). Most people havent done this through life so thier face is too small to accommodate their full tongue resting on the upper part of the mouth: start from scratch and make sure that at all times at least the fat back part of the tongue is pressed up on the roof; the front tip will likely have to be curld down to your lower jaw area but should still run the full surface of the roof of your mouth; all this, pluggs the airway that is the mouth (but keeps the fat part from plugging the airway wich runns from the nose behind it), puts pressure on your upper pallet, ensures good ovel all facial development (especially if you start young), and helps ultimately to maintain focus under pressure.

Another tip, is to focus on the tasks that need to done and complete them in order of importance in a methodical and deliberate way. Focus and work when you feel like giving up. Think and work and just do the best you know how.

Know that it's a different jungle out there, particularly if you are newish to the climate and or scene. 

Don't give up on realty and dont rely on faith.
