Sometimes, situations spring up and panic sets in. We begin to pace, walk around, make decisions not properly thought through, and stress a whole lot. And guess one of the worst things you can tell someone who is upset and panicking?

Calm Down. Lol

However, it is important that we train our minds to be calm in every situation. Most times, when things go wrong and we hurry to take action, we make the wrong decisions, sometimes, with results worse than what is making us panic. I like to be calm. I do not like panicking and in as much as I know how to work under pressure, I'd rather not.

 Here is what I do when situations that cause panic, happen.

1 - I talk to God/Journal. 
He is my peace. He comforts me and with him, I am assured everything is going to turn out fine. I simply say  ''God, see what is happening o. See what your girl has gotten herself into. I really need you to come through for me. He always does
Hebrews 13:6 - So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say, 'The Lord is my Helper in time of need, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

2 - Ask myself what the worst scenario is. 
Play all different scenarios in my head and try to picture the impact each will have. That calms me down a whole lot.

3- Own it. 
If panic sets in because of something I did or did not do (that I was supposed to do), I own all possible consequences and take responsibility

4- Escalate 
If something happens at work and it is above my pay grade, lol, I escalate to my bosses. If it is above my personal pay grade (lool), I talk to my loved ones

Jos, the city that raised me

Image credit: CometoNigeria.com I think losing a loved one in a crisis is one of the differences between having and losing hope in humanity. Imagine going to work and returning home, cut up into tiny pieces, in a sack to your family. How about being surrounded by an army of men shouting while feverishly pouring petrol around your home with your family in it. As the lighter comes on, you watch your past, present and any possible future, go up in flames before you shut your eyes for the last time. I had witnessed unforgettable experiences during the 2001 crises in Jos, Nigeria, but despite this, I never lost hope in humanity but I think most people did. The first and only time I’ve seen a bullet was when my father boldly took a stroll a few blocks from our house. The crises had been brewing for days and all residents were relegated to a 24-hour curfew. We had been indoors for a week and my father was curious to know the status of things after the fight the night before, as the

3 rd and final part of “but I was just 14. Aunty ini lived in the heart of Calabar that was where all the activity took place. She was so happy to see me and was very hospitable. Her house was very big and she looked very wealthy unlike how she was in primary school. I found out that she went back to the university after she left my primary school to get a degree in medicine. She was now a medical doctor at an international hospital with a branch in Calabar. One day, she came into my room and hugged me for about 5 minutes without letting me go. She said it wasn’t my fault that any of that happened. She told me that sometimes, bad things happen to good people and those good people have no control over those circumstances. She hugged me and we both cried. I was relieved. I felt better. That was the first time since the incident I felt loved and not worthless. That was all I needed to hear. I wanted to hear that it didn’t happen to me because I was a bad person. I wanted to hear
