You probably feel hatred and start blaming everything and everybody for failure. But there is not too much you can do unless you return back in time and change the situation. Unfortunately, that’s impossible and you should learn other things that will help you survive in tough situations.

1. Avoid panic
Tough situations make us behave in a different and unusual way. This is when it is hard to control your feelings and emotions. However, it is quite possible. Do not panic and try to find a way out. Calm down and think a bit. What if your reaction to the issue is too strong? Maybe the problem is not worth your tears?

2. Put up with the situation
Accept the situation if you know that it is beyond your control. If you cannot change it, then accept it. You can learn to adapt to the situation. Put up with the issue for a while, but do not quit looking for a way out. Concentrate on the solution rather than the problem itself. Do not waste your energy on something that has already happened. Live your life in new circumstances.
