Lesson Overview

9.3 – Staying Calm Under Pressure: Staying calm in a crisis takes practice, but calmness protects your ability to think clearly and respond quickly. When fear rises, deep breathing slows your heart and gives your brain more oxygen, allowing smart decisions instead of panic reactions. Speaking slowly helps steady both you and the people around you. Breaking the moment into small steps prevents overwhelm: one action at a time, no matter how big the situation feels. Focusing on what you can control — calling for help, moving to safety, comforting someone injured — reduces fear’s power. Calmness doesn’t mean you aren’t scared; it means you stay in control anyway. Encouraging words like “I can handle this” strengthen your confidence. Practicing emergency scenarios ahead of time teaches your body how to react automatically. Staying calm transforms a dangerous situation into something you can manage with steady strength.
