Short Note

Solution

When I find myself in trouble, facing a serious problem, I experience a lot of stress. A part of me just wants to run away from the problem and simply avoid dealing with it. I feel worried, angry, and edgy. But then I try to calm myself down by taking deep breaths. I prepare myself mentally to boldly overcome the obstacle and move forward again.
