Composure is a state of being calm and tranquil during pressure-packed moments. In a normal state, the composure of a person is rather charming, behaves inspiring and work highly efficient; however, the composure becomes drastically difficult to handle when the same person is at the peak of pressure. Maintaining composure is sometimes as easy as counting the candies in a jar and sometimes it is as hard as counting the stars in the sky.

Practice the following tips to maintain composure when pressure mounts:-

• When you are under pressure take a deep breath or drink some water as this make it easy for you to revert back to a normal state.
• Don’t immediately react to the person emotionally, remain calm.
• Avoid adding phrases that add fuel to the situation and walking away is not recommended because it flares up the ego.
• Practice providing a solution to a problem before it gets out of hand.
• A firm voice and tone is always recommended, don’t raise your voice just because the other person raised his voice. If you do so, then you are creating a path for others to judge that you are out of control.
• There shouldn’t be an oscillation in your positive attitude, be fearless, nothing can hurt your emotions unless you take it more seriously than required, with a negative attitude.
• Laughing reduces stress, using humor allows you to take back your power, so find an immediate source of laughter.
