Don’t panic. Does life seem overwhelming right now? You are not alone. Here are the 20 things that you can do in a crisis:

What to do in a crisis
Pray to your Higher Power and thank them for their help. Use 'The Golden Key'
Meditate into presence. Go to your inner sanctum of peace. Remember that today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. Practice mindfulness. Use creativity to overcome your perceived problem. Don't attach to negative thinking
Take a pause. This may involve some time out and putting some distance between you and your perceived problem
Respond; don't react
Ask your Self "What would love do now?" This will give you all the guidance that you need
Ask for help
Connect with others. You are not alone
Practice acceptance and non-resistance to the isness of the situation
Practice non-judgement. It is impossible to predict how things turn out so don't judge events as either being negative or positive
Practice non-attachment. Release your attachment to people, places, events, or things
Love your fate. This is a powerful Stoic philosophical principle
Believe that all is well. Even if everything may seem like a mess, all is well, and all shall be well
Believe that this too shall pass. Nothing lasts forever - simply surf the wave of emotion until it passes
Realise deeply that you can handle it. Your Higher Power will never send you challenges that you can't handle. You have two nuclear sources of power - fellowship with others and spiritual awakening
Realise that you are much stronger than you think. Realise that you can outgrow your problems - you don't need to 'fix' them
Choose to be a victor, not a victim. It's never what happens that determines how we feel - it's how we respond. Choose to act from your Higher Self
Namaste.
