My life has been chaotic lately feeling as I've been caught in a rip current or undertow. I found a great article on how to survive a rip current and realized how it can easily translate on how to survive chaos that comes into our lives.
1. RELAX, Stay calm.
This is always the rule when something bad happens do your best to stay calm.
2. Signal help if its available.
Call someone to help you with your crisis if you can,, even if you have to pay them like cab driver
3. Swim or float on your back WITH the current, this may seem counter intuitive as your final destination is the shore but you will NOT win against the current.
So I would say don't fight the chaos in your life just go along with it and see where it will take you...
4. Once rip current ceases swim diagonally back to shore, do not try to swim back the way you were dragged out or it may start the process all over again.
Once the craziness is over things will go back to normal but thing will not always be the same. Sometimes there is reason our lives are in chaos and the reason is us. If we do the same thing we always did then we can expect the chaos to come back and continue.
5. There are others that say to swim parallel to the shore to try to escape the rip tide, most experts say this is wasting energy. Relax, go with the flow, then swim at an angle to the shore..
Go with the flow...
6. If you are not a STRONG swimmer stay in the POOL!!
If you can't handle the chaos get out of your situation. I hear Canada's nice.
