Maybe you’ve seen this video already of the man who was skydiving in Australia and he has a seizure. “A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain.” This man has this happen to him after he jumps out of the plane! After his seizure, he becomes unconscious and cannot pull his own parachute cord. The other jumper, the instructor, races down and pulls it for him, and the man regains consciousness before he hits the ground and lands safely. This video is very scary, exciting, and powerful. All I could think of is what it would be like to be in the instructor’s position in this. He was extremely cool under pressure and did what was necessary to save the man’s life. Think back to times when you feel pressure in your life. It may not be as dramatic as this situation but think about times when you have assignments due, a big game, or some responsibility at home.
How do you deal with the pressure? Can you write down 3 simple rules that help you or you think would help people deal with situations under pressure? If you know how to deal with the stresses before they happen, sometimes those situations aren’t as difficult when you have to face them. Try not to copy anyone else’s rules.
