How do Pinoys really handles stress and that of those stressors? I myself just tend to "chill" right in the corner. Close my eyes. Think of serene things e.g. The ocean, a bliss, the cerulean sky, posting a blog! Other people have their own way too. Smoking, chit-chatting, walking around, mumbling to a wall to name a few. But really, how does a Pinoy handles stress? Us, Filipinos tend to be carefree and what they say - Happy Go Lucky. I admit I held all of those traits in me and it made me somewhat cram before something else. Pinoys tend to face reality when utmost time, or even crisis, comes. It's not bad to be outright prepared before a battle. Its just being lax and laidback through this circumstances makes me feel somewhat irresponsible. Irresponsible to the extent that you tend to underestimate the shortcomings that may come beforehand. You identify events that will later encounter you, anticipate whats right and forget whats not. Study, have a battleplan. Opt for Plan B, not on Plan A as most of them say.
Whatever the battle is, stress and anxiety are the footsoldiers of the opponent's faction; the unknown and the unwilling. Be equipped with knowledge, optimism and self-confidence. Try not to be perfect. Do your best and do what is required.
As for Pinoys, how to handle stressful situation? Summon the patron "saint" of all unknown challenges - "Bahala na si Batman".
