Don't Lose Your Mind Over Lost Luggage: Vacations are designed to help us escape the stress of regular life, but there can be sources of aggravation, like losing your luggage. The headache of finding lost luggage can skyrocket your stress level. One effective way to deal with frustrating situations like this is to take a minute to cool off. This will allow you to avoid saying or doing anything you’ll regret and will keep the moment from ruining your vacation. Take a minute. Allow yourself to stand still with your eyes closed for a minute (or several) to allow you to calm down. The negative energy that comes with your anger will have an easier time leaving your body than if you tried to physically or verbally react. If you want, you can also count to 10 during this “cooling off” period. Keeping your frustration from spreading allows you to avoid ruining anyone else’s good time and helps put the inconvenience behind you so you can enjoy the rest of your vacation.
