When someone tries to ruffle your feathers, the best way to handle the situation is to stay cool.

Oh, really? Unless you are made out of metal, anybody consists of flesh and blood can react emotionally and irrationally. I know. I know. We shouldn’t take matters personally. But tell me, since when we can slip off our human body and put on the physique of a zombie?

So the reality is, someone pushes your button, you get mad, and then it comes to this crucial step of humanism – you learn how not to get affected by the terrible things people throw at you, i.e. discrimination, false accusations, injustice, verbal attacks, etc.

Here are some ideas to make you invincible: 

  • Read a book like Mind Over Mood: Change How You Feel by Changing the Way You Think
  • Take a walk outside
  • Redirect your attention to other beautiful things around you 
  • Talk to somebody who cares 
  • Consider your family, friends and love ones - important people who believe in you 
  • Count your blessings

By doing lots of practice, you can be so good that people will come to believe you are a zombie. Oh, no, I really mean, you are cool under fire…

 

Here is a song for every woman who undertakes tough challenges in her daily life –

Superwoman

Modified from the original lyric of Superman (It's Not Easy) by Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find The better part of me
I'm more than a bird; I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even Heroines have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede
Even Heroines have the right to dream

It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
It's all right. You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Women weren't meant to ride
with clouds between their knees

I'm only a woman in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a woman in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.
