Whether you think you attracted it or not, sometimes a 'storm' can descend upon your life out of nowhere. Maybe a family crisis or maybe your financial status just took a shift that you did not expect. Everything around us is a reflection of our thoughts but sometimes you can't even imagine why this 'storm' has come into your life.
There are some things that you can do to help alleviate the stress of a crisis or life storm and it always comes back to your way of thinking and feeling through the crisis.
When in the middle of a stressful crisis or situation stand back for just a moment and take a deep breath. Taking a deep breath actually helps the body to get rid of some of the stress and it also tells your body that you are taking care of it. Once you have taken a deep breath, examine the problem from a different point of view. Step outside of yourself and observe the facts of the situation. Don't make any decisions or judgments about anyone; just observe the true nature of the situation.
At the same time, know that you really can't know every little detail of the situation. There are so many different perspectives of others that can taint the actual happening, whatever that may be. You may see it your way, another may see it another, and so on.
Once you have diffused the situation in your mind, start looking at what a good solution would be. Don't think of the problem itself but the solution to the situation. If it is something that you can do nothing about then the solution is to 'do nothing' but to stay serene and calm through the process. By staying calm and serene, you will not attract back to you what you originally were feeling.
Don't buy into the chaos of the situation.
Many people get all worked up over nothing (or even worked up over something) and chaos can begin to creep into the creation of your reality. You may be the only one who isn't running around panicking, but panic will do nothing for anyone except cause more panic. Find a quiet place within your 'inner' self and see clearly by focusing on the solution.
Take action. The Universe loves nothing more than when you have a solve in your mind and you take action. This shows the Universe that you really want an answer and a solve. Through this resolve you envision, you will find the Universe will bring it to you that much faster. What exactly does it mean to take action? Take action with whatever you can do, through calm and quiet, to get closer to a solve. If there is nothing that you can do, your action will be to take action to be calm and resolved through the situation or crisis.
Be aware of what you understand and are learning from a soul level; what is this stressful situation teaching you? We learn during positive moments in life but we also learn from the 'negative' moments in our lives. If you can find what you are learning during the actual event, it will dissipate much faster. Look inside yourself and see what you might be attracting and think about the thoughts or feelings you may have had that perhaps moved this situation toward you.
Learn from the moment, understand yourself through the moment, and then say to yourself, "I know I am learning and I understand Universe. Thank you for the opportunity." Know and trust that once you have a resolve that you envision, that the Universe will take care of it for you. Remember that if the stressful crisis 'seems' to get worse it's just a façade. The Universe is taking care of the situation and sometimes you do have to break a few eggs to make that omelet.
If you believe in the Universe and the Law of Attraction, you will get the solution that you want or better. The Universe will always provide as long as you provide the trust.
By taking action with the methods above, you really can have a 'calm' within the stressful storm and come out with a stronger, more serene inner self that understands everything as it happens, and knows you will come out the way you want it to through the Law of Attraction.

Help dealing with OCD
By: Terri Ollivier | 14-07-2008
I was raised in a very close family atmospher, so consequently we talk about our problems and concerns with each other. My husband (and he raised his daughter the same way) was not. My step-daughter has OCD and has to keep her family life and her other life seperate. Because of her OCD, her behaviors and attitudes comes across as bitchy, uncaring, and disrespectful. She did very well at first, but it almost seems like she realized that we were getting close, so she put up her wall and backed off. While she has told her father that she looks to me as a mother figure (she calls me mom), her behavior and tendacies doesn't say as much. We have had a big blow up and I was pretty much told, this is the way she is, there is nothing she can do about it, and I just have to accept it. What can I do to understand her and her OCD? I want to be able to understand, I want to be able to deal with this as to not alienate her from me. My sanity is on the line. Terri Ollivier Bakersfield, CA

I am 17 and when I was 13 I was molested...
By: Miss_Me | 13-07-2008
I am 17 and when I was 13 I was molested by a teacher over the period of a year. I have seen counselors and whatnot but I still don't know the extent of what happened as I (apparently) blocked out memories (eg. only remembering walking into a classroom and then the next thing I know I'll be leaving ten minutes after the bell). I would have panic attacks and nightmares and it would only be then I've get snippets of what happened but I'm doubting my own memory and don't wish to make false claims, if my mind is filling in the blanks incorrectly.Is what he did punishable by law? My school pretty much swept it under the rug because they're seen as an "up there" school and the only thing they did was change my classes and berate him and my parents didn't want me to change schools because of what happened because then "he would have won". I also know that a similar thing happened to a lesser extent to my friend but she was too scared to come forward. Does anyone have any advice? Please? Also, I don't know how to respond properly to sexual contact and have been unable to maintain relationships if the guy moves anywhere past a kiss. I know, in my head, nothing will happen and I'm meant to enjoy it or something but all I can remember is foreign, unwanted hands and feeling absolutely petrified. I know what I'm feeling isn't normal. Help?Also, I don't know how to shake off the stigma that's been attached to me as I told one of my "friends" in confidence why I had changed classes and she told a skewed version of it and now people think I am "an attention seeking, manipulative slut" (their words) and the idea has stuck since then. Any idea how I can set them straight without spilling my personal life? Any advice appreciated.I know this is long - I'm really sorry, but I've never been able to ask anonymously for help before and this isn't even the half of it :(Thanks for any advice, in advance :)
Heartache and children
By: shyandnaked | 13-07-2008
Wat would you do if you had a son or daughter who was angry at your whole family (aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers,) for a reason you weren't sure of, and they chose to estrange themselves from the family? What if you had made several attempts to write, call, visit, this person and they wanted no contact and gave you no explanations, and your heart was broken?

Dependent Personality Disorder?
By: wendi | 09-07-2008
My ten year old stepdaughter was adopted. Her adoptive mother died when the child was 3 years old. Now she can't do anything on her own. She can't make even minor decisions like what to wear. When she is asked a question or is asked to do something she will just stand there and stare like you are speaking another language. She constantly wants to be near her dad. I understand that it was hard losing a mother at three years old, but how do i get her to become more independent with minor decisions?
