Getting Lost while driving & learning how to stay calm

In Today's world, we all use GPS Finders to direct us to our location we enter within the device. If it does not work; we connect to the internet via our phone to identify where we are and then have that direct us to where we need to go. We have also depended upon the Google Maps and Yahoo Maps; however; this is not used as much via paper but now an internet connect.

Sometimes; we will not have the internet available and the Thomas Guides (paper maps non-technology based) is not used as it used to be. Therefore; at times you will get lost. It is not the most fun.

This type of stress is not good for the survivor. It does happen and the ability to learn how to deal with it is the best way to find a good common ground. What I do; as I have gotten older, is pull over, call the person I am meeting and figure out with them where I am going. If that does not work; I will bring in my patience and go to the direction the device or internet was giving me prior to the disconnect or wrong turn provided.

Advice;
Learn how you stress out and have anxiety created. I have learned to take my time. If I am late; I am late. If I have not been somewhere before; I leave earlier and ensure that I now have a certain amount of time to get lost and stay calm because I will now still arrive on time or close to 5 minutes late. If people cannot understand this; it is time to inform those friends and family etc.. that this is something that you need their help on. Allow for some time. Also; in 2009, I made it a News Year's Resolution to ensure that I learn how to get places on time. This helped me to organize myself to ensure I arrive to places on time. Everyone has seen a huge improvement and this allows those friends and family members to see that I am trying to ensure that me getting lost with stress and anxiety will happen prior to the meet time. People see my effort and support helping me!
