These tips will help keep you calm during unexpected hitches on your grind days

Have you ever had those moments when it feels like even fate is turning against you? When it comes to crunch time, it is easy—and entirely valid—to crash out. But here’s the kicker: losing your cool won’t rescue you from the situation. So how can you stay composed—keep calm under pressure—while still reaching your goals?

Have a Pre-mortem Mindset

Have you ever heard of Murphy’s Law? It’s a term coined by engineer Edward Murphy Junior that basically says, “Anything that will go wrong can go wrong.” This mindset emphasizes the practice of a pre-mortem mindset that encourages thoroughness and attention to detail so that you can have a backup plan for when challenges happen. That way, instead of focusing on the roadblock, you can automatically go to troubleshooting mode.

‘Vibe Check’ Yourself

Sometimes, it is better to just sit down with your feelings first instead of diving immediately into solving the problem. Do this by giving yourself a quick vibe check. Ask, ‘How am I feeling right now?’ By acknowledging your emotions, you channel your energy into understanding yourself rather than spiraling further. This can help clear your mind and allow you to step outside of your current situation so that you can see it more objectively.

If the situation allows it, you can also momentarily distract yourself by doing something positive to refresh your mood quickly, like watching some cat videos or having an ice cream break to cool the situation. This way, you can shift to game mode stronger than ever. 

Visualize and Micro Manifest

The power of manifestation and visualization is real. When you find yourself in a sticky situation, take a deep breath and visualize yourself after you’ve already gotten over your current dilemma. By doing ‘micro manifestation,’ you trick your brain into shifting into a positive mindset and thinking of solutions that can help you get there.

View it from the outside

Removing yourself from the situation mentally allows you to see things in an objective manner, especially when things start to overwhelm you. When you find yourself at a dead end, shift your mindset and do something that can help you cool down.

The perfect sweet snack, Nestlé Crunch Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

Nestlé Crunch Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is the perfect sweet snack to do this with because it indulges your senses with its delectable vanilla flavored ice cream with cookie bits and crunchy milk chocolate coating sprinkled with crisped cereals. For chocolate lovers, there’s Nestlé Crunch Ice Cream in Chocolate, with rich creamy chocolate ice cream and chocolate filling wrapped in crunchy cereal-embedded milk chocolate coating for an extra satisfying bite. Let’s be honest, even the worst of crunch time moments are no match if you give yourself something this good. 

Keep cool with Crunch

So the next time you find yourself in a pinch, follow these tips to breeze through them and hit your goals at the same time. 

Keep Cool with Crunch

Nestlé Crunch Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Ice Cream are available in Robinson’s, Alfamart, Shopwise, The Marketplace, Waltermart and other leading stores nationwide.

The pulse of progress in Visayas resonated during Synchrony: Connected Living in the Visayas Region, a premier showcase of three new residential developments by Vista Land.

Synchrony: Connected Living in the Visayas Region, was a platform for Vista Land to unveil its vision for real estate in Visayas, one that is attuned to the shifting urban patterns and strategic growth corridors in the islands.

Engr. Ric A. Pallesco, Group Head for South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao gave an  inspiring talk to business partners at the launch of  Vista Land’s new residential developments in the Visayas Region.

The event brought together the Vista Land business team and partners to explore how connections among heritage, home, and human-scale planning can refine the horizons of residential living in Camella Orilla in Dumaguete City, Camella Montevia in Cebu, and Harland Place at Georgia in Iloilo. In his welcome address, Engr. Ric Pallesco, Vista Land Group Head for South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, highlighted the role of expanding infrastructure in facilitating the movement of people, goods, and opportunities across the region. "These road networks are foundational forces making our newest residential developments both scalable and sustainable," he noted. "As regional economies reach their potential, Vista Land positions itself at its intersections, where accessibility meets aspiration, and where residential vision meets real-world opportunities."

The highlight of Synchrony was the presentation of residential developments across Dumaguete City, Cebu, and Iloilo, built to respond to the evolving needs of Visayan families and communities.

Host Vanessa Caro welcomed the attendees while the interpretive interludes by the Sidlangan Dance Company captured themes of form, flow, and function, aligned with the Vista Land ethos of creating communities in concert with their surroundings. Representatives from Vista Land Strategic Commercial Assets Division introduced a range of commercial land and space leasing opportunities in the region. As the event drew to a close, company executives raised a ceremonial toast, a symbolic gesture of shared vision and steadfast commitment. Attendees left informed and inspired, witnessing how Vista Land continues to chart the course of Philippine real estate, one region, one road, and one community at a time.

Rooted in place, reaching in purpose

The highlight of Synchrony was the presentation of three residential developments across Dumaguete City, Cebu, and Iloilo, each shaped by the nuances of its locale and built to respond to the evolving needs of Visayan families and communities.

Adding to the momentum was the introduction of Camella Orilla in Dumaguete City and Camella Montevia in Talamban, Cebu by Concept Development Officer Ar. Eric Suarez.

With direct access to the Dumaguete North Road and a short distance from the downtown area through the Bacolod Economic Highway and Sibulan Airport, Camella Orilla is where the serenity of nature meets the sanctuary of a built environment. The community invites residents to enjoy a laid-back lifestyle without compromising on modern conveniences, tailored for Overseas Filipinos and seasoned retirees seeking a restful yet rewarding pace of life.

Along the sloping ridges in eastern Cebu, Camella Montevia in Talamban presents a haven within reach of South Road Properties (SRP). Combining calm and connectivity, the residential neighborhood offers premium residential living with access to educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and economic centers, making it ideal for growing families. 

At Harland Place in Savannah, Iloilo will rise, an enclave of themed residential developments built for professionals advancing in their careers.

Within Georgia, the biggest lifestyle destination in Iloilo, Harland Place in Savannah will rise, an enclave of themed residential developments built for professionals advancing in their careers. With construction on the Iloilo-Capiz-Aklan Expressway underway and the Iloilo International Airport continuing to expand its reach, the province is rapidly becoming a vital gateway not only within Visayas but also to the entire country. 

Pioneering excellence in property development
