Preventing Panic Situations

I've taken an excerpt from T. Orlick's: Pursuit of Excellence to help prepare readers from falling into panic situations. The strategies are listed below, hope this helps...

1. Embrace a challenge that you feel is worthy of you and your focus.
2. Plan a course that you feel can take you to your goals.
3. Run your course or game plan through your mind so you are clear about what you want to do.
4. Look the obstacles over; become familiar with them. 
5. Plan a strategy to overcome them and a backup strategy, in case a problem arises. 
6. Get onto your course, and remain alert and ready, mind wide open and body flowing. 
7. Perceive the obstacles, but don't let your mind remain with them or you will be unprepared for the next step, challenge, or opportunity. 
8. Continue to move forward, taking advantage of your strengths, opportunities, obstacles, and the flow of things around you.
