Pause before reacting
Take slow, deep breaths
Name the emotion you are feeling
Notice what triggered it
Step away from the situation if needed
Relax your shoulders and jaw
Count...
Stop talking
Unclench your jaw
Relax your shoulders
Take 10 slow breaths
Inhale through your nose
Exhale longer than you inhale
Step away from the situation
Leave the room if possible
Count...
Pause before reacting
Take slow, deep breaths
Count to ten
Step away from the situation
Identify the trigger
Use calm self-talk
Relax your muscles
Focus on what you can control
Avoid arguing...
