Pause before responding
Slow down your speech
Relax your facial muscles
Keep your gestures smaller
Breathe deeply and evenly
Focus on the message, not the performance
Listen more than you speak
Notice when you feel exaggerated
Practice speaking in a calm tone
Rehearse with feedback from others
Record yourself and review it
Use fewer words
Stay grounded in the moment
Match your energy to the situation
Avoid forcing emotions
Keep your body still when possible
Think about natural reactions
Observe calm people and mirror them
Take a short pause before big reactions
Practice mindfulness regularly
Get enough rest and reduce stress
