When it heats up today, slow everything down: your voice, your breath, your pace.
Speed is the fuel of a fight. Halve your tempo and the heat drops with it.
When you feel flooded today, name it and take a real break before you say a word.
Racing heart, tight chest, that is the signal. Step away, breathe, come back when steady.
Take ten quiet minutes to decompress before you walk in the door.
Arriving already softened means the day's stress is not spent on the person you love.
On a break, do not rehearse how wronged you are. Let the grievance go and let your body settle.
Thoughts like I do not have to take this keep you flooded. Turn to something calming instead.
