Before you reply to something that stung, quietly rate how stirred up you are, one to ten.

Naming the number makes the feeling something you are watching, rather than something driving you.

Breathe out for longer than you breathe in, six slow times, before you answer.

A longer out-breath settles the body first, so your words come from a calmer place.

Give any reply to a difficult message a full hour before you send it.

An hour is usually enough for the sting to fade and your kinder, clearer self to return.
