When an urge rises, neither fight it nor obey it. Watch it like a wave: it peaks and it falls.
The urge to snap, to check, to give in. Name it, breathe, and let it crest and pass.
Before acting on a strong impulse, wait ten slow breaths. Decide after, not during.
The peak of an urge is brief. A short, deliberate delay lets the thinking mind back in.
