What do you do when life seems to force you to react?
You can panic, become anxious, yell, and respond with a counterattack.
But that probably won't solve the problem.
And it may turn things into a brawl.
Or you can calm down.
Breathe deeply.
Tell yourself to relax.
Say as little as possible, if that's possible, while you're upset and disturbed.
If a problem or disturbance that's not fair interrupts your life, try responding by saying hmmm.
Then calm down and decide what you need to do.

"You can panic, become anxious, yell, and respond with a counterattack."
Yup...that's what I've been known to do.
*I can't help it, I'm ITALIAN!!!*
However, I will remember this....
"Say as little as possible, if that's possible, while you're upset and disturbed.

Okay...hmmmmmmmm.
Much better!
