When people try to change responses, they frequently spend a lot of time focusing on the issues and feelings behind the anger. While those are important to understand, simply slowing things down can make a huge difference in the heat of the moment.
Next time you feel the anger rising, think "s‐l-o‐w."
Pretend like someone hit a slow motion button on the moment.
- Speak slower.
- Move slower.
- Respond slower.
The intensity of the moment will decrease and you'll find yourself thinking rather than reacting to events.
