It speeds up your speech.
It tenses your body.
It hijacks your thinking.
And later, you may regret what you said.
The best way to stay in control is to slow everything down:
👉 Take a deep breath to reset
👉 Speak slower to delay your reaction
👉 Ask questions to shift your focus to understanding
The calmer you are, the harder you are to rattle.
And the prouder you’ll feel later on about how you behaved.
