Words cannot be unspoken, and deeds can't be undone. Before you say or do something you'll regret:
- Stop. Take a break from whatever or whoever is upsetting you.
- Breathe.
- Relax your body.
- Pray.
- Focus on someone and/or something else.
- Be in a spiritual, mental, and physical calm before re-engaging.
