Count to ten
PROMPT November 11th

A reminder I could say to myself before I’m tempted to respond to anger with anger, to fear with fear, to negativity with negativity is...

Always count to ten.
Remind yourself this is just one person’s opinion, you may not agree with something that someone says to you but they’re entitled to say it.

Again, count to ten. It’s amazing just that small space before answering makes all the difference to one’s reaction. It gives you time to walk away from a situation if that’s what’s called for in the heat of the moment.

Count to ten. This gives you time to repeat in your head what’s just been said. Did they really mean to insult, anger or distress? Quite often they didn’t.
