Emotional Snapshot: Gain Clarity in Upset
When upset, pause for 60 seconds. Silently name the emotion you feel (e.g., 'I feel frustration'). Notice where it sits in your body without judgment. Then, ask: 'What's the smallest, kindest action I can take right now?' This might be a deep breath, stepping away for 5 minutes, or writing down one sentence about how you feel.
