- I calm down for a minute with my eyes closed, but the second I open them and step back into the room I snap right back into the same tight, tunnel-visioned reactivity
- In hard conversations I fire back from the gut and instantly wish I’d said it differently
- I run on autopilot all day and the stress just quietly stacks up unnoticed until I’m suddenly snapping or fried
- The breathing helps until I hit the part where I hold with empty lungs
- I run on autopilot from one thing to the next and only realize how wound up I am once I’ve snapped at someone
