Go to your corner☹

Today was one of those days where I needed a moment to be in my own space. Something got me terribly angry and I felt like my head was going to explode. My anger was triggered from something that I could not make happen and it seemed out of my reach. I felt as if I failed and that was not good for me. My emotions were completely in charge and it was noticeable. My nostrils flared, beads of sweat rolled down my face like flames and my mouth was ready to shoot bullets.

Fortunately, I figured that I was overacting, and a timeout was imperative. I needed to calm down and take a few deep breaths. I was surprised by the fact that I was so angry and how I allowed my emotions to get the best of me.

My anger had a horrible impact on my energy level and led to my unnecessary stress. So, before my head blew up, I decided to go to my corner and take a moment. A few deep breaths allowed me to calm down to simply enjoy a small meal and go to sleep. After my long nap I was able to reassess the problem and began looking for the solution with a clear head.

We are going to have those moments when the boiling point is inevitable. Before your anger gets to the explosion level…STOP, walk away, take some deep breaths and come back when you can. You may save yourself from possible apologies, hurt feelings and saying or doing something that you will regret. In other words, GO TO YOU CORNER!
