Modulate your physiology through diaphragmatic breathing

Instructions

When you notice that you’re emotionally triggered, stop whatever you’re doing
If you’re arguing with someone, stop talking, even if it’s mid-sentence. If you’re writing an angry email, push away the keyboard. If you’re ruminating about how terrible your life is, say “Stop it!” out loud. If you’re sitting, stand up immediately, or vice versa.
Oxygenate your body to get out of your triggered state
Take a deep belly breath and make sure it’s your stomach that’s getting bigger rather than your chest. Hold your breath for a count of 6 seconds and then release it slowly. Repeat this process until you no longer feel triggered.
