Gain Perspective

How to consider a problem or situation in a wise and reasonable way.

• Know your triggers. What things flare your emotions? Understanding your automatic responses is a step closer to managing them.
• Don't respond immediately. Instead, make space and buy yourself extra time to think about other viewpoints and options.
• Use a rating scale to help ground you. How important is this on a scale of 1 - 10? How likely is the worst outcome?
