Here's the practical idea based on my previous post-
Imagine, you're confronted with something that appears to you stupid/inadequate/unreasonable...And as you're about to make that negative comment (and you know, it will cause chain-reaction of all the bad stuff on both sides, as is always the case)- just notice how you feel at the moment- take a DEEP BREATH- and MENTALY IMAGINE yourself being a WHOLE WORLD- (if the World is too much for you, imagine a planet- you've got the idea)- than, take a deep breath again, and APPLY the SAME IMAGE to ANOTHER PERSON ( with whom you're about to start an argument )- now, see yourself as an austronaut, who is landing on a differnt planet- you're about to learn something really exciting!
Don't miss the chance!
If for whatever reason, the situation escalated before you even had a chance to think of all these great things, notice where you're holding- it's never too late!
You can still do it even AFTER the argument- good training for the next time!
