This from Yung Pueblo and his latest book The Way Forward.
“saying less is incredibly helpful
not every thought is valuable, not every feeling needs to be voiced
what is often best is to slow down and spend time developing a clearer and more informed perspective
ego rushes and reacts, but peace moves purposefully and gently.”
Aaaah. Peace. Gentle. I am going to add the word pause here. There is so much to gained by pausing to think before acting. Or reacting. This habit can help you to represent yourself in the way you want to appear in the world. Not in the way that fear or anger or bitterness or resentment would have you appear.
Take back the controls. Two things you actually have control over is how you respond and the actions you take.
