Rational thinking is a learnt skill. Our go-to response from 100's of 1000's of years of evolution is fight, flight or freeze.

Nowadays, our need to drop everything immediately with ZERO thought and bolt to save our own backsides is far less important. But, we tend to bring this outdated adaptation into our everyday lives.

Flying off the handle without asking any follow up questions. Jumping to conclusions because in the heat of the moment. Making assumptions, joining imaginary dots, acting before thinking - all lead by our immediate emotional response.

I feel ANGRY therefore I'll act angry and lash out.

Did you know you can feel ANGRY and NOT act Angry? You could act calmly, for example.

Takes a bit of practice though - 100% fucking worth it!
