We cannot stress enough the importance of setting an intention prior to an engagement (what do I want to achieve by this meeting or attending this function), deciding on the anchor which will help bring one to the present moment (the anchor can be your breath or something else which helps during those moments when one is being challenged/ being triggered) and communicating the exit strategy as well with your partner (for example when my cup is full, I'll undo my scarf, that's my cue to say I'm ready to leave).  Thereafter we both decide on the way forward.

Preparation is key when it comes to how best we can handle those challenging moments in our lives.
