Pressing pause ⏸️ during conflicts is essential because we are hardwired for emotions. When emotions run high, they can cloud our judgment and hinder effective communication. By taking a moment to breathe with the 4x4x4 technique (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds), we access the logical thinking in our brains. This simple pause allows us to shift from emotional reaction to thoughtful response, leading to more positive outcomes and less stress. Remember, in the heat of the moment, a pause and a few deep breaths can make all the difference. 💨🧠🤝
