@Queenie @outlander Hi to you both.
You can use STOP as an acronym for Stop-Take a step back-Observe-Proceed
The first step is to:
Stop what you are doing,
Take a step back either physically or mentally and take a deep breath,
Observe what is going on inside and outside of you - thoughts, feelings, the situation etc.,
Proceed mindfully - act with awareness of how you are feeling, what the situation actually is, what action should be taken when you are calm to make that decision...
Hope that helps a little here
