For those of you who are inclined to “meltdowns”, i.e., the moment you want to throw a tantrum, explode or run away from the situation; I have learned a little tip:  SEE YOUR WAY THROUGH IT

tell someone what an idiot they are

pop somebody in the nose

throw, punch or slam something

scream at the top of your lungs something you know you’ll regret later    or …

something that will make you feel better momentarily, but will absolutely make you look like a fool in the long run

It takes a lot less energy focusing on acting right then getting yourself all worked up and saying or doing something you will regret later.  Just ask my husband and my kids?!
