Hi Elsabeth. In heated situations, I suggest a strategy not mentioned in this piece: taking a pause and stepping back to gain perspective. I believe this approach can be more effective in such moments.
Some excellent strategies for emotional regulation!
This is something we utilize a lot as triathletes during training and racing.
I wrote a post a few months back- How to Hack Your Emotions for Better Performance about flipping the script on negative emotions, creating a pattern-breaking phrase, and using pre-race visualization.
Thank you for sharing this article. I suspect I rely on one more than any others so I need to rethink this. These are also great tools to introduce my teenage son to.

Glad you liked it, Michelle. I think young people should definitely be taught emotion regulation!
Do you have any tips on how to practice choosing between those strategies in a heated situation, when it's easy to be impulsive?
