Remember how Agniya Barto has: “To quickly come to your senses, count in your mind up to thirty”? The advice is sensible, because due to one's own quick temper one can offend an innocent person. Instead of counting, you can close your eyes and slowly inhale air through your nose until you feel that your lungs are full to capacity. Hold your breath for a second, then exhale just as slowly through your nose. Take two more breaths to calm down completely. It takes only 2-3 minutes, but the result will be.

At a crucial event, where several tens or hundreds of pairs of eyes are looking at you, even a professional actor or speaker can get confused. Do they make a reservation? Apologize or parry. If you feel insecure and excitement from a slip, take a short pause to, for example, take a sip of water. During this time, find among the audience several people who are listening to you. Continue your speech with their careful eyes. After all, not everyone supports your point of view, it is indifferent to someone, and someone may already be tired of listening to you. So why waste your energy on those you are not interested in?

Your life may be calm and stable, but are you experiencing stress due to the so-called calm before the storm? Dial in the bathroom, add a few drops of lavender essential oil and soak in aromatic water for 10-15 minutes. Go to bed earlier than usual, try to sleep. In 4-5 prominent places, stick up stickers with life-affirming phrases that help calm down. Instead of coffee and cigarettes, drink a glass of water.

Learn to skillfully apply your own sense of humor. Indeed, laughter not only brings people together, but also warms, helps to relax. A person cannot laugh if he is angry or tense. Do not be afraid at least from time to time to laugh at yourself or "dilute" the prolonged silence with a good joke.
