☆Your greatest challenge is learning not to lose your temper
☆The way forward is to take a break. Go for a walk. A nap can clear things out; so can chatting with friends or putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. If you’re going to lose it, keep your cool until you can blow off some steam somewhere safe.
