only one small concern i have with this technique…if you were to get angry at another person for something they just did and you were to tense your fist, it could very easily be mistaken for a possible sign of aggression and thereby worsening the problem on hand. far better to walk away first and then do this rather than immediately at that moment.

I guess this might work because in reality it makes you stay away from thinking about the source of frustration for a period of time. Let’s say it calms down your center of emotions. Wouldn’t I be correct if I’d say any routine would help if it had exactly the same effect?

Really nice post. Can really relate to the idea of slowing down. I have done the same thing, have taken the year out to re-plan, and get healthy, includes plenty of meditation and yoga. Keep up the great work. Andy

Just focusing on the feeling and ‘seeing’ it dissipate (through this visualization) is definitely a very powerful technique! Thank you so much for this post.
