The first step in our conflict resolution process is "Approach calmly and stop any hurtful actions."
Most days I'm all mellow and peaceful and approach calmly. Those years of practicing Transcendental Meditation pay off. I know Maharishi is out there giggling as he levitates in some other dimension.
Other days, it's not so easy. My blood pressure and anxiety skyrocket and "calm" seems like a foreign language. For those days I have a whole different mantra...
"Better living through chemistry."
