Ep 05: Developing a Mini-Protocol - Version 1.0

We’ve all been there—losing our cool in the heat of the moment, only to regret it later. But what if you had a go-to plan in place for those fiery moments? In this episode, we're diving into the power of a mini anger protocol. Think of it as your personal “pause button,” helping you avoid those knee-jerk reactions and giving you space to respond with calm, clarity, and intention.

If you’ve been following along with past episodes, you’ve already identified those activators that push you over the edge. Now it’s time to take intentional steps towards responding rather than reacting. Today, I’m breaking down a quick, easy-to-follow plan that you can start using right away. These steps will help you recognize the moment you're about to react, take a breath, and step away before the situation takes control of you. You’ll learn how to process your emotions, reclaim your calm, and show up as your most grounded self.

Plus, I’ll share some tips on how to tweak your protocol to make it work for you. Because the key to lasting change is creating a process that feels like second nature. This simple tool will empower you to rewrite your response, transforming reactive moments into opportunities for growth.

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." —Viktor Frankl
