<p><strong>Practise the 10-second rule: </strong>No matter how agitated or angry you are, always try to practise a 10-second gap before responding or making a decision. Actions taken when you’re angry can often be impulsive and not thoroughly thought-out which can later turn out to be an issue. Try to compose yourself, close your eyes and count until 10 before responding to your trigger. This will help calm you down and compose your senses. Words once spoken cannot be taken back but with this exercise you can stop yourself from getting into such sticky situations.</p>

<p><strong>Use humour to diffuse the tension: </strong>Humour, not sarcasm. Tread lightly on this matter as even the slightest hint of sarcasm can tick off the situation from bad to worse. Instead of blowing up on each other, take the initiative to use humour and a few light-hearted jokes here and there to release the tension between the two of you. This way, you will have conveyed what you think or at least have touched the topic and not made the situation worse.</p>
