🔥 4 Ds of Anger

A simple framework to help you pause, regulate, and respond rather than react when anger builds.

1. Delay

Pause before reacting. Give yourself space between trigger and response.

2. Distract

Shift attention away from the trigger (walk, breathe, change environment).

3. Deep Breathing

Slow your physiological arousal using controlled breathing techniques.

4. Decide

Respond intentionally rather than reacting emotionally.
