When something triggers you, your brain reacts instantly. Your heart races, your mind forms judgments, and you feel an urge to respond immediately.

But this first reaction often comes from the emotional part of the brain, not the rational one. The real power lies in the pause between the trigger and your response.

When you give yourself even a few seconds to think, you allow logic to guide your actions instead of impulse.

Takeaway: Next time you feel triggered, count to five before saying a word. Let the initial wave pass.
