Precise words lower the temperature
Put a precise name on what you feel so it loses its heat. · About 7 minutes.
Most strong feelings get sorted into one of two buckets: fine or angry. That is a small vocabulary for a large inner life.
Disappointed, embarrassed, tired, uncertain, and overlooked all feel different and each one asks for a different response.
The more precisely you name it, the less it drives you.

Write It Out, Then Hear It Back
If it helps, take a few minutes to write privately in your own notebook. Reading your words out loud can help you slow down, hear your thoughts more clearly, and decide what matters most before you respond.
Private Notebook
Prompts only — nothing is typed or stored in Steady.
