Let me suggest four points. One is try to disengage the ego. If you are in a situation that is getting more and more heated, just visualize somebody else on the outside that is actually looking at you. By doing that, what you are doing is disconnect the self from the explosiveness of the situation and the ego is always the one that gets us in trouble. Another point is identification. Try to identify what causes the problem. Ask yourself, what makes me angry? Another one is replacement. If you know that hanging out with certain people is toxic, start eliminating these people. Also eliminate those bad habits and replace them with some healthy ones. The fourth and last point that I want to make is consistency. The whole idea is to fill in those grooves that we have formed over time with repetitive new behaviors and that's going to take consistency on our part.
