Before you send that message, make that decision, or start that argument — run the HALT check: are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired? Most overreactions aren't about the situation. They're about an unmet basic need wearing the situation's clothes. If any of the four are true, fix the need first. Eat something, sleep, call someone, or step away. Then decide.
The point
Before reacting, check if you're Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired — most overreactions trace back to one of these four.
