Breathe

Most of what feels personal— Isn’t personal at all:

Is it how someone’s voice lands?

Maybe praise going to someone else? Or not getting included at all?

Whatever might be, they can all hit hard— But your reaction decides  what happens next.

Use the BREATHE model to reset:

🟥 Balance before reacting
🟨 Reflect instead of assuming
⬜ Empathize with their side
🟩 Anchor to what’s true
🟧 Trust your worth
🟪 Humor to lighten the moment
🟦 Exhale and let it go

The truth?

You’re not being judged, feedback isn’t failure. And saying no is healthy (and necessary)

Here are 3 common  triggers to watch for:
🔺A cold tone— Feels personal, even if it’s not
🔺Being overlooked—  When someone else gets the praise
🔺Being left out—  Your brain sees it as rejection

The calmer you stay,  the clearer you think.

The clearer you think,  the stronger you lead.

Emotional control isn’t coldness, it’s clarity under pressure. And clarity always leads better than impulse.
