But, it’s just so much easier to default to scrolling rather than adding in a consistent 10 minute habit that really stacks up over time. Well, that’s no longer because I’ve compiled a massive list of 10 minute habit...

I’m not sure about you but the heaviness of the world right now has me needing more time for calm and reflection and planning… and in that process of really prioritizing this… I realized the importance of a personal fortress.

I wanted to do a podcast episode on this topic because I think changing our environment changes our headspace and in this way it can be so fulfilling. ...

It’s SO GOOD!
-
Pause, breathe, regain control
-
Use silence and a deep breath before responding.
-
Silence makes the other person sit with their words and prevents you from reacting impulsively.
-
Your breath is your pause button against fight-or-flight reactions.
-
-
Don’t absorb their negativity
-
You don’t have to internalize or validate rude behavior.
-
Your dignity is preserved by staying calm and detached.
-
-
Ask clarifying or exposing questions
-
“Can you repeat that?” / “Can you say that again?”
-
“Did you say that to try to hurt me?”
-
These questions force the other person to either own or retract their words, shifting control back to you.
-
-
Use fewer words; be precise
-
Keep your response short, clear, and confident.
-
Don’t over-explain or justify yourself.
-
A crisp question or boundary carries more weight than a long defense.
-
-
If they escalate further: disengage calmly.
-
If it’s someone powerful (boss, authority): ask respectfully, e.g. “Can you help me understand what you meant by that?”
-
If you freeze or can’t think of what to say: your default safe move is pause + “Can you repeat that?”
