3. Use reason to stop anger

理智停止愤怒

When we feel anger coming to the fore try to take a step back and say to yourself “This anger will not help me in any way. This anger will make the situation worse.” Even if part of us remains angry our inner voice is helping us to distance our self from the emotion of anger.

当我们怒上心头时，赶紧打住，告诉自己：“这么生气又能怎样呢？发火只能使一切更糟吧。” 就算当时确实有些气愤不过，但在心里默念这些能稍微趋缓愤怒情绪。
