Prepare to self-soothe. If you find yourself at the mercy of big emotions or power struggles, particularly around your family or chosen family, breathe. The more you give into rising hysteria, the easier it is to get lost in the drama. Removing yourself from escalating domestic disputes or unraveling group chats and tending to yourself is key. Take a break and inquire what underlying needs or desires might be playing a role in creating conflict. There’s wise self-knowledge waiting for you when you explore within.
