As you are in the heat of pursuit, anger, or strong emotion, stop and do nothing. Watch yourself. Ask what all the excitement is about. Notice your posture, breathing, and responses. Straighten your back. Feel your feet upon the floor. Feel the air on your face. Realize you have been caught in a momentary thunderstorm. Maintain stillness until it blows away.
