Step Away from an Argument

How does it help?

Avoid getting heated or saying something you regret in an argument by stepping away for a moment. By not immediately reacting, you practice self-care by allowing yourself time to gather your thoughts, calm your nerves with CBD, and then return to the discussion.

How to:

1. If a fight feels like it’s escalating or is just generally unproductive, take a minute and step away. Then consume CBD to help calm down. Reflect on what you’re angry about. Take some deep breaths.
2. Check in with your body. How do you feel? Your body can help give you clues about your emotions. For instance, a tightness in your chest can indicate hurt. Muscle tension is a reaction to stress. Your body is preparing you to go to battle, so to speak. Take some deep breaths, shake your body out, and remind yourself that everything is okay and there is no real threat.
3. Return to the person you’re arguing with. Assertively express your concerns in a calm manner. Speak directly to what you’re angry about. Your goal is to come to a peaceful resolution.
