Dealing with stress
Sometimes in our area it can get stressful. I don't tend to react in the moment or fly off the handle. I don't like that and think it's important to be a good role model. If in the moment I find I'm losing it a little bit, I'll go for a walk.
While I'm walking, I'll think through how I'm going to deal with things. I'll try to determine my plan and how I'm going to react to the situation. I cool down and think things through so when I go back I can deal with the issue.
