frazzled

S is very calm. So now I try to catch myself when I see myself getting frazzled and dazzled.

At work yesterday I caught it. And I mentally took a step back and started taking in deep breaths. I told myself - what does this matter in the big picture? How am I going to benefit from getting mad? And kept breathing really deep.

All of this happened within a minute or two.

But it's also a step or two forward.
