Have you ever found yourself losing your cool over something trivial? The word HALT can be a good way to check in with yourself to see what is going on. Ask yourself: Am I Hungry? Angry? Lonely?

Then when you are fed, rested, and feeling better you can return to the task at hand as your true self.
