There is a lot of wisdom in this article that I can use. Something that I have done starting when I was in a leadership role in law enforcement....when I was confronted with something that affected me emotionally (anger, frustration etc...) I would try to wait at least 24 hours before I made a decision. Almost any decision can wait 24 hours and invariably I made a better decision after the waiting period. I have shared this with other professionals and they all have commented on what a great piece of advise this is, which of course I stole from someone else.
