🧯 Before You React · Dr. Hines Inc.
A 90-second pause

Before you react

You feel it rising. You don’t have to do anything with it yet. Take ninety seconds first, then decide.

If you might hurt yourself or someone else, call or text 988, or 911. Walk away from the situation now.

Step 1 · Name it

What’s happening in your body?

Naming it takes the edge off. Tap whatever fits, no wrong answers.

Step 2 · Breathe

Three physiological sighs

Two breaths in through the nose, one long breath out through the mouth. Follow the circle.

Tap to begin
Step 3 · Reframe

The truth, right now

Step 4 · Choose

What do you actually want here?

Not what you want to say - what you want to be true after.

You did it

You made a gap.

Between the feeling and the reaction, you put ninety seconds. That gap is where everything good becomes possible. You’re still in charge.
