Here is what I am reading today:
“As each day passes, the pace of life seems to accelerate — demands on productivity continue ever upward and there is hardly ever a moment when we aren’t, in some way, in touch with our family, friends, or coworkers.

“When someone makes you angry, try to pretend you’re viewing the scene at a distance — in other words, you are an observer rather than a participant in this stressful situation. Then, from that distanced perspective, try to understand your feelings.
Researchers call this strategy “self-distancing.””
