"The best way to win in an irrational debate is to keep calm". This is very good advice but most people find it hard to do. One of the reasons it is so difficult to stay calm in a heated situation is because our brain is actually designed to do the opposite! When we are in an interaction with someone who is upset or angry we start to feel some of these emotions ourselves due to built in "empathy" circuits in the brain. If we are not good at being aware of our own emotional state then we can get inadvertently "caught up" and experience a strong emotional reaction that can be difficult to control. The sensible part of our brain can then go "off line" due to a lack of resources, and we all know what happens next!! Becoming aware of our own reactions, along with building skills in mindfulness and relaxation can help us to be able to stay calm when cornered. This enables us to retain our ability to think clearly and act rationally. But these skills take time to develop so do n't wait..... get started now. Article
