The 5-breath reset

Use this when you are about to win an argument that would cost him his dignity.

1. Feel both feet on the floor. Do not speak yet.
2. Inhale for four. The sentence you want to fire is not overdue; it is early.
3. Exhale for six. Drop your shoulders.
4. Name the job, silently: I am here to keep a vote in the room.
5. Say only the next true, short sentence. Then stop.

If five breaths are not available — society corridor, clinic queue — take two. The point is the pause, not the count.
