Something that ties into this which I've found very helpful;
When something happens that triggers the fight/flight response or the ego in some negative (or positive) way, try to step back and view the situation outside of that more primal state of thought before responding or taking action. It's hard to do, but the more you can practice this, the fewer inappropriate actions you end up making. Learn to use the bodies chemical response as your mental reminder to think properly.
Good post, thank you for writing.
Thank you both @broadperspective and @eineismijmich very true words spoken here and great advice. I have tried to be more in control when I feel I am experiencing the fight/flight response but am often not successful. There are certain triggers causing this and I am still discovering when and how this happens. Being aware of it happening to you and knowing which triggers sets it off are most important (ask questions like: when, where, who, how, why). This knowledge can help you make a mental note on what to avoid and how to put in measures to help control your response.
