## Resource

If a rude comment, a dismissive tone, or a tense exchange is still running through your head hours later, here's a real way to put it down. This episode walks through a simple technique called self-distancing: naming what you're feeling in a word or two, retelling the moment the way you'd describe it to a friend, using your own name instead of "I," and then redirecting your full attention to whatever's actually in front of you. It takes seconds, not willpower, and it works whether the moment happened five minutes ago or is still bothering you from this morning. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
