Emotional Reactions

We've all been there when it comes to reacting too quickly when you're on an emotional high. After the adult tantrum has taken place and your emotions have subsided, you often feel regret and in some cases, even embarrassment. So what is the best course of action when you've already jumped off the ledge?

Based upon your reaction, an apology may be needed. It's not always easy to admit when your response is wrong even when the other person may be guilty of an indiscretion. 
In some instances, hitting the pause button may be a good approach. If you're constantly reacting the same way to a situation, perhaps it may be something that you're not facing properly and may warrant you to just step back to gather yourself. 

If you find yourself regretting a text message, social media post, or vocal interaction, don't dwell on it forever, take action. Apologize if you need to but don't get stuck in it. We all make mistake and I'm sure the recipient of your reckless emotional state has been there once or twice themselves.
