6. Use passive language
Using statements that involve the “I” pronoun and speaking passively will allow you to express yourself without making them feel defensive. For instance, instead of saying, “You never help with the living room clean up” a phrase like, “I feel unhappy because I’m the only one tidying up the living room and could really use some help.” It’s a tactful way to assign blame without them feeling like they’re being talked down to.
7. Chose a relaxation technique
Whether it is deep breathing exercises, yoga, listening to soothing music, or writing poetry in a journal, we can all find a way to make ourselves feel more relaxed. The anger will melt away and we’ll feel great again!
