Here is a question I liked in The Daily Stoic Journal and my answer to it:

What would happen if I took a second to cool down?

• Feelings would be saved.
• Words that shouldn’t be spoken would be silenced.
• Trust would be maintained.
• Regret would be unnecessary. 
• Guilt would be spared.
• Relationships would be preserved.
• Judgment would be deferred.
• Love would be honored.
• Day would be made.
• Pride would be deserved.
• Self would be disciplined.
