Waiting to make a decision or even saying something you may regret is an acquired skill I have been working on. It is good to have this idea posted here to get some additional ways to wait, be patient until there has been time to see the situation from a few different points. When you wait and take the emotion or energy of the moment out of your perspective, you may find that you do not even need to comment on what seemed so urgent when the heat of the moment was present.
