0:00.0	This is Optimal Health Daily, episode 2518, seven powerful mantras to stop you from overreacting and
0:08.2	arguing with people by Mark Shernoff of mark and angel.com. And I'm Dr. Neil Malik.
0:14.9	Hey there and welcome to another bonus Sunday episode where I share an article from one of the other
0:20.2	podcasts in our network.
0:21.9	Today's post comes from Optimal Relationships Daily, where articles covering all types of
0:27.1	relationships are read to you every day. So with that, here's an article from Greg as we

1:47.0	tension, calms down our fight or flight reactions, and allows us to quiet our anxious nerves
1:54.0	and choose more considerate and constructive responses. So, for example, do your best to take
