Adaptations for emotional factors

If you are using deep breathing as an approach to help control your anger, you could make some of the following changes to your development plan:

Change frequency

If during monitoring, you find you are not yet mastering deep breathing, you can increase the frequency from two to four times a week.

Doing it more often will increase your chances of mastering the approach and help you control your anger over a shorter space of time.

Change approach

If you comment in your training diary that you feel like deep breathing is starting to get boring, you can change your approach to positive self-talk.

Doing this will ensure you stay motivated as you are doing something different to control your anger, which can lead to you trying your hardest in sessions again.
