2. I quickly visualize myself losing my cool --
screaming, red face, all that, and I imagine how I'd feel once I'd finished.

That almost always works. I hate myself when I flip out.

4. Concentrate on finding
"the perfect squelch"! In other words, I focus on finding the perfect put down to end the conversation/confrontation. I always figured I was smarter than most and should be able to talk my way into or out of any situation.
