Article in English: STOPP is a handy acronym to help you remember to keep your calm in a situation. It has five easy steps:   Stop your immediate reaction. “Automatic thoughts” are habits of thinking that we’ve become accustomed to over our lives, but they’re often damaging. Stop what you’re doing and wait to react for a moment.  Take a breath. Use the deep breathing techniques in this article to take a few deep, calming breaths. You’ll think better afterward.  Observe what’s happening. Ask yourself what you’re thinking, what you’re focusing on, what you’re reacting to, and what sensations you’re experiencing in your body.  Pull back from the situation.

How important is this, really?  Practice what works. Consider what the consequences of your actions are, for you and for others. What’s the best way to handle this? Choose what will be most helpful. One common distortion in our thinking habits is personalization, where we make ourselves responsible for things that are not our responsibility.

For example, imagine that a coworker who often has anger issues yells at you for something. This is understandably upsetting. It’s not appropriate behavior. Now you have a choice: you can react automatically, or you can stop and think about what might really be going on. An automatic reaction might be “Joe must really be angry with me. What did I do? I hate this!” While understandable, this reaction doesn’t really help you calm down. A more helpful reaction could look like this: “Joe yelled me. That sucked, but I’m not the only person he yells at, and he flies off the handle pretty easily. He could be responding to something else in his life. Or he could just be an angry person. I don’t think I did anything wrong in this...
