Put yourself in the shoes of your offender. Some reactions come from lack of deeper thought or failure to understand the circumstance that led the person into making the decision that you now consider atrocious.

Engage in self-soothing acts. These acts are unique to each individual. While some people hum tunes they are fond of, others will stroll outside.
