Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

“Being treated unfairly is not the end of the world.”
“When people behave badly or are different from me or when I don’t really know them, they are not totally bad people.”
“Does it make sense to be very angry about this – or just annoyed or frustrated?”
“Getting angry doesn’t help me – it will just make me feel bad.”
“Everyone deserves to be treated the way I would like to be treated – fairly and kindly.”
Find something fun to do
Have a cool drink
“Even though I don’t like it, I can put up with people who treat me unfairly.”
“Is this really the worst thing that could happen?”
“How big is my problem? The size of my reaction should match the size of the problem. How big do others see the problem? How big should my reaction be?”
Meditation
Take a nap
Timeout
“Do I have to get very angry about this?”
Jump in the pool/ocean

Anger
“Just because I feel angry doesn’t mean I have to act in an angry way.”

Listen to music
Find somewhere quiet to cool down
“When people don’t act the way I want them to, it’s not the worst thing that could happen to me.”
