I am one of those "sit, watch and listen" kinds of audience members, whether it be music or sports, but I don't "get into it" like some people do.
We are complete opposites there buddy. From the first minute to the last minute, when the music comes on I am on the dance floor making moves. It's always puzzling to me how people can manage to sit/stand still when there is compelling music/beats in the background.
if we can become aware of the mechanism in play, the triggers that raise the temperature can also be the indicators that trigger a preemptive response before our temperature gets too high.
If only I could teach my partner that trick when I say something stupid or she misconstrues what I have to say. So much of our daily friction would be removed if she could do a better job not reacting as strongly to the dumb shit that comes out of my mouth without thinking.
