When we as human beings get to the point of “losing control of our words” ( i.e. screaming, yelling, cursing, etc.), we have also caused a deficiency of Oxygen to our brains at that very time which controls our thoughts, feelings, and the motor skills necessary for us to move our mouths. I’m serious. Try it for yourself right now. Scream and try to breathe at the same time. Ha. Told you so. It’s impossible. Now, imagine feeling like you are going to verbally explode and now, take a super deep breath. Still feel like screaming? Likely not because you gave your brain needed Oxygen to send your mouth a message to “shut up now” and don’t attack your lover unless you want to be in the “Dog House”, again.
Is it really that simple that major fights can be solved if at least one of the two participants chooses to mindfully breathe and calm the situation down before it goes South? Yes, in fact, this is also proven by Science. Across the world of Species known to Man at this time, the Mastery and Mindfulness of the breath, containing Oxygen which is necessary for anything to live , especially during stressful situations, not only saves relationships , but also enables species to adapt to new unknown environments. Just ask a Crocodile why it is the only living species related to the existent dinosaur. She controls both her breathe and subsequent respiration and heart rate. She remains calm and cool as the storm of change surrounds her.
