I don’t believe any of us sets out to experience drama on a daily basis. Many times it just happens.

But you can be prepared and eliminate it before it starts.

Here’s an excerpt from Drama Free that will help you — and someone you know — dial down the drama from morning till night.

15 Ways to Dial Down the Drama in Your Life: 

1. Listen more, talk less (James 1:19).
2. Guard your mouth (Proverbs 13:3; 21:23).
3. Don’t speak – or electronically post – quickly. There is always wisdom in waiting (Proverbs 29:20).
4. Address issues wisely, don’t avoid (Matthew 18:15).
5. Choose your friends carefully (Proverbs 12:26; 20:19).
6. Don’t listen to – or participate in – gossip (Proverbs 16:28; 21:23).
7. Part ways with a rude or brash person (Proverbs 22:10).
8. Dismiss an offense, don’t dwell on it (Proverbs 19:11).
9. Fear God, not people (Proverbs 29:25).
10. Stay away from those who anger easily (Proverbs 22:24).
11. Don’t play with what can be addictive (Proverbs 23:29-35).
