a bit tangental :) recently I was wearing headphones for a zoom meeting, when someone in the same apartment asked me if I could turn down the volume, since it was so loud they could hear everyone on the meeting even with my headset on.
I had not realized how loud I was turning the system volume up in meetings, and after being conscious to it and joining at half volume, I noticed my stress during meetings and around calls in general has gone down a lot.
When I was a case worker that was one of my go-to's to get back control of a call. Turning the volume down on someone who's screaming at you over the phone makes them seem so small and reminded me that they can't hurt me. Stress goes down quickly.
