Managing your Chimp Exercising the Chimp If your Chimp is agitated or upset about something, the first thing it has to do is to release this emotion or opinion. This is called ‘Exercising the Chimp’. You must allow it to do this if it is to listen. Allowing the Chimp to express emotion will calm it down and then the Chimp will be able to listen to reason or just go to sleep.
