to cool down and think
It's time for us to cool down and think.
U nedostatku šireg konteksta, pada mi na um nešto ovako opisno i u skladu sa značenjem same fraze.
"stati na loptu sa značenjem ‘smiriti strasti, zaustaviti
prenagljena zaključivanja, trezveno razmotriti situaciju’."

Bujas nudi "to cool down the game".
Jedino ne znam koliko vam ovo "cool down" stilistički paše u tekstu koji prevodite.

Hm, možda bi zapravo još bolja varijanta bila "to pause and think"

cool your jets// look before you leap
We'd need more context to be sure which phrase fits best.
I proposed two options above.

: I agree that more context is needed. In sports, for instance, neither would apply
