Manage your negative emotions

When you’re able to manage and reduce your negative emotions, you’re less likely to get overwhelmed. 

If someone is upsetting you, don’t jump to conclusions. Instead, allow yourself to look at the situation in a variety of ways. Try to look at things objectively so you don’t get riled up as easily.

Practice empathy

Centering on verbal and non-verbal cues can give you invaluable insight into the feelings of your colleagues or clients.

Bounce back from adversity

How you react to challenges either sets you up for success or puts you on the track to full-on meltdown mode.
