Control of Emotions, During Difficult Conversations at Work

It’s hard not to get worked up emotionally when you’re in a tense conversation. After all, a disagreement can feel like a threat. You’re afraid you’re going to have to give up something — your point of view, the way you’re used to doing something, the notion that you’re right, or maybe even power – and your body therefore ramps up for a fight by triggering the sympathetic nervous system.

What number of ways do you think would be great ways to help control how you feel, during conversations at work that drive you up the wall and want to scream out in frustration, or if you want to cry?

These ways could be simple reminders to not think critical of people in those situations, or to just avoid the conversation by leaving as quick as you are able to.

Everybody is emotional but the way each person controls temperament differs. Both at home or office, it is better to control your emotions during exchange of hoot words. Don't be abusive.

It is highly essential to control your emotions in your work environment. Never allow your emotions to control you for which you will have pay a heavy price.

It is indeed that we need to control our emotions when working with other people. However, if the causative factor is not acceptable, it needs to call the attention of the HR Department.

I agree with the three of you, but as my opening post asks, "What number of ways do you think would be great ways to help control how you feel, during conversations at work that drive you up the wall and want to scream out in frustration, or if you want to cry?

These ways could be simple reminders to not think critical of people in those situations, or to just avoid the conversation by leaving as quick as you are able to."

You can control your emotions by Playing a song. For me back then when customers are annoying me to the point of breaking i simply put my ear buds and play some songs to calm myself down.
