I try to take deep breaths and focus on making sure I am staying mindful and listening effectively to what the other person is saying. I also make sure I can convey what I need to in a way that respects me and who I am talking too.

I take a breather, if I need to...taking a break gives me a chance to calm my own emotions, sometimes by writing them down, then I can better attempt to see things from their perspective.

Always breathe before responding as this slows down your fight or flight response and allows you to calm your nervous system and choose a more thoughtful and productive response.
