Lately, I’ve found myself in a few situations where emotions run high whether it’s mediating between friends or navigating workplace disagreements. As someone who usually thrives on structure, I’m curious how others handle staying productive when things get tense.
Do you have any go-to strategies for keeping a clear head? Maybe a way to pause and reset before responding, or even a physical habit that helps ground you? I’ve tried taking deep breaths, but I’m wondering if there are other tricks out there. How do you balance empathy with staying focused on solutions? Would love to hear what’s worked for you.
