How to keep composure
Don't take it personally.
In many stressful situations, you might be tempted to perceive personal persecution or insult when none exists. For instance, sometimes at your place of employment, a coworker may make a decision that you disagree with or find to be inappropriate.

+ Suppressing negative thoughts can help you control and calm down, while also elevating your mindset. Focused and relaxing thoughts are often the best foundations for introspection.
+ The person might have an opinion about you and your job that you disagree with. They might also be spending the whole day picking fights over who should do what, or try to undermine your position in the workplace.
+ Be aware of your own self-respect, as well. For instance, if you are very obvious about the importance of sticking to the rules, but your boss thinks you can be inappropriate, then you might feel less insecure about your decisions.
+ However, do not take this as a personal affront to you but instead as a business decision. Assure yourself that everyone has their own ideas and that those ideas will inevitably be at odds with yours on occasion.
