How to stay calm when everything around you is hectic?

Yes, it is possible to avoid losing your temper at work, despite the boss's constant shouting and that awful phone that never stops ringing.
Here are some tips to avoid an internal meltdown.

1- Learn to channel your energy
It's difficult, when you're exhausted, have personal problems, and a pile of overdue files on your desk, to stay calm and politely answer the slightly silly colleague who bombards you with stupid questions... It's difficult not to explode and say things you'll regret an hour later.
Learning to manage your emotions, to channel them, whether through sports or New Age techniques, is essential, however, within the company.

2- Learn to keep perspective
Finding inner peace, a little well-being, a daily emotional quality, is always about controlling negative emotions, outbursts, without suppressing or eliminating them. Rather, it's about hearing them and reinvesting them in positive energy, action, and efficiency. Ultimately, satisfaction... It's about remaining, most of the time, measured, in a continuous relativization of events.

3- Learn to understand your anger
Ask yourself if your anger is deep-seated, how long it has lasted, what its possible source is, whether it's a result or rather a fleeting and pointless outburst. Also ask yourself if it's located in your head, chest or heart? (Buddhist technique). Assign it a color according to its intensity, its destructive power: blue, yellow, or green? Depending on its nature, take the time to seek and find the appropriate response. Understanding is mastering. Understanding is dominating. Understanding is surpassing.

Anger - let's quickly remind ourselves - when very violent, can control us. Refusing to be the toy, the victim, of such a powerfully negative emotion is only possible if you have the strength to never lose sight of the fact that its nature is often emptiness, an illusion of the moment and above all danger.
