Don’t let your “hot buttons” spoil your chances
lifehack.org: "Everyone has “hot buttons.” They’re your tender spots, the places where you’re most sensitive, the points where you get irritated, or hurt, or angry, and have to respond. The trick to preventing them from messing up your day is awareness: The more aware you are of what rattles the bars of your cage, the more you’ll be able to catch yourself before you do any damage. If you don’t, you’ll be doing cold turkey for a while as you try to recover from some bad mistakes."

Knee jerk reactions in emotional situations can be really damaging to a professional relationship. Walking away and taking the time to cool down is the best reaction when someone hits your “hot button”, yet sometimes that’s not possible when there is an issue that has to be settled. I have always been told three deep breaths is the best way to ease anxiety and anger mentally and physically.
