Step Back when Frustrated

When you can't see eye to eye with another person, having conflict is usually counter-productive. Step back, take break. Many times we react in irrational ways due to circumstances we have encountered during our day; we may be just hungry, or have higher priorities. I practice "loving words first". Say something positive before going negative. We all enjoy hearing loving words first.
