Go away from where ever you are at that moment. Go for a walk or go home for the day. Leave the meeting. This is something similar to what you learn as parent when the baby won't stop screaming: Just leave the room for a minute or two, if you feel you're losing control.
I ride my bike to work every day and naturally there are always people not behaving appropriately on the street and potentially endangering me. Depending on the severity I use a quick 👎 or🖕. Or a sarcastic 👍. Thankfully I had not yet have a situation where I need to confront the other party directly.
Great ideas! And you’re so totally right about the baby part. I’m so glad the hospital tells new parents that advice now.
And as a nice metaphor, sometimes when I put my baby down (if I’m getting frustrated) I come back two minutes later to find she’s fallen asleep. So sometimes accepting your anger (but not letting it control you) is a great way to see the anger disappear and for situation to resolve itself naturally. Thank you for the reminder.
