Be more aware of your emotions
High emotional intelligence is a trait that helps you, among other things, know your own emotions and thus work better with them. Learn to feel your emotions. Make a note of when you feel the pressure rising or sense something is stressing you out or upsetting you. Observe what triggers these feelings and consciously work with your emotions, even the negative ones.
React to strong stimuli with a deliberately delayed response
An excellent way not to do or say something you will regret is to delay your reaction. Whenever a major stimulus appears, such as hearing negative news or something important going wrong, try to wait a few minutes before addressing the situation and commenting on it. This will allow you to calm down at least a little before you do anything else.
Incorporate breathing exercises or meditation into your daily routine
Try to incorporate more relaxation into your life. Do breathing exercises. Meditate in the morning. Play bird or jungle sounds on the car radio on your way to work. Practise yoga, stretch, train mindfulness. These are not just some esoteric oddities; they are highly effective techniques to learn how to manage stress and regain focus and calm quickly.
Eliminate things at work and in your life that cause you stress
Rarely do someone's emotions explode because of one single stimulus. A tantrum is usually caused by a combination of several stressors at once (in addition to a failure to regulate emotions). To avoid getting into these situations, focus on reducing stress at work and in your life in general. Is something bothering you in the long term? Is something stressing you out? Then work on this and relations with your subordinates will improve.
