How to make your daily interactions less stressful. How can you make your interactions with others less stressful? Make a note of the number times your emotional sense of well being was disrupted and you felt stressed out enough to have an outburst during the day. Was it during a conversation or during a meeting? Was it with family, co-workers or strangers? Begin by finding out your emotional disruption ratio or percentage.

How many times per 10 encounters or interactions were so upset that it affected the next activity you had to do? If you have 20 interactions and you significantly emotionally upset, 2 times, then your disruption ratio was 1 to 10 or 10%. If your disruption ratio or percentage is 5 out of 10, or 50% then you have a lot to work on. How can you do this?

Get a stress-free -living journal or notebook and write down those encounters that emotionally disrupted you.. Unless you have a way to regularly evaluate your progress throughout your stress management journey, you will not have sustainable success. How can you tell your daily mini goals if you don’t evaluate them? Are you regularly having the thoughts and conversations that will help you eliminate stress? Are you reducing or eliminating those situations that predispose you to stressful encounters based on your personality or compass profile? Are you keeping stress out of your relationships and conversations? How can you do that?

Plan ahead and form the habit of listening with intensity, so that you can tell when you are being insulted or disrespected. Determine if you will respond, let it go or lash out. I typically do not recommend lashing out because you lash out, the other person is most likely to respond by lashing out too. This leads to more conversational frustrations and anger.

Instead of lashing out learn to make strategic adjustments in your conversations. Be patient with yourself. Be prepared to learn from your own mistakes or from your critics. Remember that explanations, explain nothing. Don’t assume that when you explain yourself to others that they would understand. Most of the time they won’t.

Make a list of activities you consider realistic that will help you reduce stress from your daily conversations and interactions. You have to stick to your plan and accomplish the tasks on your list one after the other. If you do this day in, day out, week after week, you will form habits that will help you gain in a better ability to manage both the expected and unexpected emotional disruptions and stressful encounters without losing it!
