We may become easily agitated or feel overburdened by these emotions.

Visualise: If you need a practical visual on the days when whining, crying, or yelling just keeps happening, try to imagine that it is bouncing off a "yell-proof" vest. Remind yourself that you are a calm and confident leader who can handle whatever comes your way.(Unsplash)
