Get a Rise Out of You

When someone is so obviously trying to get a rise out of you.... most of the time we're thick skinned enough to laugh it off. But when we're feeling a little stretched, a bit worn out, most of us tend to react.

The best thing to do when someone's trying to get a rise out of you is to rise above your reaction. Try not to expend energy by engaging in someone else's negativity. Instead, slowly count 1, 2, and 3, and conserve energy. If you can't laugh it off, stay cool and respond positively.
