Keeping a pleasant demeanour (not exaggerated smiling) and maintaining friendly eye contact (not looking away or staring in a challenging manner) will convey the appropriate non-verbal messages.

03). Do send the message, “I’m here to help”.

= The angry person wants to feel special. They will be looking for clues in your word and actions that say, “This person understand my concerns and is willing to help”.

If you are feeling stressed out, turn off your phone for a few hours, especially if it is after working hours, and have a stress free evening. It also helps you achieve a healthier balance between work and your personal life.
