Don’t get mad at the help

If you’re talking to someone who’s in the position of helping you and they make a mistake or even rub you the wrong way, remember that they are just trying to help. Forgive them.

So if they irritate or frustrate or annoy you, take a deep breath, relax, and let it go. Remember, they are only trying to help. Consider if there is something else that is bothering you that is causing you to feel tense. Relax your body and reset your mind. Then continue to talk to the person calmly and collected.

Easier said than done. This happened to me recently, and while I was frustrated, I did my best to not be rude. I’d say I could have done a bit better. One thing I could have done is say “it’s okay” when they made a mistake. Be patient with people around you. Sometimes they get nervous for whatever reason. Be kind to them and they will be kind to you in turn
