Repeat after me,
"I embrace the opportunity to explore diverse perspectives to enrich my own understanding and growth."
Be mindful of the lens you're viewing your conversations through. Your emotional state alters your perception, so be mindful of this. Your perception is not the only valid perspective.
In order to see a more full picture, allow yourself to receive other angles.
When responding to differing opinions, don't speak impulsively. Impulsive behavior leads to misunderstandings and unintended consequences only because you didn't spend enough time with the thought before you shared it. More anxious or "high strung" moments of life call for more caution. Give yourself respect to formulate what you truly mean. Conversations aren't a competition.
Exercise patience and infuse grace in order to control what comes from you.
