Anxiety specialist Caroline Cavanagh says you can't control a difficult boss, but you can control how you respond. Choose to do the work well and take pride in it, even if the situation is frustrating. That choice gives you back your power.

And so even when people say, I can't control what my boss makes me do. No, you can't, but you can control how you respond to it. You can say, this is shit, I really hate it, you know, he's an XYZ. Or you can go, okay, by doing this to the best of my ability, I can take pride in what I've done, and it means that I'm going to get a salary at the end of the month, which means I can put food on the table. That's a choice.
