Danielle Ralston explains how to stay calm when things go wrong by focusing on what you can control: your reaction. She emphasizes recognizing what's outside your control and managing anger and frustration through your response.

Let's work through the conflict, see how we can, you know, move forward. Talking through the things that are within somebody's control, and even for the things that are outside of our control, how we handle that and recognizing that, hey, this isn't in my control. It sucks. It makes me angry. I just want to kick and scream and hit things, but it's out of my control. You know, all I can control is my reaction.
