First, realizing that your reactions (usually an expression of anger) are resulting from stress and not from the behaviour of the other person.
Second, inserting a pause between your immediate reaction and your response allowing yourself time to moderate and change it.
Finally, recognizing that your reaction is an indicator of stress and then doing whatever it is that makes you less stressed. Exercise, vacation, reading, etc.
