How do I handle having to hang out with someone I can’t stand?

“You are somebody’s difficult person. And if you’re not, you need to change your behavior.” We've all been there - you're stuck in a room with someone whose views and opinions make you want to run away screaming. But when flight is not an option, can mindfulness help you keep your emotions on lock? Later, Jess leads a guided meditation practice you can direct towards the difficult people in your own life.
