In life, various things, people and events can be annoying. However, one type of individual reacts more calmly to what is happening, while others take everything too close to their hearts.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that working on yourself is not only about stopping overreacting to external stimuli, but also about finding a way to throw out accumulated negative emotions. Otherwise, repressed feelings will result in severe stress for you. Do not allow negative impressions to accumulate inside you.
Step 2
Try to relate to what is happening a little more fun, with a bit of humor. Surely in some situations you can not boil, but give a release of emotions through laughter. A joke will save you from an annoyed state and will not let circumstances unsettle you. Look at the situation from the outside. Find something funny about the way the circumstances worked. Draw an analogy with a comedy.
Step 3
Do not exaggerate the significance of what happened to you. Take a look at the situation globally. Surely this episode will not entail serious consequences for your life and health. Therefore, there is no reason to react so strongly to it. Think about the fact that you are undermining your health, wasting your nerves for nothing. Imagine if what happened will matter to you in a few years. Perhaps this will help you hold back.
Step 4
Control your emotions at least in order not to look ugly in the eyes of others. A person who can get mad at any trifle evokes pity or laughter. Some people may not understand your emotionality and consider your behavior inappropriate. Think about the potential damage to your love life and career. After all, some individuals will turn away from an unbalanced personality.
Step 5
Monitor your mood. If you remember all the good things that have happened to you lately, and are generally happy with your life, you will not be pissed off by the little things. Therefore, excessive irritability should be considered as a signal that you are not doing well. You may be experiencing a personal crisis. Maybe unresolved issues press you and make you nervous about everything. Put things in order in your head and life. Tune in to the positive and don't let yourself be turned on.
Step 6
Sometimes other people act as irritants. These can be loved ones, friends, or colleagues. Think about what you dislike about a particular individual and why. Next, you should recognize that a person has a right to his own character and his shortcomings, and your opinion is not the final authority. Consider if you yourself are annoying someone. Cultivate tolerance. Remember that those around you probably have reasons to do this and not otherwise. If you understand that someone is deliberately hurting you, limit your communication with this person or manage to fight back in the form of the same pinning on your opponent.
