Irritability negatively affects mental health and the state of the nervous system - it is difficult to restrain outbursts of emotions, and it is not always possible to perceive the situation calmly. Often one effort of will is not enough, and additional measures are required.

Step 1
Psychological methods of getting rid of excessive irritability are universal - calmness, joke, mirror perception. A standard situation - people around you annoy you, you lose your temper - you start screaming, getting nervous, doing stupid things. At the same time, the person-irritant gets what he was counting on - your emotions. Deprive him of this pleasure - keep calm, after a while you will notice with satisfaction how annoying it is. Moreover, if you learn to feel sorry for the person who annoys you, then the source of unpleasant emotions will cease to occupy your thoughts and take up time.
Step 2
An annoying situation always deserves a look from the outside - in fact, many of the parties to the conflict look very funny. Find the strength to look at the problem from a distance - you will get a different interpretation of events and have a little fun.
Step 3
The time from irritability to outburst of anger is very short - only a few seconds. Learn to fill those seconds with productive activity - count to 10 and think about the situation at the same time. Think about the consequences - it should cool you down. If possible, do push-ups or pull yourself up (exercise does an excellent job with irritability).
Step 4
If the reason for your irritability is excessive demands on others, then learn to accept people as they are. There are no ideal people, everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. By accepting the presence of qualities in people that you do not like, you increase your self-sufficiency.
Step 5
Attacks of irritability, if suppressed, can lead to internal discomfort and cause multiple neuroses. Free your soul from negativity in accessible ways - prayer, communication. Conversations with reasonable and good-natured interlocutors are useful - such people have the ability to listen and always give an adequate assessment of the situation.
