You can hardly find a person who has never been irritated over trifles. They pushed me into the subway, the child scattered toys, the husband did not wash the dishes after him - and now your mood is already ruined. So that such little things do not poison your life, you need to learn how to deal with your irritability.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to accept people for who they are. Remember that even the people who are closest to you do not have to fully meet your expectations and ideas about them. Be condescending to others, forgive them minor flaws and mistakes.
Step 2
When you feel that you are beginning to get annoyed, turn your attention to something else. For example, count to 10 or mentally fence yourself off from your interlocutor with a high wall. It is also helpful to get into the habit of looking for the positive in everything. Husband didn't wash the dishes? But he is a good family man and a caring father, and these qualities outweigh his minor flaws.
Step 3
Avoid situations that usually irritate you. If you waste valuable minutes every morning looking for keys, make it a habit to always put them in the same place. Do you feel bad about your daily commute on public transport? Try not to use it during rush hour, agree with your employer to come to work a little earlier or later. Also, limit your interactions with people you don't like.
Step 4
Visit your doctor and check your health. Irritability and resentment can be caused, for example, by problems with the thyroid gland. Pay due attention to your body: sleep at least 8 hours, spend more time outdoors, exercise regularly, try to eat more vegetables and fruits, and limit alcohol consumption.
Step 5
Analyze if everything suits you in your life. Perhaps your irritability is caused by dissatisfaction with yourself or your life, the contradictions between your desires and available opportunities. In this case, you cannot deal with irritability without solving the underlying problem. In such a situation, it is worth visiting a qualified psychologist or psychotherapist.
