Life troubles, stressful situations, feeling unwell, lack of sleep - all this can cause the accumulation of negative emotions inside a person. If they are ignored and not controlled, then sooner or later they will spill out.
Instructions
Step 1
Identify their source. Irritation and over-sensitivity can be caused by a lack of proper rest, being around an unpleasant person, a lot of stress, and so on. Therefore, before dealing with negative emotions in general, you need to understand where they come from.
Step 2
Avoid the negative. Very often, people's thinking is influenced by their environment. Therefore, you should not be surprised that you are more categorical than before, if people revolve around you who constantly criticize others, look for their shortcomings and speak out about everything only in a negative light. Try to stay away from them. If this is not possible, then disagree with their words and, if necessary, turn the conversation into a positive direction. Over time, they will either catch your gaze, or they will not share negative thoughts with you, knowing that you will not keep the conversation going. The same goes for negative transmissions or situations that give you denial - they have no place in your life.
Step 3
Be patient. Tune in to the fact that people around you will give you trouble. Don't take their shortcomings personally and be lenient. If you feel that you are about to explode, then mentally distract yourself, take a few deep breaths, or leave the room altogether for a few minutes to rest and take a breath.
Step 4
Get some rest. When a person does not get enough sleep at night or is so busy during the day that he cannot calmly sit down to rest and have a snack, fatigue begins to accumulate and eventually spills out into negative emotions. Therefore, make it a rule, despite the workload, to take breaks at work and go to bed on time. If you don't succeed right away, then revise your daily schedule and make the necessary changes to it. You may have taken on many responsibilities that are beyond your power.
Step 5
Analyze situations. In order not to repeat your mistakes from time to time, you need to do a mental analysis of the situation and try to understand why you lost your temper. It will also be helpful to reflect on what you can do to prevent this from happening next time.
