There are times when everything around you is annoying. A person breaks down on other people, even close and loved ones, and later comes awareness and regret about what he has done. You need to learn to restrain your emotions.
Instructions
Step 1
When you feel that you are about to "explode", do not rush to say anything. Take a short pause and be quiet. In a minute, you will realize that this was the right decision.
Step 2
In a moment of rage, draw in a full chest of air and hold your breath. Then exhale slowly. Breathe deeply for a minute - it will calm you down. At the same time, come up with a calm and balanced answer.
Step 3
Imagine yourself from the outside at the moment when you break down. Distorted features, completely unpleasant facial expression. Control yourself so as not to appear like this in front of other people.
Step 4
Hit your interlocutor mentally or imagine him in some ridiculous situation. Better to laugh than yell at a person.
Step 5
Fence off your opponent with a virtual wall and imagine that you are in a quiet, protected place. Imagine that you are lying on a beach, where you can hear the sound of waves, or walking in a forest glade. Think of the places where you experienced pleasant emotions.
Step 6
If you are indoors, move to fresh air. Take a deep breath and walk calmly for a while. You can rinse your face with cool water to cool your ardor.
Step 7
Make a commitment to yourself that you will not be frustrated at the first opportunity. Start tomorrow. Hang on just a couple of times and gradually get used to calm problem solving. Always analyze a difficult situation to see what will help you hold back next time.
Step 8
Let your emotions go out with exercise. Work out, go to the pool or fitness club, or arrange a daily run. If you wish, do your gardening work. You will not only become calmer, but also give vent to the accumulated excess energy.
Step 9
Try to understand that your interlocutor is also a person and has the right to express his thoughts and evaluate the world around him and people according to his own principle. And it is not at all necessary that his opinion coincides with your point of view. This is not a reason to be frustrated. Just do not completely isolate yourself from such people, even if it is difficult for you to communicate with them.
