Excessive irritability is a consequence of frequent stress and chronic fatigue. Irritable people get tired much faster, so we can say that the two conditions condition each other. Using the following tips, you will not only overcome your irritability, but also make life much brighter and more interesting.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have a calm and sensible friend, then tell him about your problems, and in general, just speak out. Most likely, he will be able to give you good advice by looking at the current situation from a different point of view, or he will simply show empathy and participation towards you: in any case, it will only be beneficial. Also, talking about their experiences, a person can calm down on their own and think about what is happening more rationally.
Step 2
Whatever happens, remember that your life is going on. It almost never happens that failure follows you in all areas: at work, at home, in love or friendship, with money or health. If something unpleasant happened in one area, then compensate for it with positive emotions from another. For example, if you have a problem with your boss, schedule a weekend meeting with your friends, relax and unwind with them. Have a fight with your loved one? Put all your energy into the work, this will allow you to escape from bad thoughts.
Step 3
Remember the most effective way to deal with anger: Count to ten before speaking. If that doesn't help, then do some physical exercise or get busy, this way you will use up all the accumulated adrenaline. Also in such situations, you can do auto-training: having taken a comfortable position, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths and exhalations, at the same time imagine that you are in a pleasant place for you.
Step 4
Only small capricious children argue stubbornly, not listening to the voice of reason. Don't be like them. The ability and desire to find a compromise in any situation will save your nerves.
Step 5
One of the main reasons for irritability is the desire to be perfect and to please everyone. If you fail, then immediately the mood spoils and self-flagellation begins. Remember that no one has ever managed to be perfect in everything, and no matter what you are, there will always be a “well-wisher” who will gladly point out your shortcomings. Get simpler, have fun with what you do, and ignore any attempts to piss you off.
Step 6
Pay attention not only to the negative aspects of the people around you. Often our mistake is that we take people's dignity for granted, and at the same time we see only flaws. Try to pay more attention to only positive qualities, and you will immediately notice that your mood quickly improves.
