If our patience is fraught we can become annoyed with the wrong person...
and say something we later regret.
Getting irritated signals we are running on auxiliary charge...
Aristotle wrote...
'Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person...
to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose and in the right way...
that is not easy.'
The key is to promise yourself that you always save your anger until the next day.
Then, if you still feel the same level of annoyance, ask yourself if it is being directed at the right person.
If it is not, then do something about it, by asking yourself what is really upsetting you.
If it is directed at the right person, then address the situation...at the right time.
Being irritated, annoyed or angry drains our batteries quicker than any other reason.
What to do?
First, smile at your problems and at yourself for getting things out of proportion...
Second, let go your emotional attachment to the outcome - consider it objectively...
Third, relax in the knowledge that whatever must be done...
is always done best... when you are re-charged.
