How to not be so irritable?

 

I tend to be very irritable about many things, so I am actually the person who needs some good advice on this topic.

To avoid being so irritable, I try to act like a ghost and usually think about something more important to save my energy instead of wasting it on trivial situations.

If I really have to express negative feelings, I express them straightforwardly, directly, and right away.

I also received some advice from my buddy chatGPT, which I have included below.

 

If you find yourself feeling easily irritated, there are a few strategies you can try to help manage your emotions and reactions.

One approach is to practice mindfulness, which involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment.

This can help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations, and can help you recognize when you are becoming irritated before it becomes too intense.

You can also try deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation to help release tension and promote relaxation.

 

Another approach is to identify and address any underlying issues that may be contributing to your irritability, such as stress, lack of sleep, or unresolved conflicts.

By addressing these underlying issues, you may be able to reduce your overall stress level and feel more calm and centered.

You can also try to cultivate more positive emotions, such as gratitude, kindness, and compassion.

These emotions can help counteract negative emotions like anger and irritability, and can help promote feelings of well-being and happiness.

 

Finally, it can be helpful to practice good self-care by getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in regular physical activity.

These basic self-care practices can help support your overall physical and emotional health, and can help you feel more resilient and better able to manage life's challenges.

 

Today's gratitude diary.

I appreciate being able to continue what I have been doing and what I planned, despite the challenges.

Although I know some of my plans were not easy or realistic, I am truly grateful that I was able to complete many of them before returning home.
