Honestly, we do not like being annoyed but the world is a bitch and we always tends to be more and more agitated if things do not pan out our way, right? When I have some important work to do, my dog keeps bumping the toy on my keypad or grabs my footwear and starts chewing it, in a hope that I would give him attention. It sounds cute, I know but it frustrates me as what I want is just a little bit more focus while I do whatever I am doing. It is just not about it, even when I have few minutes and I think, "Okay, now I am going to clean my room, make my bed and read a novel for an hour", the doorbell rings or it's either my phone. And, when I don't get that particular free "sunday", I get super annoyed and exhausted. I shout, I scream and then I feel like crying.
Irritation. I am pretty sure, I am not alone. Here are ways I have decided to cope up with.
- Whenever I feel like screaming at my dog, (it's usually him), I'll take a deep breathe, calm down and show him a treat in order to shut him in his crate. It may sound cruel to you, but what is crate-training for after all?
- I will try to avoid thinking what people did, or how foolish or selfish they might be acting. I'll let go off all the expectation I have of them and do what I can do best within my own limits and not do what I do not want to. Why force myself in being the "nice" person? Why?
- I dislike the person I become when I am annoyed and usually, it's me who is bored and not the other person. I decide to take less load and do what I want to do instead of doing what I am "expected" to. Trying to be nice, I forget what my first priorities are.
- If I am irritated with someone, instead of taking it out, I'll count to ten and tell them that I will talk to them later when the time is right. I guess, it will be much better than shouting insults.
These are my thoughts which might help me tackle my irritation levels. Are you annoyed of the world around that often? Let me know your ways. :)
