STOP
think
then proceed
4. Sympathize more.
This will help you to get angry less. Technically, you allow anger to
arise, but you choose to not react. Of course there will always be
frustrating and unfair people or situations, but how you react is your
choice. Think of one reason, in every situation, why that may have
understandably happened. This always helps me leave the situation
peacefully. For example, what if that driver who cut you off is
someone’s grandma? You wouldn’t want someone to flip off your grandma if
she made a mistake! Sure, it could have been a jerk who always drives
like a maniac, but you don’t know that. Give people the benefit of the
doubt, assume they’re trying their best even if it doesn’t show. For
your own sanity if nothing else!
saturday i was at a park for exercise and really needed to pee the older gentleman working in the maintenance shed would not allow me to use his restroom told me that the center opened at 8 it was well after 8. I told him thank you and that i hope someday someone treats his wife and daughter as poorly has he has treated me. He was speechless and i still had a full bladder thank goodness for nice gas station attendants :)
