Getting irritated about little stuff

Re: Getting irritated about little stuff

I deal with the same issue. I blow up over stupid crap. My wife got to a point ready to leave me over it. So I have been working over the past few years to keep it under check and try and shift my mind to something else. But I feel ya man. Crazy thing is we end up just doing harm to our bodies as you said, crank up that cortisol.

Thats what is so dangerous about those little bursts of rage. Science says its the accumulation of all the low level stress responses we put ourselves thru all day long that cause heart disease and other degenerative changes in the body and brain. I try to pay attention now to how the law of cause and effect influences my overall life. The results tend to reflect our attitude. Not to overthink things, but I try to pay attention and be mindful of how much damage is done to my general mood when i let our emotions get the better of me. Sometimes these events have a chain reaction in our lives, people end up going from one calamity and crisis to the next because they keep recreating the same mindset that started the whole ball rollling. It then becomes a revolving cycle of negative emotions=negative results and they just attribute it to bad luck, without even knowing they are creating the very reality they are hating. They cant break the cycle. We are the creators of our lives. The longer I live, the more aware I am of this. I wish I had understood this when I was much younger, I could have saved myself a lot of grief over nothing lol
