I used to get angry all the time. Really angry.
One day my counselor said to me “listen, here’s what I want you to do. When you’re starting to feel angry, just ask yourself ‘does this really matter?’. If it matters, go ahead get angry. If it doesn’t matter then why bother getting angry?”
I rarely get angry now because almost nothing actually matters enough to get angry, once you start to ask yourself the question.
- andrei_says_ 6y agoI read this and think you rarely get angry because you replaced the habitual pattern of getting angry with the habit of asking a question instead. Choice where there wasn’t any. Great counselor ;)
