How to overcome irritability?

Psychological research shows that there are various biological clocks in the human body, each with its own cycle. For example, the intellectual biological clock cycles once every 33 days, the emotional biological clock cycles once every 28 days, and the physical biological clock cycles once every 23 days. So it is normal for people to feel mood swings and irritability sometimes. Although we cannot change our biological clock, regulating and relieving negative emotions is particularly effective in treating various uncomfortable phenomena. Next, let’s take a look at how to overcome irritability.

1. Psychological suggestion: Suggestion is a psychological phenomenon, which can be divided into positive suggestion and negative suggestion. When you are in a bad mood, if you give yourself negative suggestions, it will only make things worse and make you more irritable. At this time, you should give yourself positive suggestions, remind yourself that this is normal, the clouds will eventually dissipate, and at the same time, think about some of the good scenes and things you are proud of in the past, which can relieve psychological pressure. The "Ah Q spiritual victory method" that people often talk about is actually a positive psychological suggestion from a psychological point of view. It should be said that this method is very effective in specific periods and occasions.

2. Goal shifting method: If you feel upset and unable to concentrate because of something or someone, don’t force yourself to do anything. At this time, you may want to watch TV, listen to music, write in a diary, or read one or two beautiful articles. Don’t think that this is a waste of time. In fact, “sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood”. Your emotions will be relieved and relaxed quickly, and you will be able to better do what you should and want to do.

I hope that the above methods of overcoming irritability can help you. When you feel irritable, you must learn to control yourself. Count to three silently in your mind before losing your temper, and your anger will usually subside. People who are prone to irritability should develop a good lifestyle, try not to stay up late, and practice yoga on a regular basis.
