Ever been really frustrated by your PC or work colleagues? Well here’s a video of some people who couldn’t take it.

How to Curb Anger, Frustration, or Stress

If you ever find yourself about to explode like that, stop whatever you’re doing and :

1. Recognize the stressful feeling and freeze your thoughts; tell yourself, “STOP! Chill… relax…” Give yourself a time-out break to calm down.
2. Make a sincere effort to shift your focus away from whatever was causing your frustration and focus on your breathing and heart area. Imagine you are breathing coolness into your heart and exhaling the heat of negative emotion. Do this for a minute or more.
3. Recall a positive experience or feeling from your past and re-experience it in your mind. This is as simple as recalling a happy memory or imagining a peaceful place you visited.

Doing these three simple steps will have enabled you to cool down. Now you are in a position to make a more objective, effective decision on how you will respond to your situation.

Remember that we are in charge of our thoughts and therefore our emotions. Don’t let your anger or frustration drag you into doing something drastic which can demolish your career, relationships and more.
