How I did it: I don't know if the amount of time is really accurate because I don't really know when it actually happened, I mean, it just happened. It's an amazing feeling but also kind of one that brings me down sometimes mostly because I get this overwhelming feeling that I'm being way to apathetic.

The best part about accomplishing this is I've become much more mellow. I used to have huge anger issues and if something pissed me off I was someone no one wanted to be around. Now, I'm much more mellow and actually have people commenting on how they wish they could be so relaxed as me.

I can't really say exactly how I did it, it was something of a mental thing for me. Each time something would bother me, I would look around at other people and see how ridiculous they were and say to myself, I'm not going to be like that. If something that would normally piss me off came up, say doctors app is behind schedule and I've got shit to do, I would just say no big deal and just let things work themselves out. I've found this has positive effects on other people as well such as receptionists, who find it a breath of fresh air during a busy day to not encounter someone who gets irate easily.

Lessons & tips: there are many ways for people to do this and I'll bet not many would be able to have the self control I did. possibly some psychology would help some, maybe meditation. I guess the biggest thing is just relax.
