While I will be irritated, sad, and sometimes depressed, I realize that it doesn’t have to take over my entire life. Not sure how I was able to reduce the anger I once had. I suppose it is a matter of getting older and getting closer to reaching other goals in my life.
There is no secret to learning how to not be angry. I guess it is a matter of acceptance, not avoidance. What helped me was understanding why I was angry, accepting it, and letting things go. I also understood my triggers (drinking too much, lack of sleep, not eating right, stress).
Another thing is that I think before I talk. But I always express my feelings. I don’t hold things in anymore. If you take the time to actually think about what you’re saying, it comes out clearer.
