Ep 163: Everyday Frustration

How the Little Things Build

Summary

  • Understanding the everyday irritations and frustrations that we tend to ignore can help get our anger when we yell (or do other things we regret).
  • Look at something that irritates you about your partner or kids on a daily basis.
    • Don’t pick up; How they eat; Don’t flush the toilet.
  • We tend to brush off these little irritations because we excuse it away with our inner voice.
  • We silently dismiss our right to feel how we feel about a situation. We, in essence, ‘should’ on ourselves when it comes to feelings.
  • When we should on our feelings, no matter how small, it builds in our body.
  • At a certain moment, under stress (illness, exhaustion) we then express the build up anger in ways we regret like yelling.
  • We often then mask why we’re truly angry and then loose clarity to finding the best solution for ourselves.
