New Ways to Avoid Getting Mad at Each Other

Human nature is complex with memories, experience and emotions built up inside since the day you were born. When we are having a smooth day, it's great, everything is going your way. But since we don't live alone, the world is full of people and energies bouncing. Knowing this, a negative wave is bound to come your way. A way to defeat depends on the way you react and overcome that negative charge. It is a smart thing to practice how to change it into a positive and balance you out.

Why? It can save alot great energy you have, might get you more than you expected if you had opened your mouth or done something you would regret. My friend used to tell me to say "Three, Two One, One Two Three...What the Hell is Bothering me" But that sure didn't get me calmed down when I was in a situation and ready to blast an uproar, or the time I was determined to speed up to cut off the driver that had just cut me on the road.

Now, I've found a way to avoid getting mad over nothing and this applies to everything especially because it's working for me with road rage.

Step 1:

Pretend it's someone you love in the next car. All of the sudden competition drops, prespiration and adrenaline stops and the ego trip is gone.

Step 2:

Breath deep slowly 3 times and do it over till you calm down

Step 3:

Know your life is worth more than just this moment to "win" the race or argument.

When it's road rage, just remember it's point a to b that really counts, why rush, if they want to go let them go. But more importantly, just PRETEND they're your family member and it'll work.


Peace in the Middle east, World and especially Roads.
