My Anger Management

Sometimes when we are angry, we want to vent all our emotions to anything or anyone that comes our way. We may displace it to anything or to anyone we think we're more authoritative of. Sometimes we use to blame them for our misfortunes. Whichever of those defense mechanisms you use, are you actually using the right one?

I woke up early this morning late and honestly for some reason I wasn't able to sleep very well last night. My back was aching and every small noise wakes me up (I tried to think of blaming my hubby for the discussion we had about not able going to sleep well before going off to bed, but I brushed the thought away but I was starting to get frustrated about my lack of sleep.) Since almost simple noises keeps me awake, I tried to make use of the time left before my day starts and it was even a rainy morning, so love the feeling to sleep around, but around 7 am my mom woke me up for an errand and there I was trying to sleep my sleepless night away. I calmly accepted and told her to do it later. Another event earlier this morning was, when I was about to wash my little angel's feeding bottles but I couldn't find one bottle she used (since she really loves throwing it away after she empties it). I searched the room, the kitchen and only found it's cover. I asked my hubby if he was able to find it during the clean up in our room but said no, even told me he put it out already. I spent almost 30 minutes only to realize it was there with him all along. That irked me! 

My temper was not stable already. It seemed everything that goes along my way easily makes me mad. I was losing my patience, was losing my temper. I easily raised my voice on my hubby and almost started nagging... but then again, I remembered the promise I made to myself not to nag. I tried to think over it while washing the bottles. I realized it's not healthy after all. Blaming other people won't help, nagging won't do you good and punishing yourself with that kind of feeling will lessen years of your life to live. 

Realizations started to rush over me. First was, I shouldn't blame my hubby for my lack of sleep; it was raining and as long as there's no flood going to happen, let's just love the rain; my mom just wanted to ask me something so let her have it; the bottle? looking around the house, above and under the tables and cabinets served as exercise! So, I guess no matter how angry I was becoming, it is still my choice if I'll let other people or even myself ruin my whole day. Even if it almost did at the end of the day but it's another story.

I learned a lot today and I hope you too.

Anyway, saw this on youtube, thought maybe we can at least learn from these babies? lol :-) it's nappy commercial but it's indeed funny.
