Patience
After reading the chapter on patience and anger I was reminded again of the idea I discussed in my last post about taking the good with the bad. Whenever I start to feel angry or upset or depressed about something, I not only remind myself to be patient as it will not be permanent, I also remind myself that filling my head with negative thoughts about being upset will only make it worse. I remind myself that I am in control of my emotions and try to find something good to take my mind off it while I wait for it to pass. How do you all deal with anger during troubling times?
