After what happened today, I realized I need to learn managing my anger...and especially "self anger" - if I could call it like that. Oh...no...nothing dramatic happend...not a big deal at all...just a small insignificant thing which almost ruined my whole evening: after getting to the gym I realized I had forgotten my sports shoes home. Very stupid, I know. So I had to come back home, take the shoes and go back! It took me around 15 minutes...but those 15 minutes were full of wrath. I was so angry at myself, I just couldn't believe I left them home...it's like going to school without a school bag, or to the swimming pool without a bathing suit.
After "mrrrrrr"ing to myself like a mad dog until home and back, I realized that nothing was going to change the situation...except my attitude. Instead of being angry, I could just be happy that nothing serious occured, I am fit and pleased that the weekend started...So, with these positive thoughts I returned to the gym and let all my negative enregy out.
Unfortunatelly, this "self anger" keeps disturbing me at least 2 or 3 times a week. One day, the metro leaves in front of my nose, because I remebered to put some perfume on, before getting out of the door (which took me just 1 minute...1 minute in which I could have managed to get on the metro), the other day, I am angry I said something which I souldn't have said...and the list goes on... In order to start my "self anger management therapy", I searched the world wide web to see what others do in such situations and this is what I found:

:) I will try some of the tips and let you know weather they helped or not. ;) Until then I will keep repeting to myself: "For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness" or "If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size? - Sydney J. Harris"
Hope it will work! :)
