Road to Riches (UMS Journal)

[DavisMind91]

Past couple days I've been very easy to irritate. People in general, especially women are getting on my nerves. Had a confrontation with one yesterday, and my supervisor almost pushed me to my breaking point today. Even though I stood my ground; before I snapped, I simply decided to ignore her messages towards me and and not feed her any more energy. Especially since I got so pissed yesterday that I got a headache, even after venting my frustrations. Times like that make me miss LTU5, I never got that pissed while on LTU5, except for one time where I felt highly disrespected. My anger over the past 3-4 days seem to have built up, and I don't even feel it's because of UMS. I also notice that once people get put in their place they try to be friendly. Thing is, I'm having a tough time letting go of anger like i used to. People also have had a bad habit of cutting me off while I speak, which is one of my pet peeves, so I'm not sure if that's some sort of reversal resistance to the "celebrity effect" that UMS generates.

Have you ever tried the 4-7-8 breathing technique (time investement is about 30 seconds) to take the edge off of your anger? I have found it to have a profoundly grounding effect on me. Not to mention that it helps me to fall asleep a lot faster.

I actually just learned that technique 3 weeks ago, can't believe I forgot about it. I usually get so angry that I don't want to hear, or even do anything positive when I get to that level, so I'll make a conscious effort to prevent myself from getting there by trying this technique next time.
