When you feel frustrated, annoyed, or otherwise troubled, embrace these feelings. Don’t avoid them. Acknowledge them without giving in to them. The more you do so, the more you’ll strengthen your impulse control.
Akshay
What does giving in to them entail? Continuing line of thoughts that go "I am...." - the first person narrative makes you give in to these negative feelings. Disengage and create an observer sphere that's looking at your body/mind from some distance Giving in to them also means reacting to them. You react to alleviate frustration or annoyance with something/someone but then often create another cycle of the same feelings. Communicating our annoyance in order to understand where it stems from is good but reacting to it by way of outbursts or anger only further increase our misery.
