Here is a powerful yet simple solution for dealing with your anger. Researchers found that writing down a reaction to a negative incident on a piece of paper and then getting rid of it - shredding or crumpling it into a ball and discarding it, can have a soothing effect.
Some people seem to have the edge from birth and are naturally more confident than others, but confidence can be developed at any time.
Spirituality is an essential part of our nature. 'Spiritual' does not only mean 'religious'. It has a lot to do with confidence, sense of purpose and wellbeing.
Not all anger is bad, so before you beat yourself up, it's worth understanding what triggers your anger and what you intend it to achieve. Then, here are some ways of getting better control over your angry outbursts (if you have them).
Fact checking is something we'd often prefer not to do. Even the best critical thinkers can be deluded, mistaken, or swayed, when it suits us.
Reflection is good, brooding is not. But how do you break the cycle of negative thinking? It is great that human beings can reflect and learn from experience, but that is not the same as destructively dwelling on things. Going over things again and again serves no useful purpose and may well reinforce the sense of failure. It's a habit worth breaking.
Beliefs about ourselves are rarely accurate. In general we tend to over-estimate how good we are at things, but when we are depressed we do the opposite. Wellbeing doesn't seem to be about accurate self-appraisal, it is more a question of using our imagination creatively.
Self-acceptance is important for psychological and spiritual wellbeing. But accepting yourself or your situation doesn't always go down well with others. I guess that's why they call it a 'personal journey'.
Knowing when to say sorry can set a difficult choice. We all know deep down how important it is to apologise but our instincts for self protect often prevent us from stepping up and making the apology at the right moment.
You can be highly intelligent and yet still mess up your life. To be happy and successful you need to develop your Emotional Intelligence as well as IQ.
