I feel inexplicably irritated

When people encounter unhappy things or bad things, they often feel irritated. In fact, we all know that irritability is a bad emotion. It will affect people's correct judgment of things, cause mistakes at work, and may hurt our loved ones at home. Therefore, we must learn to regulate ourselves reasonably, keep ourselves awake at all times, and keep irritability away from us. So what should we do when we feel inexplicably irritated sometimes?

2. Solutions to inexplicable irritability

1. Have at least one hobby: A person with good hobbies in life, such as stamp collecting, reading, boating or planting flowers, will make people feel that life is fulfilling, satisfying and happy.

2. Be able to try new things. When people’s lives fall into a monotonous and dull “old routine”, they will feel unhappy. If they participate in a new activity, it will not only expand the scope of life, but also bring new fun to life.

3. Try to do more things yourself: In life, if you rely too much on others and have too high expectations of others, you will easily be disappointed. If you can establish the concept of trying your best to do everything you can do yourself, you can avoid many of the bitter consequences brought by disappointment.

4. Make a few close friends: Friendship is conducive to physical and mental health. Get together with friends in your free time and chat about anything under the sun. This can not only broaden your horizons and exchange information, but you can also tell your friends what makes you angry. Friends will help you solve your problems and increase your confidence and courage to overcome difficulties and worries.

5. Don’t get stuck in a rut: Don’t take anything for granted, otherwise you will easily get stuck in a rut. We must learn to look at things and analyze problems from different perspectives, find different ways to solve problems, and get rid of the depression caused by a rigid way of looking at problems.

6. Learn to be tolerant and generous: In life, even if someone who is very close to you makes you angry or blames you, you should be more lenient in blaming them. Over time, people will be happy to be around you, and you will definitely experience the joy and comfort that harmonious interpersonal relationships bring.

7. Be willing to admit failure and flaws: It is inevitable for a person to encounter failure, disappointment, or have certain flaws himself. In this regard, it is important to remember what the philosopher William James said: "When you are willing to acknowledge the facts as they are, and to accept what has happened, you have taken the first step towards overcoming any misfortune that may follow."

8. Establish appropriate expectations: Here’s a piece of advice you should keep in mind. "The way to happiness is to not worry about things that are beyond our power." Otherwise, you are just asking for trouble.

9. Stick to your beliefs: A firm belief is a good way to overcome setbacks and failures. It can free people from pain, enable them to bend and stretch, and remain calm no matter in good or bad times.

10. Adequate sleep reduces liver fire: Some young people often stay up until two or three in the morning before going to bed, mistakenly believing that as long as they sleep for 8 hours, it doesn’t matter whether they go to bed early or late. Experts warn that people who often have reversed work and rest schedules and stay up late for long periods of time usually have unstable emotions. Because from 11pm to 1am is the time when qi and blood flow through the internal organs. If you don't sleep during this period, it is equivalent to forcing the liver to continue its decomposition work, and energy cannot be stored, causing the liver to have excessive yin and deficiency, and imbalance between yin and yang.

When liver fire rises, it is easy to feel tired, weak, and mentally exhausted, and your mood will be greatly affected. This is the principle of conserving one's energy. Good sleep quality is very important for relieving anxiety. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Many people get up early and go to bed late. In order to maintain sufficient energy, it is best to take a short nap in the afternoon. Even if you don’t take a nap, you should close your eyes and rest for a while.

11. Exercise moderately and relax: In hot weather, it is not suitable to exercise for too long, and the intensity should not be too high. Try to engage in gentle exercise and do sufficient warm-up before exercise. Too intense exercise will make the body sweat a lot, consume a lot of energy, and make you irritable and restless. Gentle exercise can keep your breathing slow and unhurried, allowing the extremely tiny blood vessels or meridians in the body to get enough nutrients.

You can listen to music and take a walk to maintain a calm mental state. This way, you will not be too excited and will not easily get angry or impatient. Moreover, when you are irritable or in a bad mood, taking a walk or listening to light music can effectively relieve negative emotions.

12. Eat light food to nourish the spirit: Eat more refreshing food in summer. Food that is too "turbid" can easily accelerate the fire in the heart, causing mental drowsiness and fatigue. Experts suggest that you should eat more foods with light smells in summer. Try to avoid frying, grilling, etc. of food, and eat less sweets and high-calorie foods.

Nutrition experts suggest that you can eat some bitter foods in summer, because bitterness can not only stimulate people's taste nerves and increase appetite, but also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, which is very beneficial to human health. Such as bitter gourd among vegetables, almonds and citrus fruits among fruits, and buckwheat among grains. In addition, bitter drinks such as green tea and kuding tea are also good choices.

13. Eat less cold food and drink more water: Various ice products and beverages are the most popular in summer. Many people believe that eating cold food can cool down in hot weather, but they ignore that the body temperature is higher at this time. Suddenly drinking cold drinks can easily cause chest tightness and chest pain. Cold drinks can cause the heart and lungs to contract rapidly, affecting the ventilation function and leading to insufficient oxygen in the body, which can easily lead to distraction and depression. To cool down and calm your nerves, you may want to drink some chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, and mung bean soup.
