I Never Get Worked Up. . . Except at Lousy Drivers. How Can I Defuse Myself ?
![The Exchange](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/2558/247383/59f0695a00aee/The-Exchange.jpg)
It’s not uncommon, even for a chilled guy like you, to get a little peeved when Oupa in front of you won’t step on the petrol, or some slow asshat hogs the right lane. Hey, maybe you’re frazzled, running late, or sleep-deprived. Sometimes anger passes quickly and other times it lingers, says Melissa Horowitz of the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy. But there’s a crucial dis tinction: “If you act on it with the intent of causing physical or psychological harm, this can be categorised as aggressive driving behaviour,” she says. You could face fines or a date in court, or even worse: an accident that gets someone hurt. To calm that about-to-blow fury, Horowitz says, try this: inhale and count to three; then exhale and do the same. Or tense a specific muscle or muscle group (like your shoulders or fist) to a count of three, and then release.
AM I NORMAL?
I like watching pimple-popping videos.
