I have truly wild hormones. It’s particularly wild when it’s almost time of the month. It comes out of the blue. It strikes without notice. I sometimes get myself in a fury of anger..and I realise.. hormones. I’ve been trying to find ways to controlling my anger. If only it was as easy as popping in Lipovox, as if it’s part of your diet.
But a couple of methods have been working for me, one is to literally take a step back, the moment I feel the heat in me. The other, is distract myself quickly. I tell myself, I can get angry, but I need to understand that acting angry will not benefit anyone. Especially my kids, who is already emulating my behaviour. My No.2 by far, is the closest to how I behave..and I have to be really careful. Whenever he gets angry, he blows into a huge tantrum. For him, I tell him to put all his anger into a red red red balloon and see it float away. As it floats away, he shouldn’t be so angry anymore. Red is his favourite colour, so I thought it may be what he want. Instead, he tells me, he doesn’t want a red balloon, he wants it green. Which happens to be his eldest brother’s fav. colour. Hmm…
Anyway, anytime my hormones try to get better of me… I have to remind myself that my little mirror is just there.
