Solution
If I am getting impatient and short-tempered due to a crisis in my life, I will open up and discuss the problem with my family members and close friends. I will also try to sort my thoughts and meditate or perform Yoga to seek the peace of mind. If everything fails and I still cannot control my anger, I will consult a counselor to help me get out of this situation.
