Why do I get so mad when something doesn t go as planned?
Your anger may stem from the thought that life or the fates are conspiring to ruin your day when that first little thing goes wrong. Perhaps, instead, your sadness comes from the belief that something important is now lost or gone. Your guilt may arise when you blame yourself for being so lazy or inefficient.
How do I stop getting angry when things don’t go my way?

Why do I freak out for no reason?
A freak-out incident typically erupts in a nano-second, and without any warning because the unconscious mind has identified something that makes a person feel anxious and unsafe.
What do you do when things don’t go to plan?
When things don’t go to plan, there’s a chance someone or something messed up. If you have the ability to correct the issue, fix it so the same thing doesn’t happen again. If you don’t have the ability to correct what went wrong, hold people accountable.
What is a freak-out trigger?
A freak-out trigger suddenly causes different parts of a person’s body and brain to release a series of images, feelings, sensory messages that literally flood the brain stem, and cause the autonomic nervous system to go into shock, trauma or stress reactions. These unconscious reactions cause people’s awareness to leave present time.
What are some things that are out of our control?
Some things are simply out of our control. For example, if you made plans to travel for the weekend, and a storm hits, things may not go as planned. There are forces outside of yourself that influence and shape outcomes. Avoid dwelling on things that you can’t change, and focus on what you can.
