How to change annoyance?

The first thing you want to do is just notice it and allow it. You’re not a bad person for being annoyed. It doesn’t mean you’re mentally weak.If you’re not feeling annoyed right now, think back on a time you’ve felt annoyed or things that annoy you frequently.Once you feel the emotion of annoyance, ask yourself what thought is causing it?Don’t resist the emotion. Feel it. Accept it. Analyze it. When you resist is when you lash out.Don’t attribute the emotion to the circumstance. Your emotions are caused by your thoughts. Once you let the emotion pass, take care of the situation or just let it go.
