Keepin' it Zen
« on: June 20, 2010, 04:39:07 PM »
You know those days when you just wanna keep it zen?
Like, you don't wanna start trouble, when you just wanna relax and have a good time?

AND PEOPLE HAFTA SCREW IT UP! (Anger)
But you count to 10, calm down, and continue to... Keep it zen.
Because attitudes are contagious, and you don't wanna get snippy at someone that doesn't deserve it.

How do you calm down after you get angry at people?
Sometimes its no big deal, but when people get mad at you for no good reason makes it even worse.

I keep it very zen all the time.  Unless people really get on my last nerve.  After getting angry, unless I'm faced with extreme stupidity (which annoys me to no end alone) I won't get angry at anyone else.

But yes, I know what you're talking about.

I usually have to spend some time away from them (and usually away from others too). Distractions are great, if you don't think about what just happened then you don't find yourself continuing to get angrier. It's all about thinking that "yeah something happened but things move on and...oh look! Video games!" or something along those lines.
I agree that when you're feeling pretty peaceful and whatnot that it's one of the worst times to have people mess with that.
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.

I listen to music and draw. Generally the best way to vent my feelings.

The person who gets me angry usually will just run away when he sees me pick up something large and heavy and toss at him  :P

the worst thing about getting mad at someone who doesnt deserve it is because when you strt arguin you have no point and look like a douche xD

and i like to listen to music and sit somewhere
outside, on the ground or in a tree, preferably in the afternoon sun x3
sometimes i like to be angry or sad, it just feels good to get it out of the way.
i prefer to be alone when angry or upset :P

It depends how angry I am, sometimes I just find somewhere quiet to calm down. Others, I'll cry it out. It's kinda hard.

I love it when I'm completely chilled out though, where there isn't a trouble in the world that's niggling in my mind. o_o I rarely get that like, but yeeeah. :3

I know, right?
But I have to be in the mood to draw, and I can't find a good place to go and sit down outside. (I hate it so much! DX)

I usally try to stay away from whoever makes me angry, but they always wanna act like nothing happened a few minuetes later. I mean, I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU! D<

Most of the time gossiping about them helps me calm down though. :P

Bleh, I hate gossip.  I try to maintain the "if there's nothing good to say, don't say it at all..." but sometimes I slip out for no reason, or if I'm really ticked off.

I only gossip about the person if I'm peeved at them, so normally everyone is safe.
BUT my vast information network brings up much dirt on many a person... >D
