Have you ever met large changes in life or work? How would you feel? In fact, we all have to go through the grief cycle(悲伤循环) which has the following periods:
The first period: "It can't be happening."
Anger: "Why me? It's not fair."
Depression: "I'm so sad. Why do I have to do all of these?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK."
I'm honestly not sure how scientific this model is but I certainly believe that you will work better after going through these changes.
Find out what your anger does for you—good or bad. Think back to the situation where you have been angry at work and ask yourself how it influences you, including your relationship with co-workers, the quality of your work and health, your relationship with friends and family.
Find out what makes you angry and less angry. Which thoughts, situations, people or conversations make you less angry? I'm sure you are not angry all the time. What makes you calm and stops you from feeling angry? Find out, and then start doing less of what makes you angry and more of the things that cool you down.
Focus on gratitude. What are you grateful for? As I mentioned above, anger is part of the grief cycle which is connected with what you lose. Gratitude is the opposite of loss because it comes from the good things you have in your life. Every evening, sit down with a piece of paper and make two gratitude lists: three things I was grateful for at work today; three things I was thankful for in life today.
Change your focus from "What was done to me?" to "What can I do?". Life is 10% about what happens to you and 90% about how you deal with it. You must take responsibility for your own situation rather than be a victim(牺牲品)of it. That kind of advice can get pretty boring but that doesn't make it less true.
