• April 28, 2024

Have you felt that your feelings and thoughts get out of control after a problem or difficulty? The lack of tolerance can lead you to make decisions or see reality in a distorted way, a situation that usually triggers pain, frustration or anger; But how can you avoid it?

According to the specialist Edgar Rodríguez, President of the Peruvian Institute of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (IPSICOC) , tolerance is the ability of people to manage, cope and manage, as far as possible, the different events of their daily lives.

To keep your feelings and thoughts under control, GetQoralHealth gives you 5 tips to achieve tolerance.

1. Do not judge yourself. Isha Judd, Expert in spiritualism, points out that the judgments and criticisms that you have with others always start from inside the person: they do not accept others as they are because they are not accepted as well.

2. Breathe and count to 10 while listening. If you see that what you are hearing from another person has a point of view different from yours and you feel annoyance for what that person is saying, breathe deeply and count to 10.

3. I am me and you are you. Once you are breathing be aware that everyone has the right to think and express what they want (in the same way as you) and that despite not agreeing understand their point of view.

4. Release the opinions of others. Actually very few of the convictions we have come from direct experience, most are adopted from the family and society in general. What is right in one part of the world can be considered bad in another.

What one generation rejects, another can integrate. Having several wives in some cultures is illegal, while in others it is a symbol of wealth. Judd suggests that the fact that an opinion is generalized does not mean that it is valid, each time it welcomes a world of possibilities.

The feelings and thoughts are part of everyday life, but also respect. This is essential for any relationship be it friendship, work, family or couple. Do not forget, tolerance part of you!
