It’s often not the big things that make you angry. It’s the small stuff that hijacks your day. In this thoughtful episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs explores why seemingly minor annoyances can trigger such big reactions, and how learning to let go of them can radically improve your relationships, your mood and your life. Key Takeaways: - Small events like a comment or forgotten chore often trigger anger because of deeper emotional patterns. -Reacting in the heat of the moment usually leads to regret. Pausing first gives you power. -Asking, “Will this matter in a week or a year?” helps you gain perspective and avoid overreacting. -Practicing gratitude can rewire your brain to focus on what really matters, not petty irritations. -Recognising life’s fragility can shift your focus from frustration to compassion and connection.
