Today i threw a big fit at Mother.

I regretted the outburst the next second.

I felt really bad especially when Mother went quiet immediately before saying,

"You should learn to control your emotions".

I can be as passionate and enthusiastic as a monkey, or go as quiet as a mute the next second,

or even mad as a raging hornet the other.

Yes, i can be quite an extremist- aren't something good at all.

Well, it's undeniably a very "LEO" trait in a Leo like me,

being easily raged and highly passionate at other times.

Three words; Unstable and Unpredictable.,,,

-creatures we are.

For pals like me out there..

some Anger Management Tips which can be quite helpful most of the time (though not all the times..) :

1. Walk away from source of anger to prevent from over-whelming ypur emotions. Placing distance can avoid unnecessary confrontations and allow one to recompose him or herself before reacting.
2. Avoid eye contact with person, otherwise it will signify confrontation again. This can be done through immediate glancing away to the floor or another stranger. It'll help by reminding yourself there's no need to create a "public-show" by flaring up, attracting unwanted attentions.
3. Easy. Take a long and deep breath loudly. It'll calm you down and serves as a "warning" to the other person. This act can be used as a signal to the other party that you are not about to pick a fight but if he or she doesn't stop, there may be some undesirable consequences.
4. Do something to cheer yourself up to turn your mood round after a fight or argument. E.g through whistling your favourite tune of the tunes of some cartoon theme songs etc. This helps dissipates some of the anger felt so not only you'll look "cool and composed" unlike the other, it'll piss the other party off to immediate silence.

I will do my best in doing what i preached; nah..

I'll do more than my best.

For it is very important to keep emotions at bay to avoid unwanted consequences which may result in irreplaceable losses..

Most of the time, all of us with humanity and conscience would feel deeply regrettful after flaring up at out Moms or Dads, and even at our brothers, sisters and even friends too

So let's together prevent such things from happening...
