Short fuse: Remember that life is way too short to be pissed about every little thing and being pissed off doesn’t solve a single thing. More than likely it does more damage to yourself than the person it is directed too.
High Expectations: Will always lead to disappointment and frustration. Especially when directed to others. Learn to embrace peoples differences and value that some of their ideas may be gems in disguise. Even a fool can come up with a valuable idea from time to time.
Now if the expectations are from yourself, then you will be in constant frustration mode. You can not lie to yourself and no one is perfect. So do your best and hope it works out. Most people with high expectations of themselves feel they must surpass what others think of them. Don’t be what you are not. Be who you are.
Lustful: Not sure if you mean sexually or lustful for everything around you. If it is sexually and you want to stop sleeping around then nothing works better than going on the web and researching lots of pictures of venereal diseases. Keep those pictures in your mind the next time you are attracted to someone. Remember the prettier they are the more likely that they may have had tons of sexual encounters and may be a carrier. Rubbers are not 100%. If its with a partner than no worries. Time will temper the lust.
Now if it is for food or things that you lust, then remember that too much of anything takes you away from living your life. When you want to go shopping and purchase tons of food, remember that most will end up in the trash. When you buy tons of expensive furniture, remember by buying only what you need you will have money to go out and enjoy things. Go out to shows, dinner, vacations. Hard to do all this things if your health starts to suffer from overeating or you have to work too many hours to even enjoy your expensive things.
Bottom line. To control the things you do not like, you must see them from a different perspective and don’t blame the behavior. It doesn’t make you do anything. You chose to do it.
It becomes a habit because you wanted it to be. Same way you wanted it at first is the same way you can make it disappear. For this to work it has to be a real desire on your part.
