Remember Why You Do Things

Whenever you're about to do something, always remember why you're really doing it. So, for example, when you travel on vacation, you're doing so in order to enjoy the pleasures of travel. Remind yourself that annoying things happen when you travel -- airplane delays, lost luggage, overpriced food, drunk people behaving badly, etc. Instead of allowing yourself to get mad or irritated at these expected events, remind yourself when such things happen that your purpose was not to avoid the annoyances of travel but instead to enjoy its pleasures.
