Question Title

* 1. Make a list of your top 7 pet-peeves. These are not minor irritations, but rather actions that evoke a visceral emotional response. Remember on the other side of every pet-peeve is a value. Therefore, pet-peeves are indeed VALUE CONFRONTATIONS. You may want to jot these down as you will need them in the items ahead.

After checking off the values after each Value Confrontation (pet-peeve), you will get a list of the values you chose.

* 9. Lastly, take a moment to define what each value means to you. For instance, if consideration was a core value, you may define it as taking into account the impact your actions have on other people, from holding the door to sharing information. This shows up as acknowledging the kindness of others, refraining from being intrusive to another's senses (sound and touch), and thinking of others before acting.

This will further assist you in knowing why you have value confrontations that cause pet peeves. Being able to name it and acknowledge the misalignment of values with other people and organizations will greatly reduce your stress level, and eventually your irritation.
