Ever since I first heard the term \\u2018Pet Peeve\\u2019, I was baffled at the fact that we would love something that bothers us so much that we\\u2019d call it a \\u2018pet\\u2019.

\\n

But at the same time, I had so many of these Pet Peeves that I just figured it was normal on some level.

\\n

And for many years, I struggled with the things that \\u2018Always annoyed me\\u2019 and stress became a huge presence and hindrance in my life, affecting every aspect of my life and preventing my happiness in many ways.

\\n

It was only when I came to understand that the source of my stress was the thoughts produced by these pet peeves that I came to learn about the nature of my brain to strive for two things:

\\n

Automation and the familiar.

\\n

Through some very simple practices, I have reframed the automatic nature of my brain and developed the skill to bring this activity into my conscious awareness.

\\n

And now, not only do I have no more pet peeves, I actually have almost nothing that annoys me or takes away my happiness.

\\n

Would you like to learn how to do this for yourself?
