Gaining Control Over My Emotions

I have a crazy older brother, and I don't know how to control my emotions.

@CuteCornDog Sorry but isn't the answer obvious? You just said you have a crazy older brother.So Do you live your life out with this brother? or become financially independent and cut him off/ spend less time with him?  To the point where you are no longer being provoked?

I wonder which is the correct answer, hmm..... 

Also, develop a daily meditation habit. And, become mindful of the anger when it arises, a good video that helped me out a lot is the one below, now I rarely get angry. Since, I've put what Rupert said in to application.

@The Monk It's an interesting video, but what in hell type of anger is it that you can control?  If I get angry, I won't see it until I'm already in the thick of it.  At that point, I'm only back-peddling to get myself out of it.

Oftentimes, if I find someone trying to annoy me, my first question before I get angry is "What do they want?" and then "Where are they coming from?" If I can answer those two questions, I'll avoid a shit-fit.

However, some things are just born out of frustration, like being stuck for days in flooded areas during Hurricane Harvey & having to wonder if we'll run out of food.  It's easy to get mad and start yelling at the four walls for better days!
