Hello, this is Frank.\"Blow<\/img><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s topic: blowing your top \u2014 those moments when we just snap.<\/p>\n

It turns out that these sudden bursts of rage may be linked to a temporary malfunction in the brain. There’s a part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex<\/strong> that helps control our impulses, and it relies on a chemical called serotonin<\/strong>. But when you’re under stress or exhausted, serotonin levels drop, and impulse control weakens.<\/p>\n

Lack of exercise, irregular sleep patterns, and overexposure to screens also lower serotonin. Welcome to the hidden trap of digital life.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve grown older, I rarely blow up anymore. Still, if I\u2019m sleep-deprived and witness someone behaving irrationally, I do feel that inner spark of irritation.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the best antidote is a regular, balanced lifestyle. My late father was a man of strict routines. Looking back, I wonder if his daily discipline was less about structure and more about choosing calm \u2014 about not taking frustrations out on others and keeping the day peaceful.<\/p>\n

Writers may seem like the least likely people to live on a schedule, but maybe a steady routine is exactly what we need to write something truly great.<\/p>\n

By the way, I\u2019ve started reading this controversial book, How to Write Bestselling Fiction<\/em>. It\u2019s received mixed reviews. But whatever you think of it, please don\u2019t blow your top after reading it! (Just kidding.)<\/p>\n\n\n
