The Three Alternatives Rule

The three alternatives rule is simple. It explains how to handle a problem using one of these three rules which include changing your attitude, changing your environment, or confronting a person about his or her behavior.
Each one of these rules works well but should be applied to the situation that is best suited for it .
Attitude
The first rule is to change your attitude. It is important to identify the culprit by asking yourself numerous questions associated with the problem, such as: who or what made me angry?
 Can I do anything to fix this issue with my attitude?
After these or similar questions have been answered, take care of the items or a problem you can manage yourself . 
 
It is also helpful to be proactive in your search for better surroundings and people. Talk to the leadership and meet new colleagues that may be more of a positive influence on you.
Changing your attitude can turn an issue or problem that was at first perceived unacceptable to acceptable .
