How can the Hadith: "Knowledge is acquired through learning, and forbearance through striving for it" be applied to overcome rapid stress and excessive emotional reactions in various life situations?

Forbearance is one of the greatest virtues of faith. Among the means that assist in acquiring it are: avoiding the causes of anger, remaining silent when angry, seeking refuge in Allah from Satan, changing one's posture, striving against the self to acquire forbearance, contemplating Allah's forbearance towards His servants, accustoming oneself to patience and forgiveness, reflecting on the good reward, frequently remembering Allah, and resorting to lightheartedness when angry.
