The "Three Alternatives Rule" states that when someone's behavior or a situation causes you a problem, there are basically three things you can do about it. You can:
1 . Change your attitude. Psychologically move the behavior from the unacceptable area of your window into the acceptable area so it no longer is a problem and you can just ignore it.
2 . Change your environment. Make changes to your physical environment or remove yourself from it.
3 . Confront the person about their behavior. Make the other person aware that you have a problem with their behavior. Attempt to persuade the other person that they need to change their behavior, and then lend support and help if needed.
