Seven Incredible Lifesaving Tips to
Manage Your Anger
by: Zaak OConan
Experiencing anger is extremely dangerous to your health. It causes your
adrenaline and blood pressure to rise up at above normal levels. Moreover,
you could end up hurting someone or doing something that you will regret
later on.
Here are 7 fantastic tips to help you be the one in control of yourself, and
not the hazardous madman called "Anger."
1) Relax and visualize.
Calm yourself down. Take a deep breath. As you exhale, imagine all those
bottled-up fury come out of your nose and mouth. Release it and be free.
Repeat this step over and over until you feel peace inside.
Then visualize being in a place where you feel most happy, calm, and
relaxed. It may be a place like a beach, garden, scenic locations, or
anywhere else you might think of. Just imagine being there and inhaling the
essence of your serene environment. By doing this, you will not find it hard
to attain inner peace.
2) Pour out your anger to safe outlets.
You had a big quarrel with your former friend. He betrayed your trust. You
want vengeance and you're raving mad.
Hold it. Restrain yourself.
Try your best to get away from him as far as you can. You don't want to hurt
anyone. Anger can possess your brain into doing something that you wouldn't
dare do before.
How do you then release your anger if you can't restrict it anymore?
Buy a punching bag, then pour out all your rage in it. Punch it, kick it,
strangle it. Imagine the punching bag is your enemy. When you're done, you
will feel a sense of satisfaction. You may even punch and kick through thin
air if you desire.
Another way to release it is "SHOUT!" Find a distant place where you can be
alone - a place where no one can hear you. At the top of your voice, yell
out loud "Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh." You can choose any word you like
as long as you release all those angry demons out of your chest.
3) Forgive and forget.
Nothing could ease your mental and emotional pains better than by forgiving
someone that has hurt you in the past. It is very unhealthy to burden
yourself with unnecessary torture brought about by unpleasant memories of
other people's demeaning acts.
Moreover, if they have taken something important away from you, would it
make sense to also sacrifice your health and lifestyle? Of course not.
4) Exercise.
Engaging in exercises increases your endorphins. Your angry mood could
miraculously change to a happy one if you get involved in exercises that you
enjoy doing.
5) Have a circle of "sponge" friends.
Do you feel relieved when you voice out all your problems to close friends
and relatives? That's the power of voicing out your inner feelings.
Always have someone to talk to when you're down, when you're depressed, when
you're mad, or in any other occasion when you feel you have to get the
thorns out of your chest.
6) Listen to soothing music.
It calms your soul. A 20 minute session of listening to relaxing music while
resting comfortably could soothe the upset spirit. Take deep breaths often.
7) Pray.
Deadly consequences arise when people could not hold back their fury. Ask
for guidance that you will be able to control your temper. Prayers bring
inner peace to those who ask for it.
There you have it - 7 essential rules to release yourself from the
treacherous killer known as "Anger." Manage your anger, save your life.
