You wake up in the morning only
to find that you’re late for work. You jump out of the bed and get ready like a
superperson and head out to work. Half way through you realize you forgot your
mobile phone at home. You go back home to collect it only to get stuck in
traffic. Wow – that’s a great start of the day! Naah… just kidding!
These are normal instances and
most of us go through this once in a while…. However, it sometimes gets really
out of hands and instead of keeping our cool, we lose it. The temper goes- BOOM!!!
And the next person in “the line
of fire”, as I say it, becomes the victim of your anger. You don’t think,
you don’t realise and you probably are least bothered about the person you fire
at. You also fail to realise that the person you’re venting your anger at, just
like you, can react aggressively.
Anger can be dangerous. It can be
cutting. It can hurt. It’s like a burning match stick that has the power to
spread far across and ruin whatever becomes in its way. So how do you prevent
anger? The truth is, that you can’t get rid of it. It’s a very natural feeling
for anyone. However, the way you deal with anger is what’s important. It can be
either be productive, or destructive.
Perhaps, we all want to know how to
manage this utterly notorious emotion. It can’t be eradicated, but yes, you can
always learn to overcome it – in a good way- positively. Yeah yeah, keep
reading :P Check these tips that may help you retain your calm in a jiffy!
Relax and Imagine
Okay, it’s not as easy as it
sounds. We all know that! Listen to your favourite music, shut out the lights
in your room, lye down and close your eyes. Think – think about what caused the
anger so you can prevent a serious situation next time you get enraged. More
importantly, think about positive things
Utopia –It definitely helps – tried and tested! Make your imagination go
wild. Beautiful mountains, lush green lawns, crystal clear beaches…. Just pure
natural beauty… such thoughts are extremely soothing and can relax your brain.
Count Count Count
I just am not very good at math. I
am not good at numbers. Perhaps, most of us find it horrid. Right, aren’t I? :D
Well, even though it has followed us like a witch through entire school years
(yeah, just like the dementors follow Harry Potter), basic counting can work as
a magic wand to bid farewell to anger, or at least, make it less intense. Just
count from 1 to 10 – slowly, with every deep breath – and you’ll notice a
significant decrease in your anger level.
This happens because as you count, you deep down gauge the cause of anger.
So the next time you are about to burst out at someone, use this trick before
your utter a single word.
Drink lots of Water
Water is a natural healer. It’s
great for both the mind and body. It flushes away toxins, purifies your body.
It also pacifies your anger. It just has an over all calming effect on the
body. So when they say 8 to 12 glasses
of water every day are a must, they obviously say it for a reason – and the
reason is that its good for your health! Oh and for all those weight consciious
people, water makes you feel fuller and helps burn those unwanted calories. Do
I see a happy face? :D Say yes! :P
Just Let Go
Yeah, that’s easier said than
done for many of us! You must learn to get go of things. You don’t want to hold
on to grudges. What good are grudges? The only person that a grudge can bother
and irritate is yourself. If you think the person you are angry at- too bad
because you’ve got that wrong, buddy! So basically, let go of it. You’ll feel
better, lighter, and happier! J
All these tips can help pacify your anger, but you remember that you need to be patient too. It's difficult, but not impossible. I've got a few more anger management tips in line which I will share with you soon. For now, this much should suffice. I am sure you can't use all of them at once. Just keep trying. You can overcome your anger. You have power over you. You can control you. Do not let anyone or anything ruin your day.
stay happy always and keep smiling! :)
Have a good day,
much love!
P.S: If nothing works, go punch someone in the face. Naaaah! Just kidding! :D
