Anger is a burning coal
Destroying the one holding it
Choose to be less worked up
And let go of the little things.
Life makes things better
Anger is a powerful emotion
That is unpredictable by nature
Expression is the first step
To channelize anger issues
Secondly choosing to shift attention
To focus on something positive
Helps to channelize the anger within
This helps in converting anger
To constructive behavior.
Thirdly conscious deep breathing
Ensuring a sense of calm
Adapting to change is another way
By doing a bit of rethinking
To find a new sense of perspective
Helps to see the reasoning well.
Anger may stem from deep resentment, held unexpressed for a very long time. Often it may surface in memory associations quite unexpectedly. Or it may be come from bitterness or unfairness meted out.
When angry, it is difficult to breathe, forget think. As all the pent up frustrations get mixed up with emotions and feelings causing an outburst.
Management of anger is difficult as you do not know when you are going to get angry next.
But tapping into mindful awareness, of the signs of anger and dispassionately working towards steps that channelize the feeling of anger in practical ways to release the pent up frustrations begins to help manage anger gradually.
There are many therapies for anger management but it’s important to find one that is suitable to you.
When was the last time you got angry?
How did you express it?
Did you feel bad after the episode of anger?
Do you remember the emotions that you went through when you were angry?
More importantly did you do anything about your anger?
Who doesn’t get angry I wonder. As anger is necessary evil as it is meant to be a vent for any built up steam.
Management of anger starts with acknowledgement and awareness of the issue at hand.
Personally walking, dancing painting writing and solitude top my ways of channelizing anger. I find myself calmer and relaxed and in a happier state post a dance session or after writing or creating an artwork.
I also like to do work that requires organisation like folding clothes arranging things to get me back to equilibrium.
How do you channelize your anger?
