Anger is one of the most dangerous emotions, which a human can experience. It is because we lose control of our inner self and do things which we regret later on. It breaks friendship,sours relationship and brings about everything bad in any way imaginable.
Well the good news is that, it is a human emotion and can be controlled and regulated with the use of will power,practice and application of proper techniques.
Here I have suggested some techniques to deal with it.
Isolate yourself : Whenever you feel angry or feel that irritating impulse just separate yourself from your family members and others. Just create some distance. The best thing you can do is to lock yourself in a room for a while and let the steam flow out. You can also punch the pillows if you want, just let it out. It is because you don't want to say things which hurt them and for which you regret later on.
Sweat your anger out: It is a very helpful technique and works very well. Each time you feel the anger coming heavy on you , do some physical exercise such as kickboxing,pushups,burpees,squats, jumping jacks etc. Keep on doing it until you feel too tired to feel angry. Use your anger to your advantage.
Deep Breathing : Whenever you feel angry and distressed practice deep breathing exercises. Just inhale deeply, hold your breath for a while ( count upto 10 if you can) and exhale. It really works. Chant some holy verse if you can or visualise a beautiful memory or image or a holy symbol while you do so. I visualise OM symbol.
Eat or drink something : This is also a very good technique. If you feel angry eat something, preferably something sweet or drink a glass of fruit juice or water. An empty stomach can sometimes act as a catalyst in aggravating the emotional outburst. So fill it in.
Listen to hard rock songs : Sometimes listening to hard rock songs for a while helps in releasing anger.
Remember past experiences of your anger: Another technique which you can use is to recount the past experiences of your anger. Try to recollect: What things you said in your anger ? , How much hurt you caused your family members and others ? and How much guilty you felt afterwards ? Ask yourself : Do I want to feel like that again ? Is it worth it ?
