Everyone gets angry, it’s a natural human emotion.
However, you cannot get angry whenever you please and towards everyone and everything. People who do get angry in public are often viewed as immature and uncontrollable and most societies look down at people who show that they cannot control themselves. Anger is healthy but if it becomes uncontrollable it can become destructive.
Psychologists use the term anger management to teach people techniques in how to control this very strong emotion. So what are supposed to do when your blood boils, you see red and you are finding it harder and harder by the second to control your emotions?
Firstly, when you are on the verge of exploding most experts suggest you breathe deeply. As you breathe, and focus on your breathing, your body will feel more relaxed, less tense and therefore less likely to explode.
Secondly, many people would tell to count to 10, slowly. This allows you to distract your feelings of anger to concentrating on counting to 10. This small amount of time focusing on something else can give you enough time to think about your reaction to the situation.
For a more psychological approach to anger management there are some guidelines that could decrease anger levels.
If someone cause negative feelings inside you, instead of arguing maybe use laughter to calm the situation down. This shows that you are a creative person that knows how to handle a situation.
Being direct about any feelings at the time would allow you to express yourself in a calmer way, instead of keeping thoughts to yourself and then exploding.
Forging is also a useful tool to diminish anger. If you are able to forgive someone over a small issue than you do not to keep a grudge or you can start clean with that person.
The Asian way, would be to practice some yoga or meditation regularly so that your body is calm and your mind as well. Calmness will allow you to remain in control when some situations become difficult. This is preventive anger management.
Did you know: if you keep all your anger inside of you and never let it out it may cause you to have a depression.
