BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANGER
Anger is one of the normal human emotions. Every human is prone to anger, whether it be a child or an adult. Dealing with anger in a positive way is responsibility.
When we forget this responsibility, anger takes its toll on our health and messes up our relationships.
It is important to take charge of ourselves and grow up into responsible humans for the sake of our own well being and the well being of humanity and the Planet.
First and foremost the important thing is to acknowledge that anger is a normal emotion and you are not an exception. You cannot avoid anger or bottle it up. Since anger creates stress for body and mind, consciously choose to help yourself to channel your anger in a positive way.
When anger strikes be considerate of the person in front of you. Do not pour your 'anger trash' on anyone. Learn to be responsible. Try workable actions like immediately getting out of the space where the anger started, go into the bathroom or any room where you can be alone and scream out your anger, take a pillow and hit the pillow as many times till the anger is released.
Choose to do practices like breathing, simple exercises, few moments of quiet time, listening to music, or meditation, regularly. These practices would keep you in full awareness of your emotion and make you think clearly.
Remember emotions are not stable, they do not stay, they come as waves and flow away. The anger emotion may stay with you for a few minutes, then your mind will go into the next thing, the anger dissolves and some other emotion arises. So in those few minutes of anger, just be with yourself, be the watcher, be very aware; the anger dissolves and clarity of mind appears. From the clarity choose to focus on resolving the issue by identifying possible solutions. When the mind is clear solutions do appear.
Let us choose to be responsible humans, let us learn to accept and channel our emotions in a positive way.
Blessings!
