Anger Management

Anger Management
Anger management deals with the management of one’s anger so that the least possible damage is felt to self, others and the environment

One who can manage his own anger effectively can possibly manage the anger of others as well.

Three Stage Anger Management
1. Managing anger before it even shows in
2. Managing anger when you are angry
3. Managing anger after your anger
What To Do When You Are Angry?
This is the most difficult stage to manage because you are the person who is angry and you are the person who is to manage yourself.
Try one or more of the following:

• As soon as you are in control withdraw yourself from the situation to avoid irrepairable or irreversible damage to self, others, relationships, and the environment.
• When you recognize that you are angry, just stop doing what you have been doing. Walk around or sit calmly for a few minutes.
• Release the stress (stored due to anger) in a way in which there is least possible harm to self, others, and the environment.
• Breath deeply. Inhale deeply and hold for a second or two. Then exhale deeply. Repeat a few times.
• Become aware that you are angry. Just observe yourself.
• If possible involve in some creative work that can pacify you.
• If possible, divert your attention to something else that can relax you; like humorous films, calming music, watering your garden, going to beach or park or the like.
• Postpone the expression of anger again and again.
• Get into the company of persons you love or who love you and understand you. Speak out to them, if possible.
• If you have love for children, their presence can pacify you.
  Even pets can sometimes pacify you.
• Laugh it out, if you can, by perceiving it in a humorous way.
• Perceive it creatively and constructively and take it as an opportunity to know yourself, your anger patterns and the situation or other people involved.
• As far as possible do not swear to yourself or shout like: ‘ I will teach you/him/her a lesson. I will show you/him/her’ etc. This will act as a program and will be stored as negative energy.
