Anger Management- Your Way to Perfect Peace

With a loud noise, the glass came crashing down on the floor, spreading shreds of glass everywhere in the living room. She stomped off in her bedroom after that, and sat angrily, stomping her feet on the floor, wanting to punch someone. She wanted to break something, everything. But as she proceeded towards her belongings, she saw her favorite lipstick that her sister had gifted her. She couldn’t throw it.

Then she saw the photo frame of her family and her heart melted a little. Gradually, all her belongings took her back the memory lane and in an hour she was completely calm and had forgotten what had made her angry in the first place. She stepped out to make some coffee and as soon as she stepped out, she fell writhing in pain. She tried to look at her feet and saw a glass splinter with blood oozing around it. 

That’s what our anger does; it leaves around splinters of shredded glass that hurt us in the future if we don’t manage our anger well. By management, we don’t mean suppress your anger, no. Suppressing it would only lead to physical and mental health challenges. In this article, we discuss how to successfully manage your anger. 

Deep Breaths – Take a deep breath, hold the breath, and exhale the air slowly. This would calm you and make you feel relaxed both mentally and physically.

Time-Out – Take some time out for yourself. Go to a bathroom or a basement. Express your anger by screaming your head off or punching a pillow. Come back, examine the problem, and resolve it.

Help- Seek anger management counselling from your doctor or community.

Uproot -Remove the cause of your anger and if possible avoid it as much as possible.

De-Stress- Incorporate some stress relief techniques in your life as anger is mostly triggered by stress.

Anger is a very strong emotion, which is not easy to overcome. For effective anger management, commitment along with tremendous inner strength is required.
