Taking Time Out
Take time out to relax and unwind from anger
It is important to know that anger is not an
enemy. Anger is not an emotion that needs to be repressed. First and foremost,
it is a valid feeling that needs to be acknowledged and accepted for what it
is.
Adults and children are both prone to bouts of
anger because it is a natural feeling that everyone has. What is necessary
though is the management of anger because when it gets out of control it has the
tendency to have negative effects on people as well as on one’s self.
The following are activities that could be done
in order to do away with persistent feelings of anger and replace them with more
productive outlets to express this emotion in a manner that is more appropriate
and less destructive.
Wash it all off
Everyone, be it kids or adults, would find the
effect of taking a warm bath soothing to the senses. This method is even good
for all females as well as males who have had a rough day at work and would want
to un-wind from a busy, hectic, not to mention, an angry day from co-workers,
bosses and the like.
All you have to do is lie down in water that is
a bit warm. It would also be a good idea to light a few candles, the kind that
are scented. Then watch as you slip slowly away to a relaxing world that is
away from all the hustle and bustle of a dreary and busy world.
Walk and walk and walk
Kids or adults could very easily do this to
help ward off any intense feelings of anger. The good thing about this method
is that it usually works. Try it on for size. As much as possible, fifteen to
twenty minutes a day of brisk walking would do the trick of dissolving and
releasing any edginess you feel or any anxiousness you may have.
Another good thing when one engages in walking
is the effect it brings to one’s physical health. Believe it or not, walking
helps improve circulation by releasing hormones called endorphins. These are
also called the “feel-good” hormones. Realize how walking – even in short
distances – could help you feel more refreshed and relaxed after.
Get a massage, and get a good one
Adults would benefit much from this activity as
their weary bodies seem more vulnerable to stresses and negativity. Contrary to
popular belief, this does not have to be expensive. Try to get the voluntary
services of your significant other. However, if this is unavailable, there are
always a slew of massage parlors around who would more than readily provide you
with a very good and soothing massage at your own liking.
Determine the cause
Anger is caused by a variety of reasons. The
best way to manage anger is by first determining what it is you are angry at.
Getting to know the triggers that set you off helps you either avoid those
triggers or manage your feelings towards those triggers in case your anger
starts to erupt.
Being aware of what sets you off is a
significant step toward making your feelings known to yourself thereby making it
easier to manage any abrupt changes in your emotions.
Going, going gone - Let it go
Anger is not necessarily helped by remembering
any past incidents that made you angry and may still have bitter feelings
towards. Though difficult, it is always for your own best interests to let go
of past sad and angry memories.
Unfortunately, this effort is easier said than
done as everyone carries a bunch of conditioned responses and go through life
using those to deal with every blow that comes their way. Usually, these
responses were those left off from childhood and onwards.
Believe it or not, having awareness of such
past conditioned behavior actually frees you from its clutches. By bringing
them to the fore of your attention, you then get to deal with them and
eventually use them to not be as impediments to your personal growth.
All in all, anger - when left to fester and rot
in one’s psyche – will cause more harm than good. It would do well for everyone
to deal with the causes of anger and work on those issues as well as having
efforts to deal with anger before, during and after it erupts.
