The Best Ways To Deal With Anger

Anger is an emotion that you feel when something irritates you.
It can be just a small annoyance or full blown out rage. Your
perception of anger was learned, in the form of beliefs and
values that were instilled in you. Usually, in the early stages
of your emotional development. When any of your beliefs or
values are questioned or transgressed, you may feel anger. The
degree of intensity depends on your state of mind at the
particular time of the incident.
Your feelings of anger are either expressed, as in the form of
arguing or physically lashing out, or suppressed. Suppressed
anger causes negative emotions to dominate, which can lead to
depression. It can also express itself as a physical ailment
such as high blood pressure.
Expressing anger is said to be your better alternative.
Although it may bring you some relief, it also has its downside.
It may compound the problem and it can also affect you
physically. One of the physical side effects is that it lowers
your immune system. What would be one of the best ways to deal
with anger?
Release. The first thing you need to do is to recognize and
admit that you are angry. Never pretend you are not angry when
you know you are. It is widely accepted that people who always
want to be in control seem to suffer mostly from outbursts of
anger. When you are angry, you will notice that you stop
breathing periodically. You may tend to hold your breath, so
keep breathing with intervals of deep breathing. Then, recognize
the problem for what it is, and not for what you think it is.
After all, you are dealing with somebody else’s beliefs and
value system. Just tell yourself, they also have a right to
express their opinions.
When you do get angry, much of the blood in your brain flows to
the back of your head. It goes to the primitive part of the
brain were it automatically prepares you for fight or flight.
The frontal lobes of the brain (in the forehead are) are
associated with thought, pleasure, creativeness, and calmness.
Simply put two fingers on one side of your forehead and your
thumb on the other side, and just gently hold them there while
breathing without any pauses. The blood will flow back to your
frontal lobes, bringing about some calmness. When you feel
relaxed and the issue or issues don’t not bother you anymore,
release your finger and thumb from your forehead. And of course
you can also apply this technique to someone else, and it is
especially effective with infants.
