Take Control Of Your Anger

Otherwise, it costs too much

Anger is the one of most powerful emotions we have. Its power can move mountains. And yet such a total of different hormones is too much for our rational brain to handle. When we are angry… we can say too much or even do too much. Which can lead to the biggest regrets in life.

We all are humans we all can become angry. Because let’s be real that is our biology just another way to meet stress. Of course, the big problem is that our species is more than 200,000 years old… and our modern society has existed only for decades. Original mechanisms such as anger are not made for today. So we need little upgrade our anger a little bit to make it handy! So little bit of tips for that!

1. Admit that you are angry — Only when we know that something is not all right. We can start to be responsible about it. Also clear sight and by that I mean (clear verbal communication) can suggest to other people that you give a little bit of time alone to calm down.
2. Take your time, no rush — Anger always pushes us to action. But most likely it is hot headed one. Just take some time. If it is not urgent then set another time for the thing. It is all right to give yourself time for a better tomorrow.
3. Take a breath, deep breaths — this tip is as old as the world but it helps a lot. Oxygen is given to the system. Slower and deeper breaths start the relaxation process in our bodies. It could be even more handy with a meditation. But the choice is always up to you!
4. Reach flow state — this is tricky… especially when we are angry. But the flow state takes our full focus. All brain power is to the action and we have no more capacity to be angry. No matter what it is to you playing a musical instrument or doing sports. It is an awesome way to regain a calm mind.
5. Sports… do them — The most perfect way to deal with stress. Our bodies don’t see the difference. We picked fights with the guy who steals our nerves or we hit some sets on the press. Worhout well done. Brain having a calm time.

Mastering different skills is extremely useful in life. But the hardest of them all is mastering own self. It is a true challenge that can take multiple tries. And remember even if we fail but learn something new from that or make our next step in progress. It is not a failure but growth! So let’s challenge ourselves to be a little bit better!

With Love and Care!
