According to American Psychological Association, Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.
Anger is one feeling that has only very bad
consequences and if controlled in the right
time, can avoid great losses.
Lord Emerson says beautifully, “for every
minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of
happiness”. If you do not restrain anger, it
causes more hurt to you than with whom you are
angry. It is, in a raw sense, a short lived madness.
Anger has the tendency to cloud our thoughts
and prevent us from thinking rationally. It is very simple to
control anger; just postpone it.
Mohandas Gandhi said, anger and intolerance
are the enemies of correct understanding.
Try Out These Relaxation Tools
- Breathe deeply, from your diaphragm. Breathing from your chest won't relax you, so picture your breath coming up from your "gut.
- Slowly repeat a calming word or phrase, such as "relax" or "take it easy." Keep repeating it to yourself while breathing deeply.
- Use imagery. Visualize a relaxing experience from your memory or your imagination.
- Try non-strenuous, slow exercises. Yoga and similar activities can relax your muscles and calm you down.
Practice these techniques daily. Eventually, you'll be able to use them automatically when you're in a tense situation.
