Anger Before It Controls Your Life
Anger is an amotion that is 100% perfectly normal. When it's under control it is healthy. Human beings rarely act physically expressing the anger. We have language hence we use verbal abusing and then only physical rage is followed if anger is not controlled. It can lead problems with family members and work place.
The emotion of anger is accompanied by biological and physiological changes. When you are angry you see an increase in your blood presure and your heart rate also goes up. In addition your adrenaline, noradrenaline and energy levels all increase.
So why does a person get angry? Well it could be as a result of worrying about a personal issue or towards a specific person for something that he or she said or did or a specific event. Bad memories and events can trigger feelings of anger.Anger is naturally expressed aggressively. So there are fights and hence we defend us if we are attacked. It is not credible or conceivable to place anybody under attack that irratates or upsets us. Normalities of social behavior should be adhered.
Three main approaches to anger are suppressing, expressing and calming. When you express your feelings in controlled manner it assertive manner and it is healthiest way. It is difficult to do this. Identifying your needs and how to get without hurting others will need to be known. It means being respectful to yourself and others.
When anger is suppressed, it is not allowed outward expression and it can turn inward on you. It may cause hypertension, high blood pressure or depression. If anger is not expressed it can create other problems. It creates either passive or aggressive behavior which fails to build successful relations with others.
Finally if you can calm down inside your responses internally heart rate, blood pressure and outward behavior will be controlled. Should these techniques be unsuccessful ultimately something or somebody will be hurt. Anger can be controlled by simple techniques. Relaxation tools such as deep breathing can help calm down angry feelings. Breathing deeply and repeating soothing words like "take it easy" will enables you to reduce angry feeling. Practice this technique daily. Slow yoga and meditation is another way to relax.
The other way is to change the way you think. People exhibit anger by using colorful terms or by swaering or by cursing. When we are angry our thinking is exaggerated and extra dramatic. If we replace it with more rational thoughts it will help us. You have to remind yourself that getting angry is not going to solve anything.
Ultimately you don't feel better but worse. We try to find out solution of our problems but sometimes that is not possible. Therefore we get all angry. Instead of that we have to learn to face the problem. When we are angry we come to conclusions which are often wrong. We should take the opportunity to slow down our thoughts and consider what we want to say prior to saying it, this will provide a solution to some problems.
