Anger issues? Here’s how you can cope!
Created by Richa Pandey Updated on Mar 10, 2020
Some time ago, I realised that I was constantly angry with myself, at my daughter and everyone else around me, and I used to get irritated and frustrated at the small provocation. I was doing everything I was supposed to, but was working like automation —but I realised that it was time I did something about it.
And what I did was make some simple changes to the way I think, along with some meditating techniques, and now manage my anger and live in peace. Here’s what to do:
1. Stay in the moment: Whatever you’re doing – eating, cooking, playing with your child—just be in that moment. For that minute forget about laundry, dishes or anything else your mind wanders on to.
2. Meditate: Meditation is the best way to fight inner restlessness and stress that aggravates into anger, irritation and frustration. So, take a deep breath and release it slowly. If you feel there’s a situation that’s beyond your control, move away and go on to the next step.
3. Let go: Sometimes it’s better to let go of certain things and relax. Your daughter spilled milk on the floor? Relax, take a step back and think – will your getting angry on the child rectify the situation? No—so then why scold the child?
4. Count to 10: Instead of lashing out, if you feel terribly angry, simply count to 10, while taking long, deep breaths between each number. It’s an effective, proven technique of calming people down.
