Free yourself from anger

Free yourself from anger 

To change anger-generating habits easily, stop spending time with toxic people those who moan, complain and whine, say Brahma Kumaris


Use the following techniques to help yourself become free of self-generated anger: 

Future focus 


Holding on to the past is a primary cause of anger. Become aware of your conversations; notice how more than 80% of the content is focused on the past. Drop the past. Gently shift your focus to the future in everything you think and say. Not a future filled with desires and expectations, but one in which you envisage everything is going well. 

Withdraw when Appropriate 


In any interaction, choose to remain peaceful yet aware, detached yet available, disengaged yet proactively involved. This will make you master of your responses. 

Self-Counselling 


Stop hurting yourself, for that is what you do when you get upset or angry about anything. Imagine counselling someone who is determined to harm themselves. What would you say Similarly, talk and counsel yourself out of the habit of emotional self-harm . 

Positive Focus 


Consciously find an area of life where you can focus your time and energy in positive ways like meditation, sports, etc. Thereby, you stop watering the tree that sustains anger and resentment-generating habits. 

Detox 


To change anger-generating habits easily, stop spending time with toxic people those who moan, complain and whine. 

Exercise for Anger Management 


Allow the body to relax. Your thoughts may wander thoughts from the past concerns about the future. Focus on the spaces between, before, after or beyond thoughts find the stillness and peace there 
Say this to yourself silently: I notice many thoughts and feelings arising in my mind. I turn these thoughts away from the outside world and focus on thoughts of peace. Gradually my thoughts begin to slow down and I sense peace within me simply creating the thought : I am a peaceful being . 
As I create this simple thought, the feeling arises and I am drawn towards that feeling of peace. I remain absorbed in this experience of peace for as long as I can
