Instant Anger Management.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
What is the best way to get rid of anger on the spot? After I’ve been angry I usually go back and ask myself why I was angry, why did that hurt me, etc., to release those reasons. But do you know of ways to prevent on-the-spot anger? (Yes, occasionally I have Pitta tendencies – could you tell?)
Response:
First of all, you need to recognize the anger response in yourself before you express it in words or behavior to others. Here’s a that you can use over and over again to override that anger-instinctive-reaction. It’s easy to remember and uses the acronym, S.T.O.P.
- Stands for stop, just stop, hold on, wait a minute.
- Stands for take three deep breath and then smile. Feel your whole body smile.
- Stands for observe what’s happening inside of you. The anger probably doesn’t feel very good. But you have to observe it to know that. Acknowledge how it feels.
- Stands for proceed with awareness and kindness.
Try to make this a habit every time you feel your instinctive anger response trying to get the better of you and make you irritated. It will work wonders. After a while you will have retrained yourself not to react angrily, but with awareness.
