1. Breathe deep and long breaths. Be sure to open your belly and breathe deep into your abdomen. You may not know it, but when you're angry you're panicking. This will help you to calm down.
2. Walk outside and look at the sky while you're doing your deep breathing. This will help you to put things in perspective, and it can have a soothing effect.
3. Do some stretches. When you're angry your body gets tense and rigid. The stretching will open up some of the tight areas of your body and get more oxygen flowing to your brain and help you clear your thoughts.
4. Get some paper and start writing. Write about how mad you are and why. Don't be nice, reasonable or rational. The point is to get your anger out on the paper, to purge it from your mind. Keep writing until you feel some relief or release, and don't stop until you do.
5. Write about what you have to be grateful for, what you appreciate about your life, your self and (if you can) the person you are mad at.
6. Imagine that you are at the funeral of the person you are mad at. What would you say. What would you miss about that person if they were gone?
7. If you know how, pray. Pray for God to guide you through this dark time. Pray for the grace to see the beauty and vulnerability in the person you are mad at. Pray for the wisdom to see beyond the view of the person or situation that makes you so angry.
8. Imagine that you are the person you are mad at. Put yourself in their shoes. Look at the situation from their viewpoint. How do you look to them? Is that how you want to look? Decide who and how you want to be and act as if you were that already.
9. Remember a time in your childhood when you were afraid, hurt or angry. In your imagination, embrace that child, saying "It's okay. I'm here. You didn't do anything wrong. You're a good kid. I love you just like you are. I'm not going to leave you." Then take the child (your child self) out of the situation to a safe place where s/he can relax, heal or even play.
10. Think about your values. What is the most important thing in the world to you. Who are the most important people in the world to you? What kind of person do you want to be? How do you want to be remembered? Decide that you are that person and you are living by your values, and act as if it were so. This is the fastest way to change your emotions, and it puts you in touch with your true nature, the way you were designed to be.
Remember, inside, you are a good person who wants to help. Think, act and make decisions from that good person that you are, and you can't go wrong!
Anger Management Techniques Children
Do you find yourself having to resort to shouting or anger to get your point across? Do you feel that others rub you up the wrong way and as a result you lose your temper and go ?out or control?? Do you feel that sometimes you can go just a little too far? If so then you need to consider getting some help? and fast! In this hectic age that we live in, more and more people are finding it increasingly more difficult to manage their anger. This is due to many reasons; however there are some things that are the same for everyone. Increasingly over the last few years, hypnosis has become a well accepted way to get the help that you need for anger management.
Hello my name is Richard MacKenzie and I am an emotional Freedom Technique and Neuro-linguistic Programming practitioner as well as a Hypnotherapist. For years now I have been helping clients with issues around anger management. Hypnosis is a very successful resource to help control anger, so if you find yourself needing a little help in that area then you may just have found the right solution for you. So what is Hypnosis and how can it help you to control your anger?
Well first of all ? Hypnosis has been around for many hundreds of years and in the 1950's it was accepted by the medical professions as a very viable option to help deal with a great number of issues. Nowadays hypnosis is used for things such as stopping smoking, losing weight, gaining confidence and for anger management.
When we get angry it is because an area of our brain that we refer to as the sub-conscious mind, doesn't know how to better resolve the situation that we are in. The more we lose our tempers the more the sub-conscious mind begins to see anger as a habit and before we know it, it has all gone out of control.
Hypnosis plays the sub-conscious mind at its own game and begins to re-program it to change its beliefs, thus changing this bad habit. There are some many other benefits to using hypnosis or self hypnosis for anger management; however none as more needed as its speed and efficiency in dealing with such a negative behaviour.
So if you want to give hypnosis a go then I would suggest that you start with a hypnosis download, recording or take a visit to your local hypnotherapist.
