Everyone gets angry at sometime in his or her life over something that happens. However, anger is a negative emotion that leads to feelings of sadness, guilt, frustration, unhappiness and helplessness. Anger is an emotion which we must recognize and be able to let go in order to be happy and successful in life, finding a resolution for the anger is essential in being able to let it go and move on. Knowing what you are actually angry with helps, do you feel angry at another’s actions or are you angry at your own reaction?

Finding out what actually upsets you is an important factor in actually narrowing down what it is that is bothering you. The more you practice controlling your anger the easier it becomes to let it go and move on and by learning to control your anger you are effectively learning to take control over your life and happiness. Here are 7 top tips for gaining control over your anger.

1. When you feel anger beginning to build up inside of you, let your whole body droop and relax to the best of your ability while beginning to breathe from the diaphragm, breathing in this way helps to calm both the body and mind which leads to letting go of the anger before it takes a hold.

2. Ask yourself if being angry and working yourself up is going to make any difference to the situation, for example if someone cuts in front of you, is it really going to change anything if you curse and blow your horn. Is it worth stressing yourself?

3. Visualize a stress free zone in your mind, this should be a place where you feel totally relaxed and calm and a place which only you knows about where you can quickly go too when you feel anger beginning to build up inside. It can be a totally imaginary place or one that you have visited in life where you feel totally relaxed and at ease.

4. When you feel anger beginning to build up due to someone else’s actions think of yourself doing exactly the same thing as they did, would you be angry with yourself if you were the one doing it?

5. Realize that it’s you and you alone that is allowing the anger to build up inside of you, while it may have been caused by someone else, you chose to let it bother you and to get angry.

6. Counting to 10 really can help to diffuse anger, by concentrating on counting you are forgetting what happened and are consciously letting anger go.

7. Repeat an affirmation or mantra to yourself whenever you feel anger beginning to build up inside, for example tell yourself to “take it easy”, “I feel calm and relaxed”, “anger isn’t going to get me anywhere” or “let it go”. Affirmations can help to diffuse your anger and get you back on the right track to thinking in a more positive and calming way.


ALLOW NOT TEMPTATION
It is beautiful it looks wonderful
What I have is not enough
It looks better than one at hand

Have you understood devil’s strategies?
To tempt to destroy future goods
Love dies for selfishness in chronologies
But to God many must only tray

Temptation will and must arise
But only discipline before helps all
Though in falling rising must twice
Everyone the process of perfection follows

One step and two many have failed
Allow not that loved to lead thought
But confer the word and sail
For in time you’re a savior

LOVE OR TONGUED
The word goes on a voyage
I love you God bless you
But the needs stand without courage
And in un-happiness life goes on

Love or words which do part?
The world is selfish, not all
I’ll help you not with the heart
Men will and will be men

The words the action portrayed
The game of living and dying
How many understand what sailed?
We portray words where’s the action?

One step daily backward in words
While many are dying for the trust
We call leaders’ mistakes our sword
But who can but look the mirror?

To your success,
