Anger Management
Surprised to see the topic name. This is not the review of the movie 'Anger Management'. I know this is quite a off-beat subject, but is really helpful to everybody. You may say now.. what happened to Mahesh as this is just a fresh start of the year and I am touching such a topic. But .. I'll say this is the good time to start working on this. Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems in your personal relationships or at work. Anger can be caused by both external and internal events. We all know about the anger. So we will see few techniques on how we can control our anger.
1) Agree yourself: Quite often, we express our anger on somebody else. We are letting our anger to take control of ourselve. So first tip.. agree yourselve that you get angry. This will help to dilute your anger.
2) Measure: Report the incidence of your anger and your reaction. This will help you to understand your anger pattern. If required, you can take help from your colleagues.
3) Perspective: Typically we blame/hold a person responsible for the anger. Now think in that persons view as well. This will surely reduce the intensity of your anger.
4) Listen carefully: Very often, we give a angry reaction to somebody without listening to him completely. Build a habit of listening carefully, patiently. Improve your communication skill.
5) Humor: Humor as always is the best medicine on anger. It can kill the anger very quickly.
6) Relaxation: Relaxation or meditation will be very helpful. I usually count 1 to 10 when I get angry. ( Yes.. I am a short tempered guy :) ). Yoga may also prove to be useful to remain calm.
One can choose the best method(s) suitable for oneself.
Bottomline is.. one should be able to control the anger !!
Catch you next time,
