How To Deal With Anger

[205victor]

One of the best ways to control your anger is to leave the place of the incident for a while, secondly, take a walk and look at God's creation, things like different flowers, touch the flowers and try to smell them as in by so doing, you draw your attention to smell and in a short while you'll forget the past. Anger is something that one can control, therefore let not your anger control you.

Anger is the natural emotion created in a fight-or-flight situation by the physiology of your mind and body. When you sense a threat your mind generates fear and anger. The fear you generate is part of a flight response from your physiology. Anger is the emotional energy you generate for the fight against that perceived threat. What can be confusing is that your mind creates fear and anger even when the threat is just imagined.

Emotions like anger are natural and real. Even if the threat is imagined the anger you create is just as real and powerful. However, the reasons you generate anger aren't always real. If you aren't aware of how your mind is imagining scenarios of hurt your anger will appear irrational.

It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish a real threat from an imagined threat because they can happen at the same time. For example, someone is cutting you off on the freeway and a car briefly maneuvers in a way that could cause an accident and possibly injure your body. There's a natural fight-or-flight reaction to your emotions and you create a combination of fear and anger. The reality of this harm usually passes very quickly and so do your emotions.

However, your imagination may take over and create worse scenarios. You begin to consider that you or someone in your car might be hurt or killed. You might recall similar events from your past, project those into your mind, and add more emotion. After the real physical threat passes your mind still projects scenarios in the imagination. Your emotions then respond to those imagined scenarios.

Even later that day when you replay the event in your mind, your emotions respond to the imagined version. The emotions you create from your imagined scenarios are no longer based in anything real. Because of the natural response of emotions to what you imagine you can amplify fear and anger to the degree that they become out of control.

However the fear and anger are natural consequence of the imagined scenarios. The problem is that the imagined scenarios in the mind are out of control and no longer based in reality.

How do you understand anger?

Anger can make you take negative decisions that you will later come to regret and it's a good thing that you control it before everything turns out to be sour! If you don't need problems, make sure you do this; go for walk, a gym, a coffee shop, a mall or read some joke from the internet. I tell you, you will forget everything and feel better!

The best way that works for me is remaining silent. It avoids saying words that will cause more problems and stir more anger.

I tend to think that anger is sometimes inherited.ever seen of a person whose anger is so intense just like his father/mother. before reacting to something look at the consequences.Don't blame your anger on someone because you individually hold your fate.
