OK Fine. What do you do when you feel angry?

Question

It's time I asked a real spirituality question.
Ready. go.

Answer 1

I try to figure out why I am angry. Sometimes what I think I am angry about is not the real reason I'm angry.

After I determine why I'm angry, I try to understand what all my options are for changing the situation that I reacted to in anger. I will prioritize them by the likely hood of their helping to relieve my anger.

Then I will set out to try to do all I can do to change the situation, and also, to dispel the physical aspect of the effects of the anger. (Drumming works well, as does walking, writing, talking with someone I trust about the problem, etc.)

Good luck to you.

Answer 2

I generally have to talk about it (or write a letter about it) to the person I am angry at - unless I am super angry, then i talk to someone not involved about it. The goal with that is to see the other person's perspective, or make a plan to counteract, or just to know that others agree with me and I am not crazy.

If that doesn't help or I can not bear to speak to the person, I try to spend some time visualizing them very happy and at peace. The idea here is to purge the anger from myself, not forgive them, just release it - so being able to see the object of your anger in such a peaceful and happy light eventually allows the anger to dissipate. It's hard to start, but after daily practice I was able to make some progress in about 3-5 days.

Peace!

Answer 3

There are 4 options (of which I am aware and can categorize)
1. Repress it. Pretend you don't have or feel anger
2. Supress it. Stuff it down inside.
3. If you've done either 1 or 2, you'll likely Express it, often all over someone you care about, who doesn't deserve it and who'll be blindsided by it.
4. Confess it. Yeah, make like the greatest king that ever lived - David. Browse through Psalms. This was a man who could praise God when things were going well and give God the first-fruits of his joy. And who could howl and rage at God when he was miserable or afraid.
God loves to dialogue with us. Start one with Him! Generally, if you vent to God (and His shoulders can take anything we can dish out!) and within a few minutes you'll be ready to hear what He has to say to you about the bigger picture. Ummmm, yeah, you'll have apologized to Him by then for being rude but He'll already have forgiven you.

Answer 4

it is organic, i think of it is not only anger and injury aswell, injury that your sibling would do this and bypass away you and your loved ones at the back of, and offended on the certainty that she tried it ordinarily, i'd reccomend which you attempt to maintain her techniques off those issues and stay together with her in any respect circumstances, there are all forms of procedures around so you might use to dedicate suicide, i does no longer bypass away her on my own for a whilst till your constructive she's snapped out of it, i think of she could make new friends, if she does not desire to, high-quality, yet only attempt and convey up the undesirable factors of being friends with those human beings, i'm constructive in case you tell her adequate, it's going to sink in, this boy that may not bypass out together with her, convince her that he's no longer well worth it and he or she'll discover the guy for her quickly adequate, which will treasure her, make constructive she's ok in any respect circumstances, you in no way be attentive to what could take place!?

Answer 5

Well.. for me I'll just reason myself to calm myself down. Look at all things in all areas then I feel that it's not worth being angry or I feel that I shouldn't be angry. Like Confucious said, before you show your anger think of the consequences first.

Answer 6

Take a deep breath! Count to 10 and Do something More Constructive!!
Taken Years of Practice Mind you!!

Answer 7

Be ye angry and sin not. Anger isn't a sin, it's how you use that anger that matters. I usually write letters, some which get mailed and some that don't. In order not to lose my temper I need to seek God's face and ask for strength.

Answer 8

the best way to control anger is to breathe deeply&don't say anything u think u should say at that time!think carefully first&then tell ur opinion to others who u are angry with,don't shout at them...u can listen to relaxing music too&the most important&effective way is to ask God to help u to control ur anger!he'll help!read ur religious book(i don't know what urs is,mine is Quran), &think about God...he'll make u calm&relaxed

Answer 9

I feel anger is a cancer. When rage hate and anger build up our cells implode. We are dieing when we do that to ourselves. So, I process my anger and go directly to the source of some unforgiveness in my life and let God and let go of forgiveness. Having been forgiven I can now forgive. Forgive them for they know not what they do.

Answer 10

Find a way to channel that energy into something constructive if possible. If not, distract myself until I get over it.
