Answer 2

Here's a thought: anger (an emotion) is a response to frustration (a thought--some form of blocked goal, need or want). Anger can also be a response to fear/worry and hurt (both physical and emotional).

The anger resonse is a form of defense many of us learn. Anything that is learned can be changed or modified.

While emotions "charge" us to take some kind of action, we don't have to do anything. Emotions pass. We are in charge of the decision to act or not.

The answer is simple. Putting it in to effect is the challenge. The challenge is to be mindful: paying attention to what we are thinking before we expereince any feeling.

We cannot control othe people, places or things. About the only thing we are in control of is how we think, and therby how we act.

None of us is "entitled" to a life without frustration, fear, hurt, etc. That would be a perfect life, and humans don't have pefect lives. So, frustrations will happen. If we can see them as challenges to learn and grow -- no need for an anger (defense) response. Instead, we can use the energy to create or discover a solution.

Here is a simple exercise that works, IF, it is done consistently. Upon waking, and every two or three hours during the day, take 30 seconds and self rate your stress level on a scale of 1-10. If you find at any time it is higher than 4, this can alert you to be extra mindful.

Whenever something happens that is frustrating, hurtful, threatening, etc. STOP, and take a very deep, cleansing type of breath. This breaks the chain of:

event---> thought---> emotion---> behavior.

Taking a breath, can really help put you back in control of your thinking and decision making. You can then decide to discard any anger response that comes up from your learned "library" of responses. Choose some other response that points you in the direction of finding a solution.

Answer 3

Anger and frustration both are self made end products. Both are harmful to our self. We have our expectations from others and society at large and as they do not come up as per our expectations it brings anger and frustration within. We must remember that we have control on our self not on the others. So first thing is we should not expect others to follow our instructions. Second is that we should follow our chosen path to reach the goal step by step. We must be patient to get the desired result and even if we do not get it we should find out our own mistakes and improve that, in stead of blaming others. Concentrating on our individual entity and doing meditation through yogic techniques will help us in dealing with anger and frustration.

Use your head. That is the best advice, if you get angry and react without thinking, usually you wind up compounding the problem. It is really hard sometimes to step back and take a breath before you react. One of the main reasons is that if you are arguing with a person, they may not be playing fair in the argument dept. I have a horrible temper, but I learned to control it after my husband passed away. That was all it took for me to realize that life was short, and we don't have to leave this world making others and ourselves miserable. Now when I get angry, I try to treat the other person with respect, even if I don't respect them, and I say that I need a break to get myself under control before I say something that I may never be able to take back. Then when I am under control, I come back to finish the discussion; that is important...remember you can say it, but you can never, ever unsay it.....and those on the receiving end will always remember it......
