"Get to Know You."
In our daily lives, we often encounter people, situations, and things that can push us to the brink of anger. Anger is a natural and common emotion, but it can be destructive if it's not managed properly. That's why it's essential to understand yourself, your triggers, and the things that make you angry.
When we know ourselves, we're better equipped to handle challenging situations. We become more self-aware and mindful, which helps us regulate our emotions. Instead of reacting to external stimuli, we can choose how we respond. We don't have to get angry.
Anger is an emotion that arises when we feel threatened, frustrated, or powerless. It's a signal that something is wrong and needs attention. But it's essential to recognize that anger is not an excuse to lash out at others or engage in destructive behaviors. Anger is a call to action, not a call to arms.
Here are a few exercises and practices that can help you deal with anger:
Identify your triggers: Make a list of the people, situations, and things that trigger your anger. Knowing your triggers can help you anticipate and prepare for challenging situations.
Practice deep breathing: When you feel angry, take a few deep breaths. This can help you calm down and gain perspective.
Use positive self-talk: Instead of telling yourself, "I can't handle this," say, "I can handle this. I am strong and capable."
Exercise: Physical activity is an excellent way to release pent-up emotions and reduce stress.
Seek help: If your anger is impacting your relationships or daily life, consider seeking professional help.
Remember, you are more powerful than anything or anyone that triggers your anger and threatens your peace.
Repeat after me: "I am more powerful than anything or anyone that triggers my anger and threatens my peace."
Namaste 🙏
