Anger is an emotion that is unusual. Under the
influence of anger, people
are prone to committing violence or to raising their voice. Often, people
regret their actions they take when they are angry. A perpetual state of anger can
lead to high blood pressure.
Calm yourself down when
you get angry. Your body will send
you some signals. You make start breathing faster, blushing or get more tensed
up. To calm yourself down, you must distract yourself for a few minutes. Rage
is expensive.
If you don’t control
your behavior when you are in a rage, you should get into fights and quarrels.
Many people commit crimes because of the moment of rage. Often these rage
moments last only 5 to 10 minutes.
In addition to managing your
own temper, it is clear that people will try to pick a fight with you. When
that happens you can choose to react or you can calm down and walk away for a
while. How you react determines the outcome of the conflict. Learn this –
always walk away first.
Stress from anger
creates health problems. We won’t address health from diet and exercise in this
article. But we can deal with stress from anger. Always handle stress
carefully. You can do that by avoiding conflict. Walk away and always give
factual inputs. Tell people how you feel when they are in a receptive mode.
Sleeping is a good way
to tackle anger. Sleeping calms your mind and body. Having sufficient sleep in
the night is crucial to better anger management.
I have been a victim of
bad anger management. I brood over matters and definitely don’t always hold
back criticism of my own work or my colleagues’ work in
my previous role in a Fintech start up. Many believe that “openness” is the way
to making progress. Yes it is. But openness and tactfulness must come hand in
hand.
Never allow anger to get
the better of you. Don’t believe that you can control yourself when you are in
a rage. Do not even allow the rage to develop.
