Deep breathing practices serve us well, as they are effective when it comes to staying calm and centered when stressful times come.
How do you contend with rush hour traffic? A centered person will focus on the present, perhaps staying aware of the breath, and being able to get through it with a peaceful and cheerful heart. However, someone who is not centered may be steaming mad, cursing, and have a miserable ride.
The breath is powerful, so the more you can focus on it, the more at ease you will be.
2. Meditation
Meditation works wonders when it comes to contending with anger. In fact, if you struggle with angry feelings about your past, take up a meditation practice regularly and watch how it helps you process and let go of such anger little by little. Even if you only meditate 5 to 10 minutes a day, it can help with emotional regulation.
Regular exercise can also help you decrease the amount of anger you feel.
You can walk, jog, lift weights, go hiking, play sports, do aerobics, dance, and so much more. Yoga is also a form of exercise that has many benefits, including emotional regulation.
As I mentioned, feeling angry sometimes is natural. The key is to find ways to express your anger in healthy ways. Another key is to not let anger build up in you, because over time, the intensity of such an emotion can bring you down. And, you could end up exploding when you least expect it.
What are some ways you can release anger in healthy ways?
Try the things I’ve already mentioned. In addition, you could try screaming into a pillow or punching one. As you do this, you get those intense emotions out and typically, you feel better afterward.
You can also have a conversation with a therapist if anger is getting the best of you. Talk therapy can help you get to the root of anger issues.
