20.Controlling Anger
Becoming angry is something beyond the control of people(36)FBecoming angry can do a lot of damages,both mental and physical.However,there are methods for discovering how to control anger and not suffer later.
●(37)BThe moment you feel there are chances of you becoming angry,get away from those circumstances.In fact,there can be no better a judge than you,for discovering what it is or who it is that makes you become angry,and then at that moment choose to think about something else that can lighten your feelings.
●Keep a check on your breathing.(38)EBy controlling the process of breathing,you can actually slow down your anger greatly.You can count till the number three as you breathe in,hold it for 3seconds and again count till three while breathing out.You have to concentrate on the count as you do this and repeat for as many times as is required.
●(39)AFor example,if you're experiencing road anger while driving,you can choose to tell yourself that the person who overtook you by a vehicle was in a hurry as a result of some emergency and appreciate the fact that nothing major had happened to your car.Repeat this form of self talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation.
●Look for a support in other people.(40)DIt needs to be clear right at the beginning as to why you are discussing your concerns with that individual.Let the other individual know what you want from the other person.After you're done with your part of discussing about the circumstances,chances are that you'll feel much better than before.
