Anger - Don't Get Mad and Don't Get Even - Part Three
Anger - Don't Get Mad and Don't Get Even - Part Three
Short-term relievers
# Physically remove yourself from the situation – walk away or end that phone call (but politely – not by slamming the phone down)
# Use your own variation of counting to ten and giving yourself a chance to think and respond. This might involve the previous point – and your going back to the “situation” once calmness has descended
# Take an “anger walk” outside. You might start off taking furious, stamping steps. But, as you get further from the moment, you’ll start to see and appreciate everything around you – and this will help your mind disconnect from the initial fury
# Use your visualisation abilities. Picture a tranquil, calm spot where your mind can “go to” when you want to calm down. You could even keep a physical picture of such a place to look at in your desk or on your wall!
Longer-term relievers
The previous points are for instant use; the following take a bit longer and are carefully planned for their calming effect
# Undertaking a favourite de-stressing activity e.g. swimming, hiking, yoga, meditating and the like. Choose something that gets you fully away from the anger-causing situation (and people!)
# Developing de-stressing hobbies e.g. gardening, golfing (unless you end up more frustrated) ballroom, tap or line dancing. You might even join a local amateur theater group - a chance to express emotions in a harm-free environment!
# Relaxing in a hot, soothing bath whilst listening to your favourite music-relaxers (maybe not heavy metal!) Or, reading a book that fully engages your mind
# If you have a willing partner perhaps you might even receive an aroma therapy massage!
There are many more de-stressors you can consider - find what suits you
And, just in case we are being too serious, in the final of these articles - some fun alternatives
