| Synopsis To Managing Anger: | ||
| An'ger n. Great Annoyance: a feeling of extreme annoyance. Ma'nage'ment n. Handling something successfully. Feeling angry is not a bad thing, it's one of our normal emotions, it's what we do with it that can break apart relationships, business deals and sadly, families. More and more, people are seeking a quicker, less expensive, more compassionate and non-confrontational way to settle their lawsuit. Enter mediation, exit attorneys and court visits. Mediation is a collaborative method in which parties in a dispute are assisted by a neutral party to voluntarily reach their own mutually acceptable solution. People get angry when they've reached a level of loss, lost control of a situation or circumstance or have misplaced the ability to bridge the gap between "what is" and "what should be." In order for one to manage anger successfully, it's important to understand your own tolerance level. Uncover and pay attention to what you're made of, what makes you tick, and where do you draw your boundary line, basically who are you? Everyone has a breaking point, but you must try hard not to get to that level because if you do, it's very difficult, it's emotionally draining and harder to recover from. Try changing your attitude today, because tomorrow you'll feel better. When anger causes communication to shut down, and you've clearly created a hostile and uncomfortable environment for everyone around you, it's time to look yourself in the mirror and ask "am I someone I would want to come home to right now?" NO, of course not, in your current state. So, what can you do to rid yourself of this toxic annoyance? It's crucial to redirect your thoughts away from the toxins and towards thoughts that will bring a smile to your face. For example; Think of a happy memory from your childhood, or funny things that you say and people laugh hysterically or do something nice for someone. Remember, your self-value comes from the value you bring to others. Practice optimism instead of pessimism. Did you know that people who choose to live an optimistic life, live 20% longer than a person who chooses to live in a pessimistic world, and optimists out perform pessimists by 50%. Choosing to see the glass as half full rather than half empty is a stepping stone to feeding your brain with health rather than toxins. People can change their behaviors if they want. Life is full of choices, people choose their own path and directions in which to travel. So I ask you, why would anyone choose a path of destruction rather than a path of distinction? The only explanation I can come up with is this; a self-loather, lacks in confidence, seeks constant attention and praise. People gravitate towards positive behavior rather than negative, because positive is happy, colorful, smells good and feels fantastic. Or, of course, you could choose the opposite...yuck... |
