Manage Anger Without Meditation

Meditation helps in anger management very effectively. However, there are several other ways in which you can manage anger. You experience anger when things don’t go your way, when you are stressed with deadlines to meet, when someone makes you unhappy, or if you are suffering from an illness. Anger can also stem from frustration and an inability to cope with a situation. It is one of the most basic of our emotions. The reasons for anger may be many. Sometimes, it is better to give vent to our anger instead of holding it in, because it gets rid of harmful emotions and clears the air. However, we cannot let lose our anger frequently and not on any small thing that irks or irritates us. So we have to learn to manage our anger so as not to harm the person on whom you unleash it and also not to harm yourself.

Anger Management Tips Without Meditation

1. Take a deep breath and count till twenty: When you feel the anger rising within you and before you allow it to take off, stop and take a deep breath. Then slowly count till twenty. Unclench your fists. Turn away. Do not go in the direction of the person towards whom you are angry. Stay away. Your anger will dissipate. Now think with a cool head about what is upsetting you. If it is a small thing, you will be glad you did not blow it out of proportion.
2. Run or take a walk: If you are feeling angry, lock yourself in a room and pace up and down till the anger settles. Or run or jog in one place. Another alternative is to go out and walk fast or run. Your anger will cool with the physical exercise you do.
3. Keep chanting a mantra at great speed: The energy of the mantra will nullify that of the anger, but make sure you do the chanting at great speed so that it outpaces the speed of the anger.
4. Scream out loud in your room: You can shut yourself in a room and scream out loud. This will get rid of the anger without hitting the target.
5. Box: Box your pillow real hard. The pillow will suffer a while, but your relationship will not.
6. Forgive and forget: By forgiving the person, you replace anger by compassion. If you forget after that, then it is best, for the anger will not return at a later date.
7. Think before you get angry: Stop and think of the destructiveness that your anger has unleashed in the past and this will help you to restrain yourself in the present.
