This Is A Lesson In Anger Management ( LOL )

      SEE PART 2 of VIDEO Below….. By Mayo Clinic Staff Do you “fly off the handle” when someone cuts you off in traffic? Does your blood pressure boil when your child refuses to cooperate or acts insolent? Although anger is a normal and even healthy emotion — it’s essential to deal with it in a positive way. Once you are aware you are angry, it’s a matter of choice as to whether you will remain angry or act in a way beneficial to you (and the ones you’re angry at). Uncontrolled anger can take a toll on both your health and all your relationships. Ready to get your anger under control? Start by considering these 10 anger management tips. 1.Think before you speak     When you’re furious, it’s easy to say things that you don’t really mean or to say something you’ll later regret. Hold off….Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything — and allow others involved in the situation to do the same. Listen to understand- not solely to reply. 2.Once you’re calm, express your anger     As soon as you’re thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but nonconfrontational or aggressive way. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them. They may be acting in an offensive or annoying way for a reason that has nothing to do with you.    3.Get some exercise     Clearly, physical activity can help reduce stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel your anger is escalating, if you can, walk away from the immediate confrontation to “cool off” a bit. Go for a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other enjoyable physical activities. Exercise can have wonderful calming and positive results.     4.Take a timeout     Timeouts aren’t just for kids. Give yourself short breaks during times of the day that tend to be stressful. A few moments of quiet time might help you feel better prepared to handle what’s ahead without getting irritated or angry. Some do Yoga, Thai Chi, Meditation, etc.    5.Identify possible solutions     Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work on resolving the issue at hand. Instead of focusing on the problem, focus on the solution. Does your child’s messy room drive you crazy? Close the door. Is your partner late for dinner every night? Schedule meals later in the evening — or agree to eat on your own a few times a week. Remind yourself that anger won’t fix anything and often it  only makes things worse.    View 6-10 on the next page If you Love This!  Please Like Our Face+Book  Page Below. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Muay-Thai-Basics/834438596663096
