Self-Awareness 101 Episode 39 - Dealing With Your Anger

[smallpotatoes989]

you know what helps me: beating the shit out of somebody!

[SelfImprovementClips]

Most of the times, when we go into a rage, innocent people are being hurt (either physically or psychologically) because of our "moment of folly". And personally, I feel that this video is really helpful in helping one deal with their anger.

Thumbs up on this one, and I'm going to share this video with my readers in my self-improvement blog. :)

Cheers

I'm not a reactive person- I do stop myself when someone is frustrating me... I usually decide to respond in a calm, quiet manner but point out to the person why I am angry. I still feel that I am being poisoned by the anger I am suppressing. I don't usually have the physical impulse to hit things. Perhaps doing that in a controlled way would help. Bottling anger up is going to hurt me and I want to find a way to avoid that situation.

Thanks

turn it down a notch - calm person is better than someone who is on the edge

i seen this and thought " what does this fuking prick have to say about anger"

[jim0van0song]

One thing about this: it deals with anger that is unjustified. Say perhaps if you are very aware that you have been wronged. Dreadfully wronged by others, and in what you perceive as an insulting and dishonest manner despite the fact that you yourself remained honest and patient until that point. It is only natural to be angry afterwards, but how can this type of justified indignation be stopped from coming back and making you wish you had let all fly at the responsible party back then?

[mikese93]

this video seems to be geared toward irrational anger, anger that's not neccessarily justified, or if it is, is disproportionate. what if you don't have a problem expressing your anger, but it's existence drags you down and makes you more and more miserable? which in turn makes you more susceptible to getting angry?

[TheWarriorSage]

@mikese93 We actually address something like that in a later episode. Episode 46 was made in response to a similar comment that someone made in our forums.

what happens when someone (like me) gets mad but does not react with someone else or something else? (i'm not saying i hurt myself or anything, but i tend to just hold the anger, i really don't want that)

Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful video with great message. Yes we all undergo the process of anger as explained..after seeing this video it gives us an outlet to know that we can come over anger the way it is suggested by the presenter.

Thanks and best regards

This is a very good video. There are also other steps that you can do as well ! I will see if I can do a video response to this ! John T

My suggestion is: When you get angry, ask your self "what I am fearing of" and then ask your self "how I would feel and what I would do if there would not be that fear". And take responsibility. If you get angry because you were wrong, deal with it and learn from it. Anger and hitting things will not change that fact that you have been wrong.

Realize that anger don't change anything, it is only way to fool your self. See things as they are, not by fear but with understanding and love.

when I am very angry I do push ups and pull ups, it gets me really exhausted.
