5 Keys To Overcoming Anger (Part 3)

Let Go Of The "Only I Am Right" Consciousness – One of the most significant causes of unhealthy relationships is anger & ego that I am right and the other person is wrong. The more the ego, the more the anger. Very often people who are very moody in the family or at the workplace and are always shouting at other people and seeing them as incorrect are the ones who are very egoistic. Also, a very common and negative shade of anger is sarcasm – to comment sarcastically on people’s actions and always to think that what I think and do is the best and only right.

➤On the other hand, the one who sacrifices his or her ego will be very sweet and merciful in interactions, even if the other person has genuinely committed some mistakes. To see others as innocent and not to be over-critical, a very simple practice is to see at least one specialty in each and every person we meet everyday. This type of positive vision makes us free from anger and even in the most negative of situations we see people positively and not focus on their faults and weaknesses.

➤Remain Stress-Free To Become Anger Free –Life is full of many different types of negative situations and twists and turns, which keep us unsettled and stressed at times. Stress is primarily caused by too many whys, whats, whens, and hows, which are questions in our minds. The more the mind is full of questions and unsolved problems, the more the mind will react in the form of toxic words and actions.

➤Problems will always exist but our attachment to them and impatience in waiting for them to get solved at the right time and in the right manner leads to anger. Anger in many cases is just a form of bottled-up stress, which bursts open from time to time. Meditation and positive thinking are some common techniques used to resolve stress in the mind. Freedom from anger follows freedom from stress.
