Releasing your anger may be easier said than done, especially if your anger is so intense that forgetting about it is virtually impossible to do. Nevertheless, no matter how you justify your anger, you have to let your anger go.
You have to cut the invisible black cord that connects you to the person you’re angry with.
This is for your own good.
Anger begets more anger. It grows, deepens and becomes more and more difficult to contain as time goes by. It’s like being pulled down in a quicksand of hate.
That’s why at the first rush of blood into your head, before anger could build up steam and blow in your top, cool down. Gradually let go of your anger.
Realize that anger harms your heart both physically and spiritually. Not only can it lead to deadly illnesses like high blood pressure or even cardiac arrest, it can also turn off people, even your friends and loved ones. You will only gain woes and lose the sympathy and love of the people close to you.
You wouldn’t want that to happen, would you? So if you’re still feeling angry, here are a few proven tips on how you can get those heavy, burning feelings off your chest:
1. Go ahead, express your feelings. Write them down on a piece of paper, and then tear that paper into tiny pieces and throw them away or burn them.
2. Allow yourself some time to let off steam. But as you do so, think hard and deep: Could it be possible that the person you want to hit and scream at is actually in your life for a reason? Maybe he’s someone who could help you learn a valuable lesson in life – a lesson in humility perhaps? Maybe he’s in your life to challenge you to do greater things, or to prompt you to drop something in order to move ahead.
3. Once you’ve let off steam and do some soul-searching, you must know learn to release your anger.
Sit quietly for a few moments, take deep breaths, and relax. Imagine a black cord connecting you to the source of your anger, and then imagine yourself holding a scissor and cutting off that cord of hate. Release yourself from that cord of hatred.
4. Visualize a white light surrounding yourself, insulating yourself from all negative thoughts. Let that white light swirl around your body from your head to your feet.
You may then begin to feel a sense of relief, of peace all around you. Congratulations, you have succeeded in releasing your anger.
