Being our Best Self
Harness the Power of Mindfulness Breathing Meditation for Stress Relief
Managing anger can be daunting, particularly when it arises unexpectedly. With Mindfulness Meditation practice, feelings of anger can be alleviated or at worst controlled. After familiarisation with the Mindfulness Meditation techniques daily, anger management becomes easier. Practicing Mindfulness creates a space between our automatic thoughts, feelings and reactions and within this space we create time and space to observe our thoughts and feelings towards a more peaceful response. Here are 10 tips to using a Mindful approach to anger.
- Breathe – Take a few deep breaths and count to 10
- Step Back – walk away and reflect through visualisation
- Give yourself time to ground and reset
- Focus on the feelings in your physical body and relax
- Try a quick Mindfulness Breathing Meditation
- Once calm … check for other feelings like compassion
- Have self-compassion – feelings of anger are natural – it’s what you do with it that matters.
- Take responsibility for your feelings – look within
- Recognize compassion and put yourself in the other person’s shoes
- Return with a fresh perspective
In conclusion, managing anger need not be a daunting task. By incorporating mindfulness meditation techniques into our daily lives, we can better navigate our feelings of anger, creating a peaceful space between our automatic thoughts, reactions, and feelings.
The ten tips outlined above are just starting points on your journey to a more mindful approach to anger management. Remember, the ultimate goal is not to suppress or ignore anger, but to understand it, accept it, and respond to it in a healthier, more compassionate way.
