How To Control Anger (10 Step Guide)

(S. Maliha Sehar, Karachi)

Reprogram your mind, reprogram your behavior; towards a better life.

1. Stop Talking
 


Seal your lips. The situation will not go ignored. But for now, just stop talking.

2. Isolate yourself in the moment
 


 

Just move to the next room or anywhere there is no crowd. Just don’t stand in the same place, move farther.

3. Express your anger, Pour out your heart, Speak all the negative things coming in, in your mind.
 


 

Once you find a lonely spot. Speak up! All what’s boiling inside you, let that all come out. Use your voice or do it in your head. But do not suppress! Neither speak bluntly.

(When Hazrat Suleman asked the animals what the thing which always ends up in good and what is the thing which always ends up in bad. The special bird, Hud-Hud told, It’s the Sabr (Patience) which always ends up in good and it’s the “words spoken in anger” which always ends up in bad.)

4. Cry if you feel like

Do not burden your heart. Neither attempt to suffocate yourself. Cry if you need to.

5. Breathe Deeply (x7)

Lift your hands in the air, stand on your toes and stretch yourself out. This will relax you.

7. Smile
 


8. Repeat a Mantra “I am okay, its fine. It is fine.”

9. Rehearse the scene in mind with a stronger YOU.
