Christians and non christians?

Question

What are some good tips that you would suggest for a person to try and make themselves feel better or calm, when they are extremely angry?

Answer 1

Meditation and think positive thoughts. Hun, only you have control over how you feel, if you are allowing others to control that, then you need to take that control back and feel better and happy because you want to. You are in control, if you remember that then you will not allow others to control your emotions.

Answer 2

I would counsel myself to...

... slow down - anythime emotions are really intense an action needs to be thought about over time to be done wisely. James 1

... don't feed it - mock arguing with a person in your car, beating a pillow, smashing things are all ways of feeding the sin.  Just establishes bad behavior and gives away control.

... perspective - back up from the issue in your mind, are you seeing it rightly?  Do you see it from perspective?  Proverbs

... humility - I know my flaws and weaknesses, acknowledging them can keep me from self-righteous judgment and self-righteous actions.  In the situation where anger is justified this helps me to realize that I am not God and I don't have the right to vengeance.  Romans 14

... "put it off" - the Bible calls us to "put off" anger.  It also says "be angry and do not sin".  Realizing that I am tempted with anger (or rage) means that I can make the choice not to submit my will to it. Ephesians 4

....... if you don't put it off it will turn into bitterness, which is another issue.

... last, I know that often people feel that they "can't help it" or that they "black out" and do stuff they can't control... for a Christian this is a lie, but if they believe it they will give in much easier to the anger and sin.  If a person believes it isn't fightable they won't fight.  1 Corinthians 10:13

Answer 3

Anger is not necessarily a sin. You can use the anger to resolve the problem instead of exploding and directing it at people or damaging things. Focus the anger on the correct thing. Try to remember to not sin while angry or do things you would regret later.

I tend to go for a walk by myself, pray and think about how to solve the issue.

Answer 4

Take some time out, distract yourself from what ever made you angry, its proven to work, and then your brain would catch up, then you'll be able to reason.

I learnt this from studying the Amyglada, which forms Anger.  

Answer 5

Deep breaths

A cold drink, particularly water

Wash your face and hands

Get outside and walk if you can

Get away from the person/situation making you angry.

Answer 6

Why ask that in R&S, it is a psychology question.

The answer is meditation and relaxation. There are breathing techniques in yoga and other forms which Will help so tremendously. Also some vitamin B is very helpful as a nerve tonic.

Answer 7

well, i would pray that God let me see them through his eyes...

and also i would remind myself of this saying "being angry at someone is like drinking poison and expecting it to kill the other person.

Answer 8

I simply ask God to be with me and relax me. Then I say to myself, this too shall pass.

Answer 9

Withdraw from the situation that is making you angry.

If this is not possible.............. take a deep breath and count to 10...........

Answer 10

The thing about anger, or any emotion, is that it's a kind of energy.  So if you want to dissipate that particular energy, use it for something else.  Take a good long walk, or run, or do something that will use the energy in a non-harmful way.  If you are in a situation that prevents such physical activity, then see if you can go into a restroom stall, or somewhere else private, and tense up your muscles as much as you can, and then release the tension, and repeat as necessary.  If you can't do that, then yeah, taking deep breaths and really focusing on the breaths could be of help too.  Good luck.  I know it's not always easy.

Answer 11

1) Change of activity: do something else.

2) Change of venue: go someplace else.

3) Change of mind: think about something else.

Take action and make a change! Don't let it build.
