Suppressing Anger? "Don’t Even Create It"

Anger is not our original nature. By repeatedly being angry when situations are not our way, we make it an obvious reaction. We express it, deny it or at best suppress it. Anger has become chronic, but the good news is we can take a step-wise approach to first control and then finish it.

1 ● Anger is your choice, just as 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲. You don’t choose anger with authority figures or seniors but have given yourself the liberty to be angry at others. Practice meditation every morning to be patient with everyone.

2 ● Initially you may feel tempted to react, but d̳o̳ ̳n̳o̳t̳ ̳e̳x̳p̳r̳e̳s̳s̳ ̳t̳h̳a̳t̳ ̳a̳n̳g̳e̳r̳. Hold it & calm it with the thoughts of 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐲 & 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. When you bring out anger, the other person reacts as well. And then you react further and so does the other person. The magnitude of anger multiplies.

3 ● Tell yourself - 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜. I understand they have a reason for what they did. I use patience and acceptance with them to protect myself and empower them. It is not suppression, but when you finish anger outside, gradually it finishes inside as well.

4 ● Identify one person to give corrections with 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲. Notice how your inner stability benefits you and them. Once you can choose patience with one person, repeat the same with 2 more people tomorrow, and then so on.
