Anger is a very strong emotion just like any other emotions. It can ruin a person’s soul.
Everyone experiences anger. It could be destructive but could be beneficial at times. But allowing anger to eat our very soul and not letting go gives a wrong signal to the universe about making the Law of Attraction work to the fullest.
Your feelings of anger and resentment may be justifiable but if you keep that feeling for a long time then the only person you’re hurting is yourself and nobody else. The object of your anger might not even be aware that you are angry at him. You are not hurting him by doing so but you are hurting yourself.
Here are 5 steps to manage your anger and avoid resentment.
- • Anger is a normal thing
Anger can be a useful emotion in our lives. Don’t be afraid to listen to your conscience when you are provoked to anger.
Depression or despair are unhealthy emotions. But people are always taught that it is better to run away and feel sorry for yourself than to get angry because getting angry can have tragic consequences.
Depression is the result of repressed anger. In order for you not to feel depressed, allow yourself to get angry. You can draw a picture of the person you hate most then you can do whatever you want wit the picture. You can scratch his eyes out, put horns on his head.
“Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head” –Ann Landers
- • Learn to forgive.
Many people refuse to forgive because 1) they feel that the other person does not deserve it and 2) their pride does not allow them to do that. They hold a grudge against the person they are not in good terms with. But the other person is not usually affected because he might not even be aware that you are holding a grudge against him. You must release that person and let go of him.
- • You were born into this world to enjoy life and the ability to fully enjoy life is up to you.
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” – Lewis Smedes
- • You are always responsible for your thoughts and actions.
You should always be responsible for your thoughts and actions. What you feel is not a result a result of other people’s action but really it’s a result of your own actions. Your actions are products of your thoughts. No matter what happens to your life, take control of it. That is the reality. You cannot control other people’s thoughts and actions but you can control yours.
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”- Buddha
- • Move rather than jump up the emotional scale.
Be patient and gentle with yourself. If you’ve been harboring those angry thoughts for a very long time now, then perhaps it’s time for you to let go. It’s no longer doing you any good. Do it gradually, you cannot change overnight. What’s important is you are making the first step which is the most important part.
The law of attraction will match what you are thinking accordingly. It doesn’t matter what kind of emotion you are experiencing or it doesn’t matter how many you have experienced. What’s important is that you are doing it gradually and right.
- • It’s all about your vibration.
The law of attraction works according to the vibrations of your own thoughts. However to be effective there should be a vibrational match which means that your vibrations should match your positive thoughts, wishes, desires and ambitions.
However, at any time you can opt to think about any situation. It takes 68 seconds for the Universe to begin sending similar positive thoughts. As you continue thinking pleasant thoughts, you will manifest pleasant thoughts as well.
If you keep on thinking about angry thoughts you will feel miserable but you have the power to change your circumstances by changing your thought processes.
