News India Live, Digital Desk: In today’s busy life and work pressure, getting angry has become a common thing. But do you know that frequent anger not only spoils your relationships, but it can also cause serious diseases like heart attack, high blood pressure and mental stress? zee news According to the report, controlling anger is not a difficult task, you just need to make some small but effective changes in your habits.
As soon as you feel your anger rising, instead of reacting immediately, start counting down from 1 to 10.
Benefit: It sounds simple, but it gives your brain time to ‘think’ by stopping it from ‘reacting’. This reduces the immediate impulse of anger.
When we get angry, the level of ‘cortisol’ hormone increases in our body and breathing becomes faster.
How to do: Close your eyes and take long deep breaths. Release it slowly.
Bearing: By doing this 5-10 times, your nervous system gets a message of peace and muscle tension starts reducing.
If any person or situation is making you angry, the best solution is to move away from that place immediately.
Walking: A 5-10 minute walk or getting out of the room diverts your mind. Talk about the issue only after you calm down, this reduces the chances of the dispute escalating.
Anger is often the result of pent-up stress.
remedy: Do yoga or meditation for at least 20 minutes daily. ‘Anulom-Vilom’ and ‘Bhramari Pranayam’ prove to be very helpful in eliminating anger from its roots. Physical activity releases ‘endorphins’ i.e. happy hormones in the body.
Lack of sleep is the biggest reason for irritability and anger.
Sleep Cycle: Get 7-8 hours of deep sleep daily.
Diet: Too much caffeine (tea-coffee) and spicy food also bring aggression in nature. Include cool things like coconut water, buttermilk and fresh fruits in your diet.
Often we suppress our thoughts in our mind which later come out in the form of anger. Learn to express your problems at the right time and in the right way. If you feel that your anger is out of your control, do not hesitate to talk to a professional counselor or therapist.
