Let Go Of Your Anger In 5 Simple Steps

We've all been there, someone says something outrageous at a party or at home.  Your heart races, the words echo in your head.  Before you say or do anything, consider the following suggestions:



1. At the very least, give it time. Do not respond immediately. Better yet, sleep on it.


2. Rethink what you heard. Did you get it right or did you hear what you thought was said? Be honest with yourself.


3. If you can't let it go, talk it over with a trusted friend, or someone else who was there and heard what you did.


4. Think it over. Listen anew, really hear what that person had to say. Doesn't it say more about them than it does about you?


5. If you must respond, pick your words carefully. YOU cannot take them back.


The best thing you can do for your spirit is to learn to let the anger go.  Take the high road in these instances, be calm, and pass forward good will.
