Overcoming Anger – 5 Keys To Success (Part 3)

Overcoming Anger – 5 Keys To Success (Part 3)

4. Let Go Of The I Am Right Consciousness – One of the most significant causes of anger filled relationships is the ego that I am right and the other person is wrong. The more the ego, the more the anger. Very often people who are very moody in the family or at the workplace and are always shouting at other people and seeing them as incorrect are the ones who are very egoistic. Also, a very common and negative shade of anger is sarcasm - to comment sarcastically on people's actions and to always think that what I think and do is the best and only right. On the other hand, the one who sacrifices his or her ego will be very sweet and merciful in interactions, even if the other person has genuinely committed some mistakes. To see others as innocent and not to be over-critical, a very simple practice is to see atleast one specialty in each and every person we meet everyday. This type of positive vision makes us free from anger and even in the most negative of situations we see people positively and not focus on their faults and weaknesses.


5. Remain Stress Free To Become Anger Free –Life is full of many different types of negative situations and twists and turns, which keep us unsettled and stressed at times. Stress is primarily caused by too many whys, whats, whens and hows, which are questions in our minds. The more the mind is full of questions and unsolved problems, the more the mind will react in the form of toxic words and actions. Problems will always exist but our attachment to them and impatience in waiting for them to get solved at the right time and in the right manner leads to anger. Anger in many cases is just a form of bottled up stress, which bursts open from time to time. Meditation and positive thinking as a result of the practice of meditation are some common techniques to resolve stress of the mind. Freedom from anger follows freedom from stress.

Message for the day


To live in the present is to be free from the influence of the past. 


Expression: Many times the past keeps coming back again and again in the mind, influencing the present too.  The present is lost in thinking about the past.  So there can be nothing done to enjoy the present.  All words and actions then are totally coloured by the past.  Instead the one who is able to free himself from the influence of the past is able to move positively towards the future.


Experience: To be free from the influence of the past it is important to have a powerful consciousness of the present.  To be able to be free from the influence of the past is to forget the past.  Because there is the understanding that it is gone.  Also there is no worry about the future.  When I am able to learn to live in the present I am able to discover how full it is of peaceful moments.
