And when I gave in, I ended up expressing my anger in a toxic way that hurt myself and those around me.<\/p>\n<p>But over the years, I&#8217;ve learned to look at this specific feeling in a different light. So now, it&#8217;s way easier for me to keep a handle on myself when this familiar visitor comes knocking.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s never easy to master the realm of your heart and mind. But, if you start applying these steps that we&#8217;ll go over, you can keep anger from poisoning your life.<\/p>\n<h3>#1.Step aside<\/h3>\n<p>What I mean by this is acting like a third party looking from the outside in. Don&#8217;t think about what made you angry or why the situation is unfair. Instead, simply focus on what you&#8217;re feeling in the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good diversion from acting out in anger. At the same time, this allows you to observe yourself as if you&#8217;re another person.<\/p>\n<p>Feel your heart racing and your muscles tightening. Then, try doing some breathing exercises as you take note of your physical reactions.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, make no room for anything else in your mind but what you&#8217;re feeling right now. This will help you disengage from your emotions and let your rational side come back.<\/p>\n<h3>#2. Reflect<\/h3>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve pulled yourself back from the brink of lashing out, the next step is to continue observing what happened. Think about the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What set you off in the first place?<\/li>\n<li>How do you feel about the situation now that your anger has come to pass?<\/li>\n<li>What can I do to handle a similar situation better in the future?<\/li>\n<li>What steps do I take to repair the damage rising from my anger?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you go through these questions, don&#8217;t forget to also give yourself some credit for keeping it together as best as you could. Right now, you&#8217;re still learning how to deal with your emotions so be kind to yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>#3. Find a healthy outlet<\/h3>\n<p>As I learned about dealing with anger, I came across an effective metaphor.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a well with clear water, then someone throwing a bottle filled with poison. Now imagine that they keep doing this every day. Sooner or later, the toxic contents from those accumulated bottles will eventually leak and poison the well.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, it&#8217;s impossible to keep a lid on something as toxic as anger in your heart. One way or another, you&#8217;ll spring a leak and the results could be explosive.<\/p>\n<p>So the best approach is to create a safety valve for yourself so that you can let off steam in a safe, measured way.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of ways to purge your negative emotions. Find something to do that aligns with your personal interest and use that as an outlet.<\/p>\n<p>The more you engage in pursuits that give your life more meaning, the less likely you&#8217;ll have a meltdown when the time comes.<\/p>\n<h3>#4. Focus your energy elsewhere<\/h3>\n<p>Building on the last point we talked about, it&#8217;s also important to create a better life for yourself in general. Your hobbies and other passions have their place in your life, but you should also work on improving your situation as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>I found that choosing to spend my precious time and energy on creating wealth and prosperity is its own antidote to anger. When you put yourself in a position to receive virtually unlimited opportunities for growth, it&#8217;s harder to be angry at the world.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve actually discovered that this last step is by far the most effective way to eliminate negativity from my thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n<p>And the wonderful thing about it is that I use what&#8217;s known as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinymiracle.com\/go\/written\">The Lazy Person Secret<\/a>&#8221; which boosted my ability to attract all of this easily.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly I could realize everything I dreamed about before I learned the missing piece to the manifestation puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to make the Law of Attraction work for you, here is a video that talks about it.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinymiracle.com\/go\/written\">Find out the secret behind &#8216;The Secret&#8217;<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Wishing you endless prosperity,<\/p>\n<p>Heather<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author of Manifestation Miracle One of the biggest mistakes I used to make in keeping my temper in check was to treat anger as a sort of evil entity.
