How to overcome anger

[tonychanyt]

There is a righteous anger. However, if you feel angry frequently and for a long duration each time, something is wrong. It's not good for your blood pressure. You are hurting your health.

1. Acknowledge the anger to yourself and, if possible, to the person you are angry with.
2. Step back from the angry situation.
3. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Focus on the Paraclete who dwells in your spirit. He is real and he gives you peace.
4. Replace your anger with forgiveness and love. Try to understand the other person's perspective and history. Cultivate empathy. That's better for your blood pressure.

If you have a chronic anger issue, try this.

One good news is that your angry hormones usually calm down as you get older.

Proverbs 14:

29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

Be smart. Don't get angry so easily.
