The Best Ways To Deal With Anger

Friday, June 29th, 2007

Anger is an emotion that you feel when something irritates you. It can be just a small annoyance or full blown out rage. Your perception of anger was learned, in the form of beliefs and values that were instilled in you. Usually, in the early stages of your emotional development. When any of your beliefs or values are questioned or transgressed, you may feel anger. The degree of intensity depends on your state of mind at the particular time of the incident.

Your feelings of anger are either expressed, as in the form of arguing or physically lashing out, or suppressed. Suppressed anger causes negative emotions to dominate, which can lead to depression. It can also express itself as a physical ailment such as high blood pressure.

Expressing anger is said to be your better alternative. Although it may bring you some relief, it also has its downside. It may compound the problem and it can also affect you physically. One of the physical side effects is that it lowers your immune system. What would be one of the best ways to deal with anger?

Release.  The first thing you need to do is to recognize and admit that you are angry.  Never pretend you are not angry when you  know you are. It is widely accepted that people who always want to be in control seem to suffer mostly from outbursts of anger. When you are angry, you will notice that you stop breathing periodically. You may tend to hold your breath, so keep breathing with intervals of deep breathing. Then, recognize the problem for what it is, and not for what you think it is. After all, you are dealing with somebody else’s beliefs and value system. Just tell yourself, they also have a right to express their opinions.

When you do get angry, much of the blood in your brain flows to the back of your head. It goes to the primitive part of the brain were it automatically prepares you for fight or flight. The frontal lobes of the brain (in the forehead are) are associated with thought, pleasure, creativeness, and calmness.

Simply put two fingers on one side of your forehead and your thumb on the other side, and just gently hold them there while breathing without any pauses. The blood will flow back to your frontal lobes, bringing about some calmness. When you feel relaxed and the issue or issues don’t not bother you anymore, release your finger and thumb from your forehead. And of course you can also apply this technique to someone else, and it is especially effective with infants.

Now You See It – Now You Don’t: Learning To Focus Properly Is The Key To Success

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Many people have heard about the book called “The Secret,” it’s ultimate message being: If you simply think or visualize your wants, they will eventually materialize. As someone grounded in the real world, however, you know that this type of thinking is, as our mothers used to say, “wishful thinking!” Indeed, there is no getting what you truly want in life with mere wishful thinking. There are, however, a combination of different techniques required to release negative beliefs and thought patterns. Then, when you practice accentuating positive beliefs that will result in positive emotions, your desires then will have a chance to become reality.

Being able to focus correctly, and to concentrate and pinpoint your exact goal, is an essential factor in achieving success. Focusing and feeding your mind with positive thoughts becomes the driving force in producing positive emotions and, ultimately, outcomes. Just as a poorly tuned T.V. channel or radio station gives out low quality images and sound, an unfocused mind results in poor outcomes. Unless one allows positive thinking to fine tune one’s inner desires and vision, they will likely remain just that, mere desires and visions –
“static fuzz.”

When trying to focus your mind, a suggestion is to sit or lie down in a quiet place, relax, and run through those thoughts that are related to your goal, like the scenes of a movie. As you process these thoughts (or scenes) in your mind, the different emotions and feelings attached to them will become apparent. Now this is the important part: You will know when you are focusing on the correct thoughts, when you experience that immense feeling of elation, that feeling of “oneness,” that right on feeling! You are now “tuned in.”

This is how individuals now need to focus on in their visualization and imagination daily.  It is a very simple process.

Some people have so many thoughts that they just cannot seem to clearly and totally get absorbed on their focal thought point . They just don’t seem to be able to get their desired results. If so, this means they have some negative mental blockages that are interfering with the process. Unless they release these, no amount of visualization is going to help. That fuzzy picture will keep coming back to distort the image and positive emotion. The result? Focus is lost. Frustration sets in. Finally, they give up. This does not have to happen!

Visit www.mindeze.com to find out how to rid yourself of negative thoughts and release your negative emotions that are holding you back, as many people around the world already have and are still doing. You will be surprised how simple it is. The great thing is — you will then be able to focus with ease.
