Your decision making , is based on your emotions.  Negative emotion – wrong decision – bad result. Anger is an emotion that you feel when something irritates you. It can be just a small annoyance or a full blown outrage. 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, example, 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 also affect you physically. One of the physical side effects is 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 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 belief 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 where it automatically prepares you for fight or flight. The frontal lobes of the brain (forehead) are associated with thought, pleasure, creativeness and calmness.

If you 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/s does not bother you any more release your finger and thumb from your forehead. And of course, you can apply the technique to someone else, especially infants.
