How to overcome your anger

 

1. Avoid sleep deprivation 

Make no mistake, not having a good night's rest can really mess up your day. Most times when i do not sleep enough i find that i get very sensitive and aggressive during the day. The truth is if you do not sleep, you wake up angry for not resting enough and that anger can rub off on just anyone.

2. Always think before you speak

Harsh words stir up angry feelings; we tend to say thinks we do not mean and can not take back when we are overwhelmed by anger. The wise thing to do is to control what you say by thinking first.

3. Hide your anger

Make no mistake, for someone to upset you they are trying to start a war. In fighting wars the first step is to become formless; that is to say, do not show your emotions. This is your single greatest strength. I would talk more about this in subsequent post.

4. Pay attention to body language/psychology

Understanding why people act the way they act would better put you in a position to exist above their pettiness. Insecure people tend to attack just anyone to make themselves feel better; jealous folks attack those they are jealous of. When next someone tries to annoy you, try to figure out why. You would be amazed how you feel after.

5. Be confident 

Let me tell you a story. I went out with a bunch of friends to chill and grab a few drinks, suddenly my friend hit me with the "you talk very slowly" line. Normally i should pick offense cause he was trying to be funny at my expense because of a certain girl. I responded with a very slow "yes i know" which caused everyone to burst into laughter. With a very beautiful smile, she said "i love the way he talks. so in control and ....blah blah blah". my point is angry people are ugly people and I'm certain you do not want to be ugly.
STAY CALM, STAY IN CONTROL AND BECOME ATTRACTIVE.
