“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” – Buddha

Do you have strategies for eliminating anger when it shows up in your life?

Out of all our emotions, one of the most toxic ones we hold onto for far too long is anger. Anger usually shows up when something is unfair, and when we hold onto that feeling of resentment and we harbor it in our physical system, it can show up as dis-ease. When this happens, it can boil over into all different parts of your life, infiltrating your relationships, your attitude, and even your confidence.

In this episode of The Elevated Life podcast, we’re sharing “3 Strategies for Eliminating Anger” so you can learn tips and tools to manage your anger and prepare yourself, so you don’t fully snap. If you’ve struggled with anger and you’re finding it hard to control yourself when you snap at people, this episode is absolutely for you!

Tune in to hear:

✨ How to recognize your triggers of what makes you angry

✨ Mindfulness practices to utilize in the moment when you feel anger arising

✨ Ways you combat anger from the past and start to forgive

✨ A permission slip to walk away from any negative or anger producing situations

3 Strategies for Eliminating Anger

Prioritize Self-Love

Loving yourself is the first step to managing your anger and living a fulfilling life. Instead of constantly seeking validation and approval from others, we must learn to give ourselves the love and acceptance we deserve. When we lack self-love, we experience frustration and disappointment, leading to negative emotions like anger. But when we start to cultivate love and appreciation for ourselves, we stop expecting others to fulfill our needs and start taking responsibility for our own happiness. By changing our attitude and prioritizing self-love every day, we can elevate our energy and feel more empowered in every aspect of our lives. Let’s make self-love a regular practice and watch how it transforms our lives for the better!

Put The Energy into Exercising

When we exercise, we create motion which helps to transform our emotions into something positive. Whether it’s hitting the gym, going for a walk, dancing or simply laughing, movement is key. It’s important to start slow and gradually build up to avoid injury and also avoid the temptation to dump all our emotions at once. By incorporating exercise into our daily routine, we can slowly but surely start to release some of the top energy, making it easier for us to deal with the remaining anger in a calm and centered way. So let’s choose to move our bodies and transform our emotions into positive energy!

Realize You Can Walk Away

When emotions are running high, it can be tempting to get caught up in drama and conflict. But it’s important to remember that you have the power to walk away from a situation that doesn’t feel right. Give yourself permission to step away, even if it’s just for a moment. Take a breather, collect your thoughts, and consider reaching out to a friend who can help lift you up and put you in a positive state of mind. When you’re feeling more centered and grounded, you’ll be better equipped to communicate your feelings clearly and come to a resolution that works for everyone involved. Remember, it’s okay to take a step back and prioritize your emotional well-being.

INSIDE THE ELEVATED LIFE CLUB

As leaders, we know the importance of emotional maturity.

And of all the emotions we feel, one has the potential to absolutely empower or destroy our lives: anger.

When it helps us, we use anger as motivation to go after our goals, as fuel to give us a burst of energy in dangerous situations, or as a signal something in our life needs to change.

The problem is the other side of anger (the one wrapped in guilt, shame, resentment, jealousy, and rage). 🤬🤬🤬

We have to find ways to channel anger positively instead of letting it devastate us.

That’s why we’re so excited to teach you our strategies for cultivating inner peace in the Eliminating Anger masterclass.
