I’m almost in tears. I found this by accident and had no idea how badly this is what I’ve been looking for to help me regain my footing in this world.

Anger rooted in my childhood trauma has caused me to sabotage the most valuable relationships I’ve ever had. It caused me to lash out and project my anger onto the person I loved most in this world…and then it fed on my guilt and turned inward. I’m working hard. I’m going to deal with this. I never want to hurt anyone, ever again

[roshinisaravanan]

I always get angry on things that are not fair happening at my work place.. I always can't control my anger.. Sometimes I shout at people and scold them... But I am actually a kind person by nature but situations make me feel angry at times.. I feel amazed listening to ur speech and looking at your calm face... I wish I could be like you one day.. Thank you very much sir.. Namo buddhaya👃

[poulamichatterjee]

Ways to deal with anger, though it is a difficult task:
1) Acknowledge ‘your thoughts’, that they are generated due to anger. “What am I thinking now? In which state is my current thought is at?”

2) Focus on breathing - Breathing will be short and fast when you are angry. Focus in slowing down your breath. Take 2-3 long deep breaths and let it out. This helps to calm your mind and body.

3) Reflect on your thought pattern and ask “why did I get angry?”. Anger prevails in your mind. Anger is something YOU have created. You have two choices - react with negative behaviour or to respond with positive behaviour.
Your experience is going to depend based on the choice you make. You have the power and privilege to respond with positivity. Hence, believe in patience.

Believe in calm, kindness and patience - this will help to manage anger. Sometimes it is ok to experience anger in your mind but It is not okay to let the anger to flow out of from our bodily action and in form of words. These conscious practices will help you to manage your emotions.

Namo Budhaya 🙏🏼🤍

I was vigorously waiting for it I lightened the candle in front of buddha ....And I'm listening this learnings this is so soothing 😌

[kriashun]

This made sense. I like simple truths/instructions- not long philosophical Ted talks ( no offense). Recently I’ve noticed that when I’m angry about something, my thoughts don’t end there – suddenly I realize I’m remembering situations from my past that have made me angry- most often, the unresolved situations…. I catch myself, and I wonder “now how did I get here where I’m angry about something that’s passed?”
I know that my angry thoughts lead to memories of other angry thoughts and I know that is not healthy.
I like this. I’m subscribing.

I always learned one thing from your video's it doesn't matter whatever, whenever, wherever happen any annoying things just let it out be kindness to others in my professional life I met so many patients they couldn't even giving ear to my words they behave so much arrogant sometimes they scold me for non of the reason but i always remember one thing be kindness to others because we don't know how long we're gonna live in this world until it's happened spread love with others ❤

Anger is perhaps the most misunderstood emotion. It’s usually called “negative” in so-called spiritual circles, and is often equated with rage and hate. But in reality, anger — just like any of our basic emotions — isn’t negative in itself. Rather, it’s there for a very important reason: to help us live a better life. More specifically, it’s there to help us remove what’s obstructing our way to joy and freedom. And it does so by drawing our attention to what our needs are, what’s preventing us from meeting them, and what corrective actions we can take in order to meet them.

I’m struggling with anger issues for 3 years and I still can control it I am struggling with screaming noises and hearing sounds and difficult situations as well, although my anger was severe 2 years ago and my anger gotten more worser and worse, that’s why I break stuff and done harmful and dangerous acts as well, also I am trying too control it now, but I am now trying to stop the anger now 😊

To anyone feeling put off, because anger is very impulsive, especially when arising from trauma, this is still possible. The noticing step is very important and to notice your anger with loving kindness or self compassion. Noticing is the gateway which will allow you to step back and make the change so that you are less reactive. Good luck! :)
