ANGER SMART: "Spiritual Relaxation"
by Ron Huxley
by Ron Huxley
Anger Thought: One of the most basic
techniques for managing stress and anger is
physical relaxation. So how many people do you
know, dealing with anger and aggression, practice
spiritual relaxation? Spiritual relaxation refers to
letting mental sources of tension go instead of
physical sources of tension. The key to doing this
is verbally forgiving others for their actions toward
us. This is not easy and is why so few people
practice it. But, unless forgiveness is given, there
will be no real freedom from anger and aggression
in your life. Keep in mind that forgiveness is not
the same as forgetting. Denial is an unhealthy
behavior if practiced long term. And, pretending an
offense against your life never happened is
impossible. Why let your past continue to control
your emotions in the present and future? Let go
spiritually and find real mental peace.
Anger Action Plan: Out loud or in a journal,
complete the following sentence: "Today, for my
own well being, I choose to forgive these
people/situations..." Do this for one week. Observe
the change that comes over you during that period
of time. At the end of the week, recite or write this
phrase: "I release myself from the past and its
pain. The people and incidents I have forgiven no
longer have power over me." If your anger
continues or more anger/aggression comes up as
a result of this exercise, immediately see a
qualified psychotherapist for more help.
