Anger

Hi All,
Of late I have been noticing that I get angry a lot ,at office and at home,but specially at office.
 It doesn't really matter whose "fault" it is.When I get angry,the person most harmed is me. So I decided to surf the net to find anger management advice....and also ways deal with annoying situations without getting angry. Thats how I came across this beautiful article by Dr.Annette Colby.
Dr. Colby says we need to first accept anger.Most of us have been conditioned since childhood to believe that getting angry is a bad thing. Therefore we end up either supressing the anger or lashing out at someone and then feeling guilty about it. But according to Dr. Colby ,you are not a bad person because are angry.Getting angry is natural. And it is just a passing phase everybody goes through.
She suggests "Personalizing" the anger.You are not the anger,treat it like a separate entity. Accept its presence and thank it for trying to protect you .She says that the gratitude will melt away a lot of the anger and I agree with her. Give love to it and understand that it tried to protect you because you felt threatened in some way. Heal it with Love.
