People not only become angry for different reasons but the anger takes different forms depending on the learner beliefs, past experience and immediate perception. While you practice returning to the true, original, anger free you, old wounds will continue to emerge as different forms of anger within your consciousness, and then through your behaviour . Here are some practical inner exercises and methods you can use to either head them off at the pass, or begin to heal them.
1. IRRITATION
You create this when things don't happen fast enough
Solution: Cultivate patience and a serene acceptance that everything and everyone has their own rhythm, their own pace of living. And if it's tapping fingers that are bothering you, either start tapping yourself, or gently request them stop tapping.
2. FRUSTRATION
You create this when things don't go the way you wanted or expected or envisaged
Solution: Accept the things went - embrace, work with, and learn from what happened. Accept the way things are. Always respond proactively in the NOW, not reactively against the PAST! Only then will the future begin to turn out be closer to what you envisage.
3. GRUDGE
You create this when you believe you have been wronged by someone in the past.
Solution: Remember, no one hurts you mentally or emotionally, you do it to yourself...always!
4. RESENTMENT
You create this towards those whom you think have insulted you.
Solution: It's not other words that hurt, it's what you did with those words in your own mind. Think of that person who is thick skinned. Nothing seems to affect them. Develop a thick skin. Learn to hear but not hear. Imaging the person who is hurling the insults in encased in a glass jar and while you see their lips move you cannot hear their words.
You also create resentment when you are jealous of someone.
Solution: Stop comparing and aspiring to be like someone else. Get on with your own life. You cannot be someone else and no one owes you anything.
5. CONTEMPT
You create this following your judgement and deep dissapproval of another's actions.
Solution: Separate the person from the action and remember their actions begin with their beliefs. They have likely learner (like you) the wrong beliefs. Remind yourself you cannot control others - suspend your judgement. Don't approved or disapprove. Just watch, Then imagine the most proactive response. Then do it!
6. HATE
You create this when you decide someone represent evil or extreme nastiness.
Solution: Notice how you are making yourself an emotional slave of the object of your hate and that means you are not free, and that means you are unhappy. Remember everyone is intrinsically good, they just forgot. See their hate and their actions as a cry for help, a cry for attention, a cry for love.
7. RAGE
You create this following the build up of anger normally in response to others actions which you deem obstructive or invasive.
Solution: It's time to get help, attend a course, get a coach, enter therapy, learn meditation.
ACTIONS: Visualize yourself in the same situation being anger FREE!
