How should we control our anger?

Anger is a very strong emotion. It can flare up in an instant - whether it's an impulsive comment, someone's mistake, or any disappointment - and suddenly, we find ourselves reacting. We may say things we don't want to say, behave in ways we're not proud of, and cause pain to ourselves and others.

Each one of us has a quiet place within ourselves - a serene refuge filled with contentment and joy - often referred to in spiritual circles as bliss or divine joy. When we enter this state of consciousness, anger begins to lose its grip on us. We feel calm, centered, and compassionate - not because the world around us has changed, but because we have changed. Let's learn how we can incorporate this blissful awareness into our daily lives and truly learn to manage anger from within.

🌊 Understanding the Nature of Anger is not always a bad thing. It is a completely natural response to feelings of injustice, pain, or frustration. However, if not managed properly, it can be devastating:-

* It can ruin relationships.

* It can take a toll on both mental and physical health.-

* It often gives rise to feelings of guilt, sadness, and regret.The feeling of anger does not cause harm -

rather, it is how we respond to it that causes harm.

That is the part we really need to have control over. So, can we experience anger without letting it overpower us? Absolutely! By being mindful, taking some time to reflect, and connecting with bliss, we can reach a joyful, peaceful state.

* Parmanand means 'supreme joy.' It is the profound joy that: --

Does not depend on material wealth --

Is not influenced by performance or people; it comes from within-

Is rooted in the understanding that you are a soul, a peaceful being, and that God is always with you.

This joy is a gentle happiness, not an intense thrill. When you experience Parmanand, you find yourself becoming more patient, empathetic, and emotionally resilient. Instead of suppressing anger, you learn to transform it

Here are 10 simple yet powerful ways to invite the concept of divine joy into your daily life, which will help you maintain your patience even in moments that may ignite anger:-

1. Take a deep breath -Take a moment to breathe when you feel anger boiling over, press the pause button for a second. Resist the urge to speak or act immediately. Instead, take 3 to 5 deep breaths. Inhale: Peace. Exhale: Frustration.

Comforting thought: "This feeling does not define me. I am calm."

2. Connect with the God within youClose your eyes and imagine a warm, divine light shining in your heart - calm, serene, and bright. Remind yourself: "God is with me. He is a symbol of peace, and so am I." This simple thought can truly help reduce your reactions. Joyful thought:

I am a soul full of light. I choose peace instead of anger.

3. Remind yourself: This moment will pass. A lot of our anger arises from fleeting situations - like getting stuck in traffic, making mistakes, or dealing with rude behavior. Take a moment to tell yourself: "This is just a passing cloud. I will not let it dominate my inner peace.

"Pleasant thought: "I remain calm like the sky. Emotions come and go."

4. Respond, don't react. Reacting is linked to impulse, while responding comes from thoughtfulness. Take a moment before saying anything to ask yourself: 'Will this hurt the other person? Will I regret this later?' Pause, think, and then speak gently.Joyful thought:

'My words have power. Let them be a source of healing, not harm.'

5. When you feel anger boiling over, use a mantra to change your mindset. You can calmly repeat: “Om Shanti” “Om Namah Shivaya” “Shanti… Shanti… Shanti…” This simple practice can help reset your thoughts. Joyful thought: “With each mantra, I return to peace.”

6. Forgive with compassion. Holding onto anger is like holding onto burning coals in your hand. Let it go. Say to yourself: 'I forgive you. I free myself.' Blissful thought: 'Forgiving brings me peace. I become free and rise up!'

7. Make daily meditation a habit. Sit quietly for 10 to 15 minutes every day. Focus on your breath or the divine light within you. Regular meditation helps train your mind to remain calm, even when life is busy. Blissful thought: "Every day, I connect with my true essence - peace, silence, joy."

8. Instead of calling someone 'wrong', 'rude', or 'difficult', try to see them as a soul struggling with their pain or lack of understanding. This doesn’t mean you have to overlook their actions - it means you choose to approach them with compassion rather than judgment. A comforting thought: 'Like me, they too are on a journey of learning. I send them light.'

9. Use your energy in creative ways. Anger is full of energy. Why not channel that energy into something positive? Here are some suggestions: - Go for a walk - Do some yoga or stretching - Write down your thoughts in a diary - Clean or create something new Let your actions speak more than your reactions. Pleasant thought: "I want to use my energy not for fighting but for moving forward."

10. End your day with gratitude and letting go. When you are ready to sleep, take a moment to reflect on your day. If you feel angry, do not berate yourself for it – instead, take a step back, learn from it, and let those feelings go. Tell yourself: "I am growing every day. Tomorrow, I will try to do better." Peaceful thoughts: "I am calm. I forgive others, and I also forgive myself."
