By RWM Experts Happiness and anger are two of our most strongest emotions. But unlike happiness, our society teaches us to hold in the emotion of anger from an early age. This is very unhealthy and over time, and if not dealt with, anger can seep through our subconscious and demand expression. This can result in angry public outbursts, anger toward those we love, depression, addictions, obsessions and even suicide in extreme cases. You may not even recognize how far your anger has developed until you consciously see a pattern of outbursts happening overtime. You may not even recognize why you are angry. Many of us block traumatic situations out of shame and guilt. If you are experiencing anger on a reoccurring basis it is highly recommended for your health and the health of the relationships around you to seek help to deal with what you are angry at. From Emotional Release therapies to hypnosis to counselling, there are solutions. And on your journey to a calmer, more positive you, practice the following. This is a fantastic way to tap into the physical and mental of emotional release and is extremely therapeutic. First of all, give yourself permission to EXPRESS your anger. It is healthy to release these emotions regularly as long as you find safe ways to dump the negative feelings. We are not talking about getting into a heated argument here, but more so finding private time and a private space to really get to the root of your need to release. Scream, cry, kick and punch pillows, rip up a telephone book (apologies to Yellow Pages in advance), dance erratically to heavy music, do whatever it takes to release in an uninhibited manner. Do it in a safe manner so you don’t hurt yourself or others, and allow yourself to totally let go without hesitation. Secondly, give yourself permission to FEEL angry. Don’t just pound pillows or rip paper, but really feel the heavy anger emotion with its full intensity while you get physical. This is a very important step that will assist you in releasing your angry energy in a balanced manner. Yes, this is very aggressive, but again if you do this in a safe, private environment, you will experience release; a far better outcome than holding anger in. Plan to do this process in repeated sessions (spend a couple hours, do it daily, make time for it weekly). This will help to break down the layers anger tends to create over time.
