3. Write an enraged letter
Let out your rage through writing. Detail every little thing you’re angry about and
don’t hold back your feelings. Curse, condemn and threaten the person or situation
as much as you like until you’ve exhausted your feelings. Once you’re finished, rip
up or bury your letter.
4. Fire ritual
On a small piece of paper, write down the name of a person who has provoked
great anger inside of you. Light a candle and drop the piece of paper into the flame,
watching as it burns and curls up into ash.
5. Be assertive and take no sh*t
Anger is often the result of not speaking up for ourselves and feeling oppressed by
another person. To avoid repressing this emotion, learn how to negotiate and be
assertive. Being assertive doesn’t mean being aggressive, instead, it is a healthy
style of communication that honours your needs, as well as another’s needs.
6. Do some kicking, punching or intense exercise
Rage and anger are fiery forms of energy that can be healthily expressed through
exercise. Try some form of intense workout and make your objective to feel your
anger to the fullest.
7. Take responsibility for your happiness
Often, anger tends to be accompanied by blame and criticism directed towards
another person. Remember that no one can take away your happiness. As hard as it
is to accept, the problem isn’t the other person, it is how you react to that person.
Realise that anger is a normal reaction, but it doesn’t need to define you.
8. Notice how much energy anger burns up
It takes so much of our effort and energy to hold onto grudges and bitterness.
Notice how forgiveness and letting go of resentment actually increases your energy
and fills you with inner peace.
9. Understand that anger harms you more than anyone
