How to Coach Yourself and Others Better Coaching Through Visualisation | Page 151

To deal with anger that may remain, you may need a way to express
the anger and get it out. You do not have to keep your emotions
inside... you can choose how to express them.
You can let anger out by breathing deeply.... breathing in relaxation,
and breathing out anger.... letting anger go with each breath.
There are other ways to express anger, too. You can do any of these
activities after this script to allow yourself freedom to express the
anger you experienced. Physical exercise, journaling, talking to
someone you trust.... there are many ways to express yourself.
After the anger has decreased and you are feeling calm, you might
want to address the situation that was upsetting by taking action to
change the situation, or speaking to the person you were upset with.
Or you may just choose to let the situation go.
Once your anger has decreased you can choose whatever option
seems best. You have the right to feel a range of emotions, including
anger, and to express these emotions in healthy ways that you
choose.
I'll conclude this script with some breathing.
Take a deep breath in.... and out.....
in..... out.... relaxing with each breath
in..... out....
in..... out....
Keep breathing deeply to deal with anger and feel relaxed and calm.
Congratulate yourself for dealing with anger with relaxation.
I'll count now from 5 to 1. Imagine that right now, you are at a 5,
and that when I reach 1 you will be feeling awake and alert, yet
calm, peaceful, and relaxed.
