How to Coach Yourself and Others Essential Knowledge For Coaching | Page 477
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.
