Letting
go of anger is not easy. Anger seizes you like a demon has
come to possess your mind. No matter how hard you try to resist
it, it clings to every fiber of your being like glue. Despite
knowing that you're only torturing yourself, you continue doing
it.
That's
the ghastly power of anger. It's a devastating spell you cast
upon yourself, and only you can banish it. No matter its great
seductive power, anger - just like any other negative emotions
- can be blotted out of your system.
You
don't have to read piles of self-help books to be able to let
go of anger from every molecule of your being.
You
don't have to scare yourself silly by reading about the destructive
effects of anger on your emotional and physical health - how
high levels of hostility could lead to heart attack or other
heart diseases (because your body pumps out a variety of toxic
chemicals when you're in an angry mood).
You
don't have to consult a psychiatrist and pay astronomical fees
just to be able to master your own emotions.
You
don't have to go to a spiritual counselor to inject your mind
with spiritual juices to calm your nerves.
All
you have to do is to turn off your Anger Switch. As simple as
that. Just like pressing the "Off" button in your
TV remote.
But
what "Anger Switch" am I babbling about? Is this a
joke or something?
No,
I'm not kidding. There's really an Anger Switch in your system.
Everyone has it. We won't survive without it. It's our built-in
defense mechanism to protect us from the trauma and trials of
life right from the time of our birth as we leave our mother's
womb.
However,
the problem is that we tend to confuse our God-given survival
instincts - which sometimes manifest as our Anger Switch - in
our dealings with other people.
We
see critics as enemies when they're in fact our "angels
in disguise" out there to lead us to tread the right path.
That's
actually the key to letting go of anger - treat critics
and all other people whose words and action offend you like
they're your "angels in disguise."
Direct
your mind to this line of thinking: "Why is this guy trying
to hurt or provoke me? Why did he enter my life in the first
place? What's his place in my development? Is he just trying
to motivate me, make me do my 100 percent, make me a better
person?"
If
you reflect deeply enough, you will eventually realize that
the person you want to kick in the butt is actually there to
help protect your butt in case you fall down. He's toughening
you up to be ready to take on any challenge in the future.
When
you come to this realization, letting go of your anger
will come freely and naturally.
