Stress Management and Relaxation Techniques

Archive for the ‘Anger Management’ Category

 I have never really thought of myself as an angry person.I would always do whatever I could to try and help someone out,nor did I do anything that would hurt someones feelings,or I would try as hard as I could not to. Every month we struggle to get by but I really didn’t complain. I was just happy that we did have the money to pay our bills and have a place to live even though we barely had enough to survive on after paying the bills. Meditation is very much needed in most peoples lives, no doubt about that.

Even after all that I did not get angry,That changed last week.I really had to meditate to myself when I went with my sister to the doctor last week.My sister is a very hard worker.She never misses work unless it is absolutely necessary.Last year my sister had become sick and finally after being so weak she went to the doctor.He put her in the hospital and gave her 4 bags of blood and said she had pneumonia.

I just couldn’t understand how do you lose blood by having pneumonia.As I meditated thinking about last year I was not prepared to hear what the doctor was going to say as my sister and I were driving to the doctor.You see my sister got sick again. She nearly collapsed at work and was taken to the hospital.This time she needed 5 bags of blood.She would keep telling me she was anemic.After the hospital did a ct scan on her they said she needed to go to her lung doctor immediately.That’s where my sister and I were going.

My sister never wants me to worry so she never told me anything and did not want me to go in the room with her when she went in to see the doctor.After I meditated on this I decided when they called her name I would go back with her,and that’s exactly what I did.The doctor came in and you could see immediately the concern on his face.He starting reading the results of her ct scan.He was reading something about her lungs.

He talked about something growing in her nodules and spreading to her lymph nodes.He wasn’t saying it was cancer but I knew by what he was reading it was. I didn’t want to scare my sister so meditating to myself while he was talking I asked what does all this mean? Instead of asking is it cancer I asked could it be cancer?

His response was yes mam.She has to go for a biopsy in a couple of days to see how far it has progressed.I really find myself angry at this point because she has never smoked a day in her life,And here she is 49 years old with lung cancer.So instead of worrying for the next couple of days and getting angry,I simply practice meditation by praying that god please heal my sister.

Say, in a family of four we have to consider four different people with four different personalities. As you can see an understanding of personalities is required to start commanding and mastering the emotions. If a person is in a relationship we only have two personalities to consider, however the two come from two different backgrounds and both have their own beliefs. Likewise, in the family of four different beliefs exist, yet it depends on the length of time the family has spent together to determine the depth of the beliefs and if the beliefs have altered. The personality overall is the quality of a person. The personality distinguishes one person from the other. Some personalities have flaws and may suffer mental or physical illnesses that separate them from another person. It does not mean the person is crazy, rather it means this type of personality has something special to offer.

This takes us to another level, since having an understanding of personality helps, but it is only a start. While all of us have a personality that separates us from another many of us share similar or same beliefs. This makes a difference in families and in life. Infringing upon one’s belief is a surefire way of stirring up emotions.

Beliefs are what make us the person we are also. However, beliefs could be altered at any given time, yet many people fail to alter such traits of humans. Why, because many people find it, too big a task to search for facts and to search beyond facts to find the truth, which is often in front of their face at the start.

Emotions can work in your favor or against you. It is up to you to remove the obstacles in your way to train the emotions to work in your favor. You can start by sitting down and thinking. Consider guilt. Is there some area in your mind where you feel guilty about something you did or said? If so, consider what you can do to remove that guilt to start mastering and commanding your emotions. Next, you can sit down and think of the hate you harbor inside and follow the steps to wiping it out. The mind requires training to work sufficiently.
