Positive thinking is a way to regain control during times of distress and uncertainty when fear tries to dominate. Choose to not focus on potential negative outcomes. Make a conscious pivot away from the negative source/stressor and towards a more positive focus.

2. Relaxation Techniques

Relaxation practices improve mood, reduce stress hormones, slow breathing, decrease heart rate, and reduce frustration, all of which are associated with fear. Relaxation techniques include yoga, massage, aromatherapy, music, and art, among others.

3. Breathe

Breathing helps you regain a sense of calm in the midst of fear. Breathing offers the opportunity to take the time to pause, refocus, and process what is happening and what you are feeling. Be Patient Fear can cause irrational thoughts and poor decision-making.

Take some time to just sit with your feelings so you can realize that the fear isn’t valid, help you reason through the fear and develop a solution to adequately address it.

4. Self-Care

Self-care is a way to address the mental and emotional impacts fear can have on the body. Self-care is about prioritizing the protection of well-being and happiness, particularly during periods of stress induced by fear. Methods of self-care include healthy lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise, meditation and other forms of relaxation, stress management, and journaling.

5. Get Informed

Fear is often fueled by the unknown. What we don’t know seems to cause us to panic and think about worst-case scenario situations, especially during a crisis. Manage fear with information from reputable sources. Once we understand a situation or scenario, we are in a much better situation to address it.

6. Gratitude

Being grateful can serve as a powerful means of refocusing attention and energy when in the midst of fearful situations. Gratitude can ground you in positive thoughts when fear tries to overwhelm and override. Humor In crisis situations we are often only surrounded by the negativity and severity of the situation at hand. It is hard to remain afraid when you’re laughing

This is exactly what is needed to overcome issues with the anger that you or someone you know is experiencing.

Uncontrolled anger tends to land you in places you may never have expected in your lifetime.

A few of those unexpected situations or places include jail or prison, the graveyard, court, hospital emergency room, paying restitution for damages, and the list goes on and on!

Any or all these unexpected situations will include monetary costs that have to be met before your name can be cleared.

This tends to extract hard-earned money from your bank account, place undue pressure on you to get past this episode of your life, and the embarrassment it casts upon you.

Now, here you are, riding in the backseat of a police cruiser, spending the night on a cold, concrete floor, in handcuffs and a hideous, musky, orange jumpsuit that does not fit.

You are now forced to face the person who accused you of causing personal or property damage at a bond hearing, and you’re dressed in this ridiculous jumpsuit., while your victim is giving the judge reason after reason why you should not be released from jail before your trial.

It hurts your pride, doesn’t it?

Through it all, if there was any way you could have attended some type of classroom setting that helped you recognize and deal with anger, you would never have been in this costly predicament in the first place.

You never attended any such classroom setting, but the presiding judge has now sentenced you to attend an Anger Management session and to bring proof of your attendance back to court at its conclusion.

So, what do You Do?

Or maybe, you have realized that you are suffering from issues with anger that you cannot control. You have committed damages to physical property and paid the cost for the damages.

You sought to find some type of help for your anger outbursts and destructive ways. You are losing friends, your personal life is crumbling before you, and you want to help yourself to get better.

Find help and get free from the bondage of angry and it's consequences and one useful tip I usually give people is that they should always count to 10 before they take any action.
