Anger management. Something many people do not have, I am not an exception. I have a serious anger management problem. Every time i am mad, i succumb to my instinct to fight, when someone makes me snap, i go in a raging frenzy which is something i am trying to overcome. A counsellor once reccommended to me this approach
Direct This would include making behavior visible and making communication clear. The end result is to not become resentful, but rather, be honest about the feeling of anger and what is causing it.
Honorable This includes identifying the moral basis for the anger, and being willing to dialog around the reason for the anger. In short, this includes taking responsibility for actions.
Focused This means staying with the issue of concern, and not bringing up irrelevant material.
Courageous This implies careful and thoughtful self-examination. Additionally, this means being willing to admit when one is wrong or when a reaction is inappropriate.
Humility This means seeking the truth instead of merely being defensive, and self-justifying.
Forgiveness This means acknowledging the wrong in someone else's behavior or words and then letting go of bitterness and resentment associated with that wrong.
Listen This means hearing the other person out, asking questions around their feelings and their reasons for their action.
Thankfulness This means finding elements related to the situation where one is genuinely appreciative and expressing that.
This is something i want to share with everyone, not just people with anger management problems.
