Emotional Mastery: Channeling Anger

Friends, this post is a part of an upcoming webinar series for a life of fulfillment and happiness – “Emotional Mastery”, with my dear friend Suresh Sivaraman (Blog: themindfulinfluencer).

We will soon announce the dates for the first live event. As a prelude, here are the links to a gift pack of 5-video series, “Emotional Mastery: Channeling your Anger”. Thank you so much Suresh for such an insightful conversation!

We start the conversation with an interesting question – are we witnessing a culture that excessively glorifies and ignites anger? We share some statistics and discuss how anger has become such a common attitude in day-to- day life. Be it in the form of aggression, a part of discipline or even so called “macho” image and “fighting” spirit.

Do we ever take a pause and think “Why are we so angry and with whom?”

In the next part we discuss impacts of anger on our lives. In Suresh’s words, “Anger is a KILL JOY of sorts. When you allow anger to fester for too long, it is difficult to find happiness. You tend to ignore the positives in life, and focus excessively on what is wrong and out of order.”

The final part of the discussion covers a simple 2-pronged framework – “Recognize (Notice and Take stock) and Handle (RegulateFigure out and Move on)”, that you can apply easily and channel your anger for better outcomes in life.

Suresh and myself eagerly look forward to your comments, personal experiences and suggestions.

Stay well and stay inspired!
