Anger comes from the Latin word, angere, which means "to strangle." Anger strangles us on a number of different levels. It is the emotion which is probably the most familiar to the majority of us. A consistent finding in those who have low self-esteem, migraines, ulcers, heart attacks, substance abuse problems, troubled work and interpersonal relationships and frequent job loss is that they are unable to master their anger. Rather than controlling their anger, their anger controls them.

If you find that you are getting exactly what you don’t want or if you find that you are not getting what you want then there’s a very good chance that you’re simply sending out the wrong energy.

Anger can be like an addiction in that people are very creative in finding all sorts of rationales for their anger and why they don’t need anger management. At times it can almost appear as if they are in denial about their anger management issues. Part of the reason for this is that the way our behavior looks to us on the inside can look a whole lot different to someone on the receiving end of things.

One of the most important people to use anger management techniques with is that person in your life that you struggle getting along with that you warmly refer to as your boss. You're tired. You're discouraged. You're dejected. You're unmotivated. You may feel that your boss is intimidating, meddling, scheming or hard to please. If you’ve got a really bad boss s/he may take credit for your work, never give you any positive feedback and disrespect your time by not showing up for meetings with you or dumping a job in your lap at the end of the day that needs to be done right now.

We all have them: the obnoxious siblings, the drama queen mother, the trouble-maker cousin, the gossip monger, know-it-alls, rude, selfish, and even mean-spirited family members. We try to avoid them yet fate often intervenes and brings us face-to-face with our nemesis. We dread family gatherings and holidays are preceded by weeks of anxiety and fabricated excuses for absenteeism. "I like my friends much better. You can choose them and if they get on your nerves you just cancel your subscription. I don't have to put up with their nonsense. But you're stuck with relatives forever!"

During a recent releasing call, a woman brought up an important issue of her ego being awake and that it was bringing up a lot of negativity. She mentioned she had called the Helpline although still needed additional support. Good for this woman’s persistence to keep working through the matter by choosing to release.

Think about an Attachment and we may experience a nice warm-fuzzy feeling. We are of course attached to our family, our homes, our relationships, money, our beautiful stuff, and so forth. Think about an Aversion and what happens – instantly we are facing some resistance. If you are paying attention you’ll instantly notice a clutch indicating that there is something needing our attention. Larry Crane and the staff refer to “the clutch” as a pocket of negativity, ringing like a doorbell to get our attention.

If we took a moment and asked ourselves, “What’s stopping me from being successful?” we might get an answer such as “I don’t know.” Well that response doesn’t really help us to understand what is blocking us from having success or being successful. In truth, most of us don’t really know what’s stopping us from being successful. Actually what typically stops most people from being successful includes excuses or limiting beliefs…, wanting to change something…, and holding onto fear or resistance.

Most people ruin their lives by making excuses all the time. And, they don't see they're doing it. Making excuses is coming from a very weak place. Making excuses is weakness.

A young man once said, "In the game of life, you should always have a few good excuses ready. He was taking a crack at humor but he also was making a point.r

In recent years, a steady rise in the number of robbery cases among teenagers has been documented. There has been a wide array of reported reasons why teens decide to steal, but surprisingly, most of them will initially say that boredom pushes them to do it.

Happiness comes from a quiet mind. I wonder how many are still with me after reading that. Many will bail out. The world isn’t interested in a quiet mind. The world is interested in a noisy, agitated, worked-up mind. Is it any surprise most people in the world aren’t happy? Is it any surprise most people in the world are sick, miserable and suffering? Not to mention living in a state of lack?r

Anger is what we all see. When someone is angry, it is obvious by the look in the person's eyes, the clinched fists, sweat on the brow, and loud voice... Upon closer inspection, anger is like an iceberg. The tip represents the anger, which everyone sees. However, there is 90% more of that iceberg hidden below the surface of the water. This tip of the iceberg is actually the symptom. The more complex feelings responsible for this symptomatic anger varies widely from person to person.

Do you feel ashamed when you lash out at the people you love the most? Do you wish you could erase it for ever and be free of this beastly emotion?

We don’t like to think of ourselves as uncontrolled and irrational.

“It’s only fair when I yell at you, she said to me once. You had a better Childhood.” Brian Andreas Consider the last time you felt angry. What set you off? Traffic. Stress at work. Long waiting lines. High phone bill. The mess at home. Computer problems. He was drunk. Again. She didn’t call. No one would help. They never listen. Sound familiar? By repeatedly blaming, venting and justifying your anger, you remain stuck in a pattern of angry thoughts or behavior. Complaints a

Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads would come our way as we jou ey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.

We all encounter angry people in every walk of life. Some will confront them, others avoid them like the plague. There are times when either approach is acceptable. I do not like drama. However, I am conce ed about others when they appear upset. And I am very knowledgeable as to how to help them. After all, I've been doing this professionally for twenty years.

“Rethinking possible” begins with a winning attitude. If we don’t think something is possible, we get to be right; each and every time. If we have a doubt, it is magnified in our ego and becomes what we are focusing our attention on. And this doubt will be what we create. Ever had a toothache… No matter what you were doing, your attention kept going back to the issue with the tooth. Well by our releasing, we now know that we can focus on the solution or resolution to any situation.

If you feel angry, you have two ordinary alternatives. You can suppress anger or you can express it, right? If the situation allows, you express anger. And if the situation doesn’t allow, you suppress anger. Either you are forcing the energy of anger outwards to the person insulting you or you are forcing the energy inside. The ordinary advice “Don’t be angry” works only theoretically. It doesn’t work at all in your everyday life. How not to be angry? Anger starts a

Each of us has an intention for everything we do right now. We can look around us, see what we have and we can see what our intention has been.

Road rage nearly causes Garret a heart attack Just as he was about to turn right and head for home, a driver on his left zoomed in front of 35 year old Garret’s car and raced through the traffic lights. One moment he was smiling at the thought of telling his wife about his big sales deal, and the next he was stomping on the brakes to avoid a head on collision. He swore and cursed and made faces. He hit his steering wheel and shook his fists in the air. Road rage overcame him, sent his blood pressure sky high and stress hormones coursing through his blood stream.

People often tell me, "My problem is that I'm just too nice! That's why I get hurt a lot." But what they perceive as a case of terminal politeness, I see as an issue of passive behavior. Don't misunderstand: most of these people truly are nice. But those who are yes people, who don' t disagree for fear of upsetting the other party, the keep-the-peace-at-all-costs people are not acting out from a place of virtue. They are, in fact, dealing with issues of fear and insecurity. Do any of the following behaviors apply to you:

"Pins and needles, needles and pins; it's a happy man that grins." These classic words were made famous by Jackie Gleason in his role as Ralph Kramden in the 1950s TV sitcom, The Honeymooners. So why in the world was America's favorite bus driver so intent on repeating this phrase whenever he was on the verge of losing his temper?

Patsy swallows her feelings and gets tired out Patsy spent her forty-fifth birthday with her elderly mother who complained about the food being cold and bland. Patsy bit her tongue and tried to make something more appetizing. Her sister called to wish her a happy birthday, then made excuses as to why she couldn’t take care of their mother next weekend. Patsy was outraged that she was expected to be the dutiful child while her siblings got away with it. She ground her teeth, stuffed the indignation and continued with her chores.

Coming from the perspective of positive psychology, I am admittedly biased towards the inherent power of emotion. Emotions are among the top reasons for failed attempts to improve corporate productivity and culture. Fear: Fear and anxiety paralyze change initiatives. Anger: Culture changes are sabotaged due to intense resentment and long-held grudges. Failed projects begin to pile up due to residual anger and back-stabbing between executives. Sadness: Resignation and hopelessness stall attempts to improve productivity, sales, and ongoing improvement.

I recently saw a banner — set in place for Recovery Month — that read: “Recovery Happens.” My question is: “What is implied here?” Words have meaning, and when those words are demonstrative of a process to behavioral change, people either simply disregard, are motivated by, or are intimidated by what they perceive and think about the process. For this, I call for a Matter of Perspective. Matter of Perspective: My Perspectiver

When most people think of DIY, they conjure up projects that are either crafty or perhaps an outlet for personal talents. Most people really don’t usually consider self-improvement as a DIY project. And realistically, that’s exactly what self-improvement is all about. When we look at situations within our lives and decide we would like to make improvements within some of these areas, we often look to many different sources.

Happiness exists in everyone. Happiness and love are your natural state of being. All the happiness that you can possibly imagine exists within your very Self being right in this moment. This is good news! The happiness that we are seeking is right where we are says Lester Levenson, founder of the Release® Technique method. We may mistakenly believe that happiness comes to us via people, places, or in things. These beliefs cause us to look for happiness where it isn’t.

Conflict and fighting are not synonymous. Although they very often go hand-in-hand, disagreements need not end up as arguments, fights, or physical altercations. A conflict is simply two forces in opposition: a husband and wife disagree on where to spend their vacation; you support the Republican party, your friend is a staunch Democrat; best friends listen to radically different music. Conflict can actually be a very positive force in our lives as it introduces us to new ideas, new possibilities, and the opportunity to learn and expand our world.

Many people have had the experience of anger that goes out of control. What mechanisms are at work when anger turns to blinding rage? Researchers have termed this kind of response as reactive aggression and discovered that when one is engulfed in a rage reaction, the thinking part of the brain is not functioning well (Tyson, 1998). When a person experiences a reaction to what they perceive to be a frustration or a threat, the body prepares for action, not thought.

It’s that time of year again. It’s time to size up your last year, and take a look at the prospects for your New Year. What do you want your New Year to look like?

We’ve all proven that to ourselves.

April Fools' Day is a day marked by the carrying out of practical jokes of varying degree on friends, enemies, colleagues, and neighbors.

There are many sides to the issue of credit. This can be a huge conce for some, as the ego has a tendency to want to take credit for everything and then moves us into feeling guilty. This cycle is known as the “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda” syndrome. If we are avoiding accepting credit it is an indication that we aren’t confident in our abilities. Some may interpret that by accepting credit that it is an indication that something is owed. And yet when we discard or reject receiving recognition for a job well-done, it’s only because we are in fear.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I really need to let this go…” and yet continued to hold onto the mind chatter. Perhaps continuing to complain, blame, or possibly wonder what to do about a situation that happened sometime in the past. By acting in this manner, you are preventing yourself from moving forward. Maybe you are still trying to change what was said or unsaid. Maybe on some level you are wishing things could be still be different. Perhaps if you are still angry or disappointed about what occurred.

Is anger management just a bunch of hot air? It's often hard to tell what is really effective these days and what is just a bunch of "advice" that is simply based on opinion. Anger management class techniques can vary greatly from provider to provider, so it's important to determine what is really going to be effective before you spend the time and energy trying to learn something new to better manage and control your anger. Here is a quick list of some of the most trusted and proven interventions for better managing anger:

"The other night I ate at a real family restaurant. Every table had an argument going." n nOne of the biggest obstacles to personal and career success is anger. When we fail to control our anger, we suffer several blows:nn- Anger impedes our ability to be happy, because anger and happiness are incompatible.n- Anger sends marriages and other family relationships off-course.n- Anger means lost business, because it destroys relationships.n- Anger also means losing business that

I’m Larry Crane. Here’s a question I’m hearing over and over from my subscribers…it seems to be on everyone’s lips. The question goes something like this: “I’ve heard of something called “letting go” as the secret behind The Secret. Can you tell me what “letting go” means and how it can help me attract abundant money into my life?” That’s a great question. It’s an extremely important one, too.

Go ahead, admit it. You like to look at what’s wrong, don’t you? It’s okay. Admit it. Self honesty is a good thing and helps you get on track. Actually, it’s not you that likes to look at what’s wrong. It’s your mind that likes to look at what’s wrong and you’re unconsciously going along with that mind of yours. You don’t see it happening because you’re living unconscious to what your mind is telling you to do. You’re living on automatic, meaning you react automatically to whatever happens.

Have you ever lashed out at someone for no real reason – but just because you were having a bad day? I know most of us have had those moments where something trivial or meaningless just sets us off. Unfortunately when you let anger take over you actually end up 1.) knocking yourself back a few feet; 2.) pushing yourself further away from achieving your goals; and 3.) making it even more difficult to allow your life to become successful What do I mean?

Here are words from Lester Levenson from the recording Willpower, Part A. “Whether you are aware of it or not, you are creating matter all the time. Whether you want to be a creator or not you are.” “Nothing comes into your experience unless you had a thought of it at some time prior.” “Everything you see, everything you look at is an out-picturing of your mind.” “All your thoughts materialize unless you neutralize them and think the opposite immediately after you have the thought.”

People with drug and alcohol related problems would need to attend substance abuse awareness classes. Courses either have been mandated by the court system after the individual has ended up with a citation, or they are perfect for the education and recovery of those struggling with addictions. Some people enjoy the format that Alcoholics Anonymous presents, while others would like a private experience. For those that would like anonymity, like teachers, parents, teens or high-profile professionals, online courses are extremely beneficial.

Perhaps you’ll agree that absolutely nothing about stress feels good. Stress is basically feelings based on insecurities of not knowing what to do about any particular situation. Stress feels angry, confusing, and sad. Stress also feels anxious, irritating, depressed, and fearful. Sometimes these feelings are felt at the same time making it difficult to concentrate. The amount of stress that we create for ourselves is at times overwhelming. Although it is easy to take a walk and immediately begin to feel better; out of habit, we find it easier to pout, mope, and complain.

Personality disorders can be difficult to handle and very dangerous. A person suffering from a personality disorder will tend to have strange or unusual behavior. This behavior might be manifested by poor or inaccurate response, lack of insight, causing trouble for and disturbing people around them and so on. Often people with such disorders are difficult to trust and maintain a relationship with. Family members or loved ones often have to identify the problem for the person because they are unaware of it. Therapy and sometimes medication is mandatory for recovery.

Mastering anger management requires you to learn how to control your emotions. To do this, you will need to develop an attitude toward life that allows you to think first, and then act or speak later. Your inability to control your anger may lead to the erosion or even the destruction of the most meaningful relationships in your life; it can also cause physical and emotional damage to you and the people around you. The Truth About Anger There's actually an important purpose f

What a terrific way to start the day! There is nothing passive about this statement. It is bold, to the point, and includes a specific timeframe. Actually this phrase sounds like an intention. Let’s face it, the only way we can achieve success or anything else is by making a decision. Deciding to achieve success and being successful is better than playing the basic game of philosophy by asking ourselves the questions of “Who, what, why …? When, where, and how…?” over and over again and each time coming up without an answer.

I am so upset. I’m so upset, I can’t tell you. Common refrain, isn’t it? Getting upset. Whoever gave you that idea? Whatever gave you the idea getting upset helps you somehow? I’ll tell you. You’re a baby. You’re in your crib.

I've spoken many times about the importance of all feelings, anger included. With every emotion we experience, we have the ability to learn much about ourselves. No feeling is inherently wrong. It's how we choose to express and use them that determines their value.
