Do not meet anger with anger
Assertiveness is a skill taught by many personal development experts and psychotherapists and the subject of many popular self-help books. It is linked to self-esteem and considered an important communication skill. It is the middle road between anger and submissiveness. Assertive people are less likely to become ill; suppress too much anger and the emotion will solidify in the form of gallstones. Anger stagnates the liver energy and our blood may become more toxic because of it with all its related problems. Being assertive is stating your point clearly without any drama or emotion attached to it. The message becomes much louder and easier to understand to the other party and clear communication takes place. Take responsibility for your feelings: avoid blaming the other person for your anger. ‘You made me angry’ is saying that the other person has control over your emotions and you haven’t. Ultimately, you have allowed yourself to feel it. Would it not be much more harmonious not to have to react with anger. Try and find that equilibrium within. If anger is directed at you, most times, it is the other persons fear or loss of control around an issue and maybe we should try and help them with that.
