Release Anger: How to forgive your love ones after an argument

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Today was a complicated day it seem like everyone was out to make me mad. Usually it takes a lot to get me upset but I guess I was already upset with someone so the seed was already there. 

What I learned today is that anger breed anger. When your angry you just attract more things to be angry about. It seems like everyone just wants to get on your nerves. Or so it seems, I realize your perception changes and  you put on your angry colored glasses so all you see is anger.

Below are some helpful tips to release anger after an argument:

1. Relax- Take several deep slow breaths. 
2. Question Yourself- Ask your self what are you really mad about. Sometimes you will be able to see right away how trivial it is
3. Write-  Go to the root of the problem by writing a letter to the person who made you upset. Tell them everything on your mind and leave no rocks unturned, get it all out but don't give it to them either delete it or throw it away
4. Look With in- Mediate just quiet your mind and subdue your thoughts
5. Pray- Ask God to help you release the anger you have for this person and allow you to forgive them.

Lastly, try talking to the person after you cool down in a non combative way. Tell them how they made you feel and allow them to express their feelings. It could have been a big misunderstanding. Once, the conversation is over forgive and move on.

When you are angry you are only hurting yourself. You have the power to release this anger anytime you desire. Look with and find that power once you do forgive and forget. It will make you instantly happy once you feel the release of anger. Always remember you are in control of your feelings
