What we’re going to be taking a look at in the next few minutes is a simple technique for calming oneself. There are many instances in life where we wish we could get a better hold on what we are doing or saying. Hell, there are also instances where we failed miserably with this task and ended up regretting the outcome we created. You know what I’m talking about here. I’ll bet you can think back on a recent time this has happened in your life. We’re going to contemplate some of these instances. We’re going to discuss a less conventional way of dealing with these issues.

Have you ever had an experience where you felt like you had no control of a situation? Have you ever just overreacted in that situation due to your feeling helpless? This can be confirmed by the words of the other person or people involved letting you know how unreasonable you were. We all have; we’re all human. Don’t feel bad. I don’t mean that you should not feel a little disappointed with yourself. I just mean that, like all things in life, take it as a learning experience. This is how we grow as people.

I’ve come up with some weird but very effective ways to deal with my moments of seemingly uncontrollable rage. I remember a time when a friend seemed to be taking advantage of my valuable time over what seemed to me to be a very unimportant request of assistance. After a while of answering and re-answering and re-answering some more of the same questions, I began to get very snappy with my friend. Keep in mind this is a guy I have known for many years now. I won’t use his name here because he reads some of my articles. {I am a kind guy most of the time ;-) } In this situation I asked him if I could return in a few minutes because there was a phone call that I had to make. Being an understanding person, he accepted without hesitation my request for this ‘phone’ time. In truth what I really did was go and calm myself down. I rode about a mile away from where my friend lived and found a location where I could not be seen in my car. I rolled up all my windows. Then I let out a blood-curdling SCREAM.

The best way to use this method of calming oneself down is to first get in an area where you won’t be disturbed or questioned as to what you are doing. (This can be quite weird and embarrassing the first few times you do this. It’s just like other things in life; it takes a little time before you get comfortable inside your own skin so to speak.) Then clench, or close, your fists and close your eyes. Now what you want to do at this point is feel the energy transfers happening inside your head. You’ll feel it; don’t worry. After you’ve felt it for a minute or two, while still keeping your fists clenched and your eyes closed; squeeze your fists and tighten your chest and bicep muscles so as to cause a light shake/tremor in these areas. While you are doing this, you are going to let out a scream. As I said before, this will be weird for a couple of reasons. First, this is new to you. Second, your ‘scream’ won’t really be a scream at all but more a yelp of sorts. You’ll see what I mean when you calm yourself next with this technique.

This method works for a few reasons to calm you down. First, your focus is redirected inside instead of on the external factors working against your calm state of mind. Second, there is a sensation of coming down. What I mean by this is that the body has reached a sort of maximum capacity for anger and rage which leaves you feeling calm and collected in regards to your emotions. In addition, a more conscious part of your psyche comes to realize that you may have been in a state of overreaction over the situation.

I had a friend try this method not long ago when a co-worker made him extremely angry because of something said. When he called me to help him calm down, what was said made me feel a little of his anger. He first laughed and called the method ‘hokey’. I explained it in more detail to him. He called me back about 20 minutes later telling me how much he appreciated my help with the issue. He said he went back inside and talked with the co-worker who later became a good friend to him.

In this article, we have looked at a simple way to calm down when necessary. This method can be used also without making a sound. We discussed the “SCREAM” method as I like to affectionately call it. We described the steps needed to go from anger and rage to calm and tranquility using this method.

P.S. For those of you who are serious about getting your anger under control and decrease this major stress causer, I recently discovered a very inexpensive program from Richard MacKenzie. Richard Mackenzie will show you how to gain back control through your own efforts. Now, I invite you to start gaining control by simply clicking Below.
