    ANGER MANAGEMENT, STRESS REDUCTION, AND ZEN

    Have you ever met a very healthy angry person? Years ago, people were lumped into two categories: Type A and Type B. Type A personalities were people who were aggressive and sometimes quite angry in their pursuits while Type B personalities were much more passive and content with life in general. Although these categories aren’t referred to as much anymore, there was a valid point made by these groupings. People who fell into the category of being Type A personalities often achieved plenty because of their go-getter nature, but these were also the same people who keeled over with heart attacks at young ages because of the constant stress they put their minds and bodies through. The nature versus nurture debate argued whether the type of personality people have is something that they own genetically and can’t alter, or if instead is something that is formed over the years and can be changed with concerted effort. The fact of the matter is that people can indeed change…you may not be able to completely overhaul your personality but there are certainly things that you can do that will allow you to be a little less angry (even if being angry is how you have always been). The operative words are concerted effort. You probably can’t just wake up one day and decide that you are going to flip a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn from how you have always been. Instead, you will need to figure out what it is you want to change about your personality and then set about changing it. How do you decide what needs to be changed? The answer is quite simple really; figure out what personality traits you have that are detrimental to your well-being. If you stomp around in a fury all the time then you probably have physical and emotional consequences that you have to deal with in addition to problems in your relationships. Conversely, if you squeak along in a meek and apologetic way then you probably have consequences to deal with as well. If you are too angry all the time then look into an anger management course. If you are too passive then look into assertiveness training. If you are too emotional then there are programs designed to assist you in not taking everything so much to heart, and there is sensitivity training for people who really need to work on showing their emotions more effectively. Whatever your issue, there is a program designed to help you conquer the problem and live a healthier life. If you need motivation to do one of these programs then just remember that your physical body is affected by your emotional demeanor. Getting healthier has as much to do with your emotional health as it does with your physical health. You can’t ignore one and only work on the other.

    You can reduce your stress in different ways. The great thing about learning how to reduce your stress is that there are countless ways to do it. That means that if you try a method like deep breathing or visualization and find that it just doesn’t work for you then you can rest assured that there are plenty of other methods to try. Once you find the method that works for you then make sure you use it when you need it. If you have a problem with getting anxious in social situations but find that singing a certain song as a calming trigger helps you immensely then don’t toss this method aside just because you feel silly about relying on a song to keep you calm. As long as your method works then it shouldn’t seem silly…it should feel like a God-send. Don’t lose hope if you can’t find an effective method to help your particular situation right off the bat; some people simply need to try several methods before they are able to find something that works well for them. Just know that there are plenty of very smart people in the world who are paid very well just to figure out ways that other people like you can function well in the world. Any stroll through the self-help section of a bookstore will prove to you that there is no shortage of methods to help people reduce stress. It may be that you don’t necessarily need some magical method but you simply need to drop some of the obligations that you deal with throughout your day. If you’re already a busy person then don’t feel bullied into volunteering for some huge project that won’t better your life whatsoever. If you need motivation to say no to tasks that people try to saddle you with then try to remember that stress has a physiological affect on you as well as a psychological effect, so if you have any hope of living a healthier lifestyle then you need to make a move to reduce the amount of stress that you deal with on a daily basis in your life.

    Have a little faith. Research shows that people who regularly attend some place of worship and who live a spiritual lifestyle can be healthier and live longer than their societal counterparts who do not engage in worship activities. Whether these people live healthier lives because they are following the rules set forth by their place of worship or if it is because they are more at peace than other people as a result of their faith, you should know that actively engaging in some form of worship is generally considered to be one way to live a healthier and more satisfying life. This is certainly not to say that people who do not engage in some form of worship live empty lives, but if you have an interest in some form of spiritualism then now is the time to hop in and see if a certain place of worship is a good fit for your beliefs. Not only can you increase your socialization exponentially but you may be able to find more peace in your daily existence depending upon what place of worship you choose to attend. Although it probably goes without saying, it will still be said: avoid any place of worship that encourages you to engage in activities which are detrimental to your health. Yes, being actively involved in worshipping is generally considered to be good for your overall health, but if the place of worship you choose is a place where they whip out venomous snakes when the time comes to worship then you’re heading toward trouble.
