How to control / fight anger?

Anger expressed suitably, is emotional healthy. However, many people manage the anger suppressing it too much or expressing it in a hostile manner.

If a person grows up in a family where it was NOT GOOD feeling angry or used to control other members thereof, any sign of aggression is possible due to distresses.

Once anger is generated, and not expressed in a constructive manner then it is difficult. This is dangerous, can lead to health problems such as headaches, hypertension, problems gastrointestinal, anxiety or depression.

Expressed in a firm but not aggressively, is the healthiest way to handle anger.

Therefore, the goal is to learn to express clearly and directly the concerns and needs without hurting others or trying to instill fear about them. The uncontrollable anger is a behaviour learned that needs to be changed.

The following tips may help:
1.      Stay calm
Although it sounds simplistic, count to ten and leave the room helps to restore peace.
2.      Take a breath
Breathe deeply and rhythmically while you relax your muscles, visualizing a pleasant scene.
3.      Positive attitude
Repeat words that soothe you. Phrases repeated positive notes for your-self such as "Stay calm," "I'm angry, but what! I can control," or "I should not let this bother me."
4.      Aerobic exercises
Walking or biking. Play any sport that allows you to release stored energy. 
5.      Good mood
Use the mood to relieve stress. Think of a story or a fun joke. Imagine yourself or the person you're upset of, in a situation funny.
6.      Express
Talk to a friend, family member or person close, even with your doctor or therapist to let off steam. Say "I am angry" or "I'm so mad I could ..." will allow you to reduce your frustration.
7.      Forgiveness
Recognize that it is unrealistic to expect everyone to behave the way you want it. If you find something offensive, learn to forgive whoever did.

Don’t forget that expressing anger in an explosive manner is one end of the spectrum. The reactions and blame others, will backfire if you want to find a solution to any problem.

For many activities you don’t need to invest in equipment, just a pair of comfortable shoes for walking would do the job. For other sports, keep in mind that in some communities depends on our enjoyment, some modern resident’s have great access to indoor sports facilities. And for the others GYM is always a great place, generally you may get the access for free or at a very modest sum.

Natural Remedies to prevent Headache or Migraines


Blurred vision, sinus pressure and hypersensitivity to light are symptoms that can accompany headaches. Most of these problems are caused by stress. This causes muscle spasms in the head, neck, scalp and shoulders, which can interfere with circulation in the head.

The feelings of aggression, anxiety, anger, depression, fear, guilt, humiliation, anger and rejection can cause or contribute to tension headache, especially when such feelings are repressed. Often the headache increased irritability and leads to insomnia.

Headaches are associated with numerous health problems including anemia, arthritis, brain disorders, candidacies, constipation, digestive disorders, eyestrain, fatigue, hypertension, head injury, hypotension blood, hypoglycemia, nutritional imbalances, PMS, poor circulation, poor posture, sinusitis, spinal misalignment, stress, sun exposure, and the sufferings of eyes, nose and throat.

15 ml of base oil
12 drops of peppermint oil

1 table spoon of fish oil OR fish oil oral supplements
1 glass of orange juice

Recommendations

Because headache can be a symptom of a hidden disease, if you have pain or unusually frequent severe headaches, it is always better to consult a professional health care to rule out this possibility.

However, in most cases, the headache, either migraine or tension indicates that your body needs to rest and slow down or stop what you are doing at that moment. Analgesics relieve pain, but do not eliminate the cause of the condition; it may even mask the fact that your body is crying out changes in behavior or lifestyle.
Given that the decreased level of blood sugar may cause headaches, make sure to eat nutritious food regularly.

On the other side it is highly recommended to consult a nutritionist who could provide valuable dietary advice and understand the possible vitamin deficiencies. Eat preferably complex carbohydrates, such as fresh vegetables and whole grains, and eliminate alcohol, caffeine, dairy products (especially cheese), chocolate, and processed meats products, like any other food that it is suspected of causing headaches. Reduce exposure to cigarette smoke, cleaning products, paints and other chemicals, as well as any synthetic fragrance or perfume.

After several weeks, if you discover that your pain has decreased, can-gradually reintroduce one at a time-these forbidden foods into your diet.

In the event that the headaches occur again, then you will know which or which foods will cause the disease in question. If your headaches or migraines occur when hungry, or when you have not eaten for a certain period, you should probably consult a doctor to rule out the possibility of hypoglycemia. In the case of confirmed diagnosis you should consume a number of frugal meals throughout the day in order to stabilize the level of blood sugar.

Visualization and yoga are therapeutic methods that are effective for many people, especially for migraine sufferers.
