Workplace & Anger

It is surprising that seldom we think about the words we have spoken or actions which we have initiated, beforehand. ?Often when confronted with situations, we react instantaneously without giving deep thought of its implications. Often we are not tolerant to actions of collogues which are not aligned with own liking, or even words spoken. We react instantaneously without giving thought of its effects, which may last from few minutes to days to months or years or worst cases lifelong. It is quite common to get angry at workplaces, which carries negative vibrations.

Often unpleasant words are directed towards each other, which are more hurtful than physical injuries, as it carries vibrations. It is therefore takes much longer time to get over the associated pain. When we are mean and bad tempered & usually hurt others we are likely to get branded, and we may invite anger from others. Indirectly, our own anger comes back to us which could be hurting & painful. We need energy to control our own anger & need to be brave heart.

When we people are arguing or fighting with us we can choose to retaliate and hurt them back. The other option is to forgive them and stay calm, instate of getting angry & carry grudge against them. Thus we obviate a load of negative energy, thoughts, words & deeds of retaliation. Thus to forgive them helps us physically and mentally. ?When we are caught up in anger, hatred & vengeance we create self-inflicted wound or physical harm to self. It is also detrimental that harmful hormones are released in our body as a result hatred, vengeance & anger. Whereas, we have denied a simple remedy forgiveness. It is the thought of forgiveness which may calm us down & avoid reaction instantaneously. Another dimension of anger is that it makes us react with same intensity as if our lives have been threated, though issues may be minor ones occurring in everyday life. Or we need to rethink what exactly makes us angry ? What is its threatening potential? Is there any real life threatening problems? If not, why should we get worked up so much? With the forgiveness approach, we would also reduce the stress levels at which we live!

It is important that for own calm mind we need to adapt let go attitude. When we can add forget also we are letting go???? of the past & incidences. Some wise person has stated “I forgive the person for what has happened. Then I am going to forget about it” This is the way to let go.
