How to Manage Anger - Monika Vaishnav

Anger is an emotion which you have towards something or someone. It helps you to express your negativity to some level until it is in controllable situations.  But, sometimes we see people lose their control in anger and do what they never supposed to do. It hurts others as well as to ourselves. Though it doesn't remain for a  long time if we are unable to manage it, it will bring more disturbance, spoil relationships and also take away our peace of mind. Sometimes speaking without thinking can make others also angry. 

It is rightly said that in anger, our mouth works faster than our mind. So, the first thing which we have to keep in our mind is to think before you speak.  Second thing, whenever we are angry we must think about its result before we act. If we will think about the impacts of doing things in anger, it will help us to have patience. Third, we must have a habit of listening to others and self analyzation. 

Fourth, we must develop the patience to handle any situation in life.  Fifth, if you feel extremely angry, leave the place, make yourself busy in something that helps you to get relaxed like singing, painting, drawing, listening to songs, etc. and talk about that thing later in a respectful way. Sixth, we should not talk to whom we are angry with, keep silence for some time or leave the place and when you feel relaxed then only talk to the person and sort out the things. Last and most important thing is forgiveness. We must learn to forgive people, it will automatically make us calm.

War vs Peace

We are reading

War vs peace means disturbances in class vs responses by an educator. It’s generally seen that if an educator doesn’t find the class according to their wish they immediately react. But to maintain peace in class instead of reaction, response is required. For example a small mistake by students like taking name of educator in an uncalled distorted manner can be easily tackled in multiple ways.

One is to have some humour element added to the situation rather than reacting or shouting on the class. Another way is to present case studies to children and asking them to give a response on tackling such situations, such things will sensitise the students for an appropriate behaviour and will also help them to get rid of this habit. Thus way to maintain peace in class should always be in the way so as to make the students understand their mistake and they develop the responsibility of not repeating it. For example, when one of the student struggles to complete his notebook or classwork, the educator has written one whole chapter in his notebook, which encouraged him to write himself the next time.

Thus a short positive motivation can change the student, instead of a harsh punishment. Conclusion war can be maintained in the class if the educators understand the students then students will have a faith in their educators.
