Got Anger Issues? Use These 3 New Cool Down Techniques

Is Anger Ruining Your Life?

Anger can wreak havoc on your life the longer you let it get worse.

It will hold you back professionally because of your lack of patience. It’ll also make people not want to be around you, especially women.

Extreme anger issues can even put you at a 19% higher risk of developing heart-related issues later in life.

And if your anger is starting to get out of control, you probably need some better solutions than singing “I feel pretty” until you feel better.

So what can you do?

Most guys have tried the typical solutions like physical activities to “burn off” the anger, but they usually find that it doesn’t really fix the root cause.

Boxing, yoga, or running might give you a temporary fix, but no one wants to go for a jog every time they’re angry.

So here are 3 new and innovative ways that guys are using to control their anger.

1.) Leverage Technology To Stop Anger

VR is becoming an increasingly popular solution for people dealing with anger issues.

Games like DEEP combine meditative deep breathing techniques with a calming virtual atmosphere to teach you how to relax and calm your temper.

You can also play games like Blade And Sorcery to take out any anger by bashing some NPC skulls or blasting fire into someone’s face.

But there are also fully immersive therapy sessions being developed now that are specifically designed for anger management.

They actually present anger triggers to the individual and allow them to experiment with different coping mechanisms safely.

By gamifying the anger management experience, you can reduce your anger in a more enjoyable way that also helps track results and progress.

Just stay away from Call Of Duty or Elden Ring, those games tend to result in controllers being thrown through screens.

2.) Bushcrafting Builds Patience

Any kind of outdoor camping, hiking, or survival practice will teach you serious anger management skills.

It will also act as an escape and quiet place to deal with anger, away from stressors like work or drama.

Survival situations demand mindfulness and focus on the present moment.

Whether it's building a shelter, sourcing water, or creating fire from scratch, each task requires undivided attention, pushing away external stressors and sources of anger.

However one of the best ways to deal with anger is with bushcrafting.

Bushcrafting is the art of building shelter and resources out of nothing but nature.

It requires absolute patience and a calm mind to gather materials, build the shelter, and complete all of the work.

It will also occupy your mind, exert you physically, and give you a sense of accomplishment.

Try learning some basic bushcraft skills and spend some time camping and working with nature. It’s a great way to develop patience while away from the stress of your everyday life.

3.) Find Your Flow State

When you’re in your “flow state”, anger simply doesn’t exist.

Often described as being "in the zone," the flow state is where your mind and body are intensely focused on the task at hand, shutting out all emotions.

In this state, your skills are perfectly matched to the challenges of the task, creating a harmonious balance that leaves no room for anger or frustration.

The flow state will also bring you a profound sense of satisfaction and achievement.

It’s a reminder that your best work, and your deepest moments of joy and creativity, come from a place of calm and focused attention.

This doesn’t mean that challenges or difficult emotions disappear, but in the flow state, they are transformed.

They become obstacles that you gracefully tackle.

The best way to enter a flow state is to do a hobby or activity you love, blast some music, and shut everyone out.

You can also try using binaural beats to trick your mind intro reaching a certain mental state, like relaxation or focus, which will help you access your flow state.
