The Dangers of Anger | by Jay Shetty

Anger leads to irrational decisions - decisions we are more likely to regret later. In this video, Jay Shetty shows viewers how to avoid making decisions when angry by centering themselves and bringing the body and mind back into alignment with the present. If you don’t force through the anger, it will force through you.

First, never make a decision when you’re angry or sad. This is important in ANY scenario. When you’re angry or sad, your mind plays tricks on you and forces you to make irrational decisions you don’t normally believe in.

Instead, Jay Shetty recommends practicing a simple mindfulness exercise. Close your eyes and think of five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This helps bring the mind back to the present.

Now take a moment to align your body with your mind by using a breathing exercise. Breathe in for four counts, then breathe out for four counts.
