Anger Management and Develop Positive Habits - Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
Anger management is an important life skill. It's also helpful to know how it can be practiced using NLP and CBT therapies, which are two popular approaches for dealing with anger in people who experience bouts of angry outbursts on occasion or regularly.
What is NLP?
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that involves analyzing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to specific outcomes.
Proponents of NLP assume all human action is positive. Therefore, if a plan fails or the unexpected happens, the experience can be seen as an opportunity to learn. This approach can be useful in achieving goals and managing stress and anger.
For example, let's say you want to quit smoking. You may start by thinking about all the reasons why smoking is bad for your health. This would be the "neuro" part of NLP. Then you would come up with a plan to avoid cigarettes, which would be the "linguistic" part. Finally, you would put your plan into action and make a concerted effort to stick to it, which would be the "programming" part.
Of course, this is just a simple example. But the principle of NLP can be applied to any goal, no matter how big or small. So, if you're looking to make some changes in your life, it might be worth giving NLP a try.
