This comprehensive meta-analysis, involving over 10,000 participants, reveals that venting actually exacerbates aggression and worsens situations. Instead, it suggests that activities which lower arousal levels are more effective in anger management. Contrary to common beliefs, physical exertions like running may not help due to increased heart rates fueling anger. Techniques such as slow flow yoga, mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, and taking a time out are recommended for effectively reducing arousal...2024-05-0910 minFilled with His Love(Bonus) The Power of Gratitude!Send us a textThis is a brief message to encourage you to watch President Russell M.
