5758 Anger Management
Anyone know of any decent yoga videos or things of that nature to deal with stress/anger?

I need to cut down on anger because I've been grinding my teeth. My dentist recommended yoga as a solution but all the instructed courses I see are a bit fruity which makes it hard to take seriously (I'm a bit of a prick you see). It's odd because most people think I'm incredibly chill but my calm has always been maintained by short sharp bursts of explosive anger at minor annoyances.

I'd recommend Yoga With Adrienne on YouTube. She doesn't go too heavy on the spirituality side of yoga besides ending everything with a deep breath and a "namaste", but keeps it more about the body and even her easy videos are fairly challenging without being offputtingly so. She also does a good job of organising her videos on her YouTube channel into playlists by mood and length, so you can probably find something to start with.

I can vouch for Adrienne too - my partner works out with her every day (though I don't join her despite her urging). As above she doesn't talk about auras or chakras or any other bullshit, just limits it to "feeling good vibes as you stretch" and that sort of stuff, which would probably actually be good for you if you're doing this for anger management.

Aye same lad. Toothgrinding for me is when I'm 'generally' stressed, or more prone to getting worked up. In those terms I think yoga and meditation/breathing exercises will do you a lot of good from the internal side, and external to that you should benefit from setting and achieving 'life goals' or whatever, so you feel generally happier and more in control.

Also Yoga with Adrienne, my partner likes her, she's quite chill.

And maybe a punching bag.

Great shout.

Yoga is great, do try it, but if it doesn't work out I will say just about any form of challenging exercise will help you to relieve stress.

Lifting weights regularly has been a reliable outlet for me for many years. It may seem silly and macho, but it really does help to channel those emotions into controlled action.

COVID-19 probably renders this one impossible, but sauna was also extremely useful for stress relief in my case. Something about pushing the limits of your tolerance really gets all the frustration out. Evidence shows that sauna use might also be good for helping depression, with the caveat that it'll also lower your sperm count.

I don't understand this women. She puts you in a downward dog, like a press-up where you're looking at your cock, but she's also doing actions and changing positions without telling you so you constantly have to crane your neck to look at the screen.

This is madness.

She can definitely go a bit fast sometimes, but she has a few groups of positions and stretches that she likes to cycle together so once you're a few videos in with her you can sort of go along without having to look at the screen.

Sounds like you need some sort of head mount for your phone.

Well the wait of a laptop mounted to your head might be uncomfortable. Even more so for a desktop.

Does stuff like yoga/breathing exercises/meditation etc help with anger when the things that cause your anger are persistent and unresolved? I'm good at tempering my anger and remaning calm, but in effect I feel like it's the emotional equivalent of being sick in your mouth and swallowing it. You're just choking it down and forcing yourself to remain composed, instead of conclusively addressing anything.

I feel like this sort of thing would be similar in that I'm just programming myself to redirect the feeling, and over time it'll drive me loopy because I know the real solution is removing myself from the negative environment- the problem is "negative environment" pretty much means "every aspect of my social life and workplace" these days.

To an extent, you're right, but what you're actually doing with the breathing exercises is making sure the sick never reaches your mouth. You might feel sick, but the exercises help you see that it's coming and deal with it, rather than just vomit randomly over the nearest person.

Well, I recall watching this many years ago.



Iirc, the gist was about anger being at least partly due to incorrect expectations.

For example, you may have an expectation that your colleagues will have a basic level of competence. But as many people have found out, that's not always the case. And if you can't change that, then one has to learn to accept it to some extent.

So I think my point was that anger isn't necessarily some infallible righteous force, with external causes that must be rectified in order to quell the anger - but something that can be lessened by internal things. And maybe yoga etc could help.

What you're describing there is really the backbone of cognitive behavioural therapy. Which works as long as you actually subscribe to it.

And as everybody knows, the only devices it's possible to watch YouTube on in 2021 are a phone and a personal computer.

Well the weight of a smart TV mounted to your head might be uncomfortable.
