How to control your anger - Juna Mustad

A lot of us do unhealthy things with our anger. We get hijacked by our anger and end up erupting, like when you stub your toe and suddenly you're cursing at the stupid coffee table. 

我们很多人都会在愤怒的驱使下，做一些危险的事情。我们被愤怒绑架，最终情绪大爆发，就好像当你走路踢到脚趾，你就突然谩骂愚蠢的咖啡桌。

When we let anger drive the car we can become aggressive name-calling, blaming or even violent. In essence, it's like you put your four-year-old self in the driver's seat, dangerous. 

当我们带着愤怒的情绪开车时，我们就会变得咄咄逼人，用指责甚至是暴力解决问题。这就好像把四岁的自己放在了驾驶座上，这是很危险的。

So how do we get the adult back in the driver's seat?

那么我们如何让成年理智的自己重返驾驶座呢?

Well, this is where mindfulness comes in, and to quote mindfulness expert Dr.Shauna Shapiro, mindfulness is paying attention with kindness and curiosity.

这就是正念发挥作用的地方，引用正念专家肖娜•夏皮罗博士的话说，正念是带有善良和好奇心的关注。

And the following mindfulness tools are key to growing a healthy relationship with anger: breathe. Let's all take a deep breath right now. 

为了与愤怒和谐相处，接下来的正念工具是至关重要的：呼吸。现在让我们所有人都做一次深呼吸。

Taking deep breaths engages the parasympathetic nervous system and sends signals to our body that soothe the threat response, putting us back into a more relaxed state. 

深呼吸会激活副交感神经系统，并向我们的身体发送信号，缓解威胁应激反应，使我们重回到更为放松的状态。
