Who are the people who struggle with anger?
It can be a friend,
A co-worker,
A boss,
A neighbor,
A member of my family,
A stranger,
In fact everyone.
How should I react when someone gets angry?
Dear friends,
Welcome to Simply Yoga with Nathalie.
This channel is for all the Busy Bees of this world who would like to slow down and rediscover
their inner strength.
My name is Nathalie Chaulan and I am a Yogi and a Scientist.
Let's discover together our inner power.
Let's take the example of the anger I feel in a colleague at work for example.
I'm fine,
Everything is fine,
Everything seems to be going well and we're working together.
For some reason I feel the atmosphere is tense.
We work together and I know this person professionally.
Suddenly this person begins to raise his voice,
To get angry,
To disrespect the other
people in the group.
Everyone is silent and no one reacts.
The working atmosphere is tense and the malaise is palpable.
How should I react?
First avoid reacting.
On the stroke of emotion sometimes we tend to respond immediately.
All individuals are already uncomfortable and it is the raw emotions that are likely
to be expressed.
And since there are a lot of emotions involved it might come out wrong and I might not mean
exactly what I said.
Let go for a few minutes and breathe.
Then instead of accusing the other person by saying you're rude or you're unpleasant,
We can first objectively identify what happened.
For example we could say the tone of your voice has grown louder,
Your face turned red,
You hit the table with your fist.
All of these comments are objective and non-judgmental.
These are facts and we're not accusing or judging the person.
Then we can express how we felt.
For example it can be I felt anxious,
Scared and nervous.
I no longer wanted to continue to work.
We can then tell the person what we would like.
If it happens again I will need you to tell us that you're not feeling well or maybe
take a break in order to keep the harmony in the group.
If a person feels welcomed in their discomfort they will often be able to open up and talk
about it more.
This way of speaking with peace and inclusiveness can prevent many situations from escalating.
This will result in a climate of peace and openness to others filled with patience and
harmony.
Let's bring a little more love in our everyday life,
Little by little.
I am Nathalie and I wish you a beautiful inner journey.
