It may be more helpful to see that anger comes in many parts that can be broken down and seen as less fearful. There is no avoiding the events that stimulate strong emotions, but rather than looking at THEM as triggers, it helps to see them as "primes." The trigger, then, is the story we tell ourselves about those events. And it is usually a story we aren't aware of telling. See more at my site -- what I provide is a mindful approach to anger and emotional intelligence. Thanks for the post. You are on the right track.

I know that each one of us have a choice as to how to react to a particular situation "You choose how to react". But seldom do we do so in our daily lives when something irks us. I have been trying to be mindful of this fact. And anytime I get annoyed at someone or at situation I try to think that these (my angry feelings) are just my emotion and non-stop chattering in my mind that makes me feel more angry. I feel that thoughts play a vital role or the only role I should perhaps say. We can choose to accept the situation/person as it is or we can choose to let our negative thoughts fuel our anger.

I think it has important applications to parenting and controlling our anger in discipline. Thank you for this excellent exercise.
