Ways to Manage Anger with Mindfulness:
1. Pause and Breathe
2. Notice Where Anger Lives in the Body
3. Picture the Mountain
Meditation won’t make anger disappear — it’s part of being human. But it can give us a little more awareness and a little more choice.

Just breathe. In the moment, this can help your conversation switch gears. Over time, this changes the brain to make you more thoughtful, less reactive, and more resilient!

This is the meditation I turned to recently after I snapped, said things I regret, and felt my anger getting out of control. It helped me pause, reset, and return with more calm.

Did you know that meditation grows the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory (the hippocampus), which helps protect against cognitive decline and memory loss as we age? It's true! Yay science!

But you get so much in return!
Research suggests that compassion, both towards others and oneself, can lead to increased happiness and well-being. Practicing compassion can reduce stress, improve mental health, strengthen social connections, and even enhance physical health.

Meditation hasn’t fixed everything, but it’s helped with a lot:
🌀 I sleep better
🌀 Less anxiety
🌀 I interrupt people way less
🌀 I’m not overwhelmed 24/7
🌀 Hot flashes are down
That’s real.
