I want to learn about meditation
I'm considering it for Sanguis

Give me anger-management ideas if you have any
Something that isn't punching people

Thanks.

Have you tried yoga?

[saezuru]

No

How do I start

[prodigalmess]

I wonder if there are any classes at the gym.

Alternatively, if you still want to punch things, you could punch a bag at the gym instead of punching a person.

[saezuru]

I've been to the gym. I didn't look for classes, though

I'll check next time

A punching bag might still be bad. I don't want to get angrier

[prodigalmess]

You think? It won't work your aggression out of you? Have you tried it before?

[saezuru]

It isn't only there during Sanguis

Sanguis just makes it worse

[prodigalmess]

Maybe try the yoga then. It takes a little while to get the hang of, especially incorporating the breathing with the poses.

[saezuru]

I'll try.

[prodigalmess]

That's all you really can do. If you hate it, you don't have to keep doing it.

[saezuru]

Does it actually work?

[prodigalmess]

My issue is anxiety, not anger management, so I can't speak to that specifically, but it has helped my anxiety a bit. Mindfulness is shown to help with anger as well.

[saezuru]

I'll keep it in mind.

Good luck. If there's any way I can help, let me know.
