Breaking Free from the Grip of Anger In this episode of the Influition Podcast, Coach Freddie explores the often-overlooked dangers of anger and how it can negatively impact your health and well-being. Anger, though a natural human emotion, can be physically harmful. When you’re angry, your heart rate and blood pressure spike, putting strain on your cardiovascular system and increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Hormonal surges also trigger a cascade of other health issues—cortisol, adrenaline, digestive problems, immune system disruptions, and yes, even skin problems (and who wants that?). Coach Freddie opens up about his own struggles with anger and shares powerful insights on how anger can be a never-ending loop that harms not only your health but your emotional well-being. He shares real-life examples, like the daily road rage we all experience and the toll it takes, especially when we keep replaying those angry moments in our minds. But there’s hope. In this episode, Freddie offers practical tools and coping mechanisms to help you break free from anger and lead a calmer, more fulfilling life. He walks you through: Shifting Your Mindset: The breakthrough realization that “nobody makes you angry—you choose to respond with anger” can be life-changing. By embracing this, you can start taking control of your emotions, especially in stressful situations like traffic. Downregulating Your Emotions: Coach Freddie suggests learning from our furry friends (yes, dogs and their adorable post-fight shakes) to let go of anger and regulate your emotional state. He also talks about how simple practices like mindfulness, breath work, and exercise can help you release that built-up tension. Setting Healthy Boundaries with Your Anger: Understanding triggers, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and leaning on people who can help you gain new perspectives are all vital parts of your anger management toolkit. Taking Care of Yourself: Never underestimate the power of good sleep, self-care, and nourishing your mind and body. When you feel secure and rested, anger becomes much easier to manage. Coach Freddie wraps up by inviting you to connect with him and use the tools he’s shared to start changing your relationship with anger today. Takeaways: Mindset shifts: You choose your response to anger. Practice mindfulness, breathwork, and regular exercise. Seek professional help if needed, or talk to someone who can help you process your feelings. Prioritize self-care and ensure you’re meeting your own needs. Remember, you have the power to control your emotions and choose peace over anger.
