What should you do when have so hatred in side you?

Answer 1

Hatred requires a great deal of energy towards something so negative and draining. It is most often that the 'hatred' one feels is lost on its intended.

Without even addressing Biblical perspectives, the term 'turn the other cheek' has a great deal of validation in situations such as these. In reality, the phrase is often misunderstood. It is not to suggest that you place yourself in a vulnerable position again, so as to allow events to repeat themselves. Instead, it suggests that you're turning your face anew - saying I will not permit your deeds or negativities to influence the positive flows of my life, nor that of people whom I care about.

If you find yourself caught in a vicious circle, try writing on a piece of paper all that has angered you. Write whatever vicious thoughts about the events or person you can.

Once done, take that piece of paper and rip it to shreds, saying aloud 'I release you and I embrace the peace I've found in doing so. '

The word hatred also is reference to your emotions. It may be that your emotion is so high that you're challenged to effectively reason or rationalise with yourself. With a little practice, there is a simple way to control this, especially when amidst an exceptionally emotional moment, where you're in serious need of calming down.

Our brains function compartmentally. The left side of the brain is where it processes matters of logic, reasoning, mathematics, learning and rationality. The right side of the brain is responsible for our emotions, arts, love, and indeed hate, (an emotion). Therefore, when you find yourself becoming overwhelmed by an emotion, such as: being in a heated argument, distraught for some reason, or even finding yourself taking risks involving 'feelings of the heart,' try this simple exercise.

To activate your affective reasoning, or "rational" side of your brain, try directing your eyes downwards and as far to the left as you can for 30-60 seconds. You may find that your emotions begin to dissipate and you become calmer and more capable (or rational) in dealing with your situation with far less emotion.

Continue to practice this exercise throughout your day and you may find yourself being able to apply this throughout your day.
