Managing emotions, in particular anger, forms an important part of our SEAL Getting On theme. This comment was posted by a parent in response to our calming down statement:
Prophet Muhammad gave this advice:
“When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down.”
This is said because the likelihood of you lashing out, harming anyone and getting out of control is very difficult whilst sat down and almost impossible whilst lying down.
Thank you for this comment.
