Washington: Praying may be the best solution to anger, especially after someone has left you fuming.
A series of studies showed that people who were provoked by insulting comments felt less anger and aggression soon after they prayed for someone who has offended them.
The benefits of prayer probably occur because the act change the way people think about a negative situation, said Brad Bushman, study co-author and professor of communication and psychology, Ohio State University.
“People often turn to prayer when they’re feeling negative emotions, including anger,” he said, the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin reports.
Results showed prayer helped calm people regardless of their religious affiliation statement.
