Let Us Take A Look At Forms Of Anger Management Activities

By Cindy Drake

Sometimes a small incident can get totally out of hand and result in unbridled anger that boils over without a moments notice and causes all kinds of trouble and after effects; and sometime it is a case of a long held grudge that just never seems to resolve itself and to make it just disappear, you need to take action and get it resolved. Whatever the source, whatever the cause; anger is insidious and needs to be taken care of as the situation warrants; and there are many forms of anger management activities that do just that.

Sometimes all it takes to resolve a source of anger or grudge bearing, is a one to one interaction between the parties involved; or if it is something occurring at the workplace, then a group interaction is needed with all parties that have part in the incident, and allow the workplace dynamics and input help to solve the problem.

Anger management activities vary in many different ways and it would depend on the source of the upset as to which activity would be the most effective for the problem. Journaling is a very sound and dynamic way to solve your own anger problems and can be done with nothing more than you, a pen, and a journal to record your thoughts. Journaling is very powerful because it takes the seething emotion that is crippling your insides and turns it into rational thought when you have to put it into words and inscribe them onto the paper. In doing so, you can defuse the anger.

Flareups in the workplace are almost everyday occurrences lately because we are working at jobs where multiple types of personalities are crammed into the same work space as we are, and they are sometimes not people we would choose to spend any length of time with if we were not at work. So, with personalities clashing before any stressors are added into the mix; it is no surprise that anger rears its ugly head periodically.

Internet chat rooms are another form of anger management activities that would be worth looking into as a source of self expression with other folks who share your feelings and experiences. You can ask questions, give insight, resolve problems and express your anger online with folks who know exactly where you are coming from and can sometimes give you the help you are looking for.

Getting things out of your system is always good, because the pressure is released and the opportunity is no longer there to go out and hurt someone. When you use a form of catharsis, you can get those feelings out and there is no need to involve anyone else, you are just writing in a journal and no one else will see what you have written. That in itself is beneficial, because you can let your feelings flow, examine what pushes your buttons, and why you feel like you do in certain situations. What in your past made you feel angry, despondent, hurt or abandoned----all of this can be dealt with on paper with abandon.

Anger management activities have their place in society, and with all of us being so different and stuck on this planet, elbow to elbow-----anger erupts and can get carried away, so having these activities is a boon to all of us. There are numerous kinds of activities and not all will work in every situation, but if you choose the activity wisely and fit it to the situation at hand, then a solution for the anger can be found. Whether it be face to face resolution of the problem, or a group interaction, or just you with a book recording your feelings; any of these solutions will work when used properly. When you feel that feeling of release and relief replace those feelings of anger, you know you are on the right track to getting rid of the anger that has been overriding your rational thought, and healing is possible. - 30309
