Everyone has experienced anger lots of times. I now I have. How about you?
Anger is normal. The problem comes when the anger is not controlled. Anger not managed leads to careers that are ruined, relationships that are strained, and some people even commit crimes when their anger builds and builds.
Learning to deal with and control your anger is very important. Here are some suggestions to help manage your anger.
1. Do you have someone in your life that is easy to TALK to? Who is understanding? Perhaps you have a family member or close friend who qualifies. Try talking your anger out with them. This lets you tell your side of the story and hopefully you will listen as your friend explains the story from a different perspective. Talking it out, listening to other ideas, may help you to understand your anger and thus manage it.
2. During a fit of anger, WRITE down your thoughts and feelings. No one talks back so it is easier to get things off your chest. Writing can also help you identify different "triggers" that cause your outbursts. Writing by hand or on your computer both work well.
3. Have you ever wanted to do something PHYSICAL to someone? You'd like to "take it out" on them because they did something to you. Don't assault the person. Use all that pent up energy at the gym, go for a run, or even hit a pillow. By releasing that energy on a neutral article, you can manage your anger and not hurt anyone in the process.
4. Although it may be difficult to get away, taking a VACATION or going some place to spend time alone is a great way to look at things from a different perspective. Remove yourself from the place that causes your anger and frustration and you can see things in a new way. You can find some solutions to your problem, too.
5. Prayer and meditation work well for some people with anger management problems. Both of these activities give you a chance to be alone with your thoughts in a way to release tension. Letting go of your anger and negative thoughts will make a positive change in your life.
6. Other techniques include deep breathing exercises, physical exercise, getting more sleep, getting outside and into nature, learning to laugh, playing an instrument or listening to music. Many people find these are great ways of getting control of their anger.
So work on using some of these ways to manage your anger. Uncontrolled anger brings lots of adverse consequences. Controlled anger will let you a happier life. - 30309
