How can I control my anger?

Answer 1

Find positive things to put it into.

Answer 2

It depends. Is your anger justified? Is it an automatic reaction or is it a response to provocation? Without knowing the circumstances preceding your anger, it is difficult to get a handle on the situation. In general, anger is hard on a person and it's my belief that it will over time shorten your life or reduce the quality of your state of health.
In the heat of the moment, turn and walk away. For the long term, think about the following:
-If your anger is toward someone else and that person is not purposely trying to anger you, then adjust your expectations for that personl. For instance, a small child cannot be expected to have perfect behavior and it would be unreasonable to expect that.
-If your anger is justified and you are being provoked deliberately by someone, you need to do what you can to eliminate or reduce contact with that person. If that is impossible, then you need to search for ways to resolve the dispute even if the best you can do is agree to disagree. It's is not necessary to always agree with someone or for someone to always agree with you.
-If your anger is an automatic reaction or seems to be your constant companion, do some soul-searching to find out what you are afraid of. Many times anger is really fear. It could be fear of getting hurt ,and your anger pops out to try and prevent that from happening.
-Is your environment relaxing and comfortable? You can make efforts to control your environment and set it up to be the way that is most comfortable and peaceful for you. Don't just flounder helplessly. Take an active role in making your life the way you want it to be. Arrange your space at home and at work (as much as possible) to support a more peaceful mindset. Listen to music that calms you, use colors that you find soothing, set up your external environment to be suitable to YOU and it will help your internal environment. YOU decide what you want to let into your world, into your head, and into your life. You make these decisions. Perhaps if you feel more in control of all aspects of your life, the anger will diminish.
-Don't overlook the physical components either. Are you getting enough sleep, enough leisure time to yourself, proper nutrition, and exercise? Are you taking good care of yourself?
-If you address these issues and still have this anger, then maybe you can turn it into something useful such as motivation. Let it propel you to do something positive, and take care that your anger does not hurt someone. It's a definite step in the right direction that you have asked this question and have a desire to control your anger rather than letting it control you. Good luck to you!

3) Begin to search where this anger comes from and what it is associated with.

Answer 7

Depends on the subject you are angry about and how controlled your actions are.

If your disgusted with something you know is wrong I wouln't suggest complicating that knowlege with guilt for being angry. That just causes confusion. As for me I would pray for guidance, wisdom, and strength and this would be what I would do: Ephesians 6:11 .....
