Answer 1

Anger is a destructive trait. Thinking about the disastrous consequences, which can be irrevocable, have been enough to keep mine under control.

Realize that it is not worth the damage done. Try applying the same energy into a positive solution. Stop and realize that nothing ever gets accomplished with anger. Tell self: self, get a hold of yourself. There is a better way to handle this.

Hi Tnisha It sounds like a chronic habit you developed somewhere in your life. If you've always had this problem, it's very likely one of your parents deals with their frustration in the same way. You have to re-parent yourself in this area. First - there are several anger management books in bookstores or available online. Second - almost every city or town has an anger management support group where you can learn how to control your anger before it gets full-blown. Third - This also falls under Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. Try a local mental health clinic, if you don't have the money to see a therapist, or find a psychologist who deals with Anger Management issues. Sorry to tell you this, but as we get older, our bad habits get even worse unless we intervene and change. Good luck.

I think a good way to handle your anger is to control it. Don't let little things get you mad, because if you let the small things bug you then, how are you going to handle the big problems? Anyways my advice is if you are arguing with a loved one, take a walk until you are cooled off. But don't go the the closest bar and call them from there .. it just makes it worse. I know because my ex-b/f did that to me all the time and I ended kicking him out.
While you taking that walk, think about how differently you can approach things from different angles. Maybe you just need time to think about where your life is and how you got there. And think of ways to be more happier and livelier. There is light at the end of a tunnel. Just think ways to help you control your anger. fave - sports , hiking, running, jog, going to the gym ......or..... dance in the nude in the rain.. be sure nobody's around..

Answer 4

Use your fists against a fluffy pillow.(as if the pillow was the person who caused you anger)
Have at home some really cheap dishes and when angry, take one or two and throw them on the floor as if you are throwing on the floor the person or the situation that made you angry. It has been proved than not only the gesture of throwing things helps you steam off, but the sound of the plate or glass that breaks helps very much in anger management.

Peace!

Answer 5

The emotion of anger is neither good nor bad. It’s perfectly healthy and normal to feel angry when you’ve been mistreated or wronged. The feeling isn't the problem it's what you do with it that makes a difference. Anger becomes a problem when it harms you or others.

Answer 6

Hmmm anger...well that is something that is quite difficult unless you are willing to work on it...it is like an habit hard to break.

Everytime you get angry, jot it down and describe why and how you got angry...as you keep this up you will be able to dig in yourself and find out what is really bothering you.

And please don't go to any of these balloney anger management classes or anything like that!

Good luck!

anger management was a real problem for me a few years ago i was also the first person to be kicked out of anger management classes at my old school because i hit the instructor. i did learn something that stuck with me never hit some unless they have hit you 3 times.

Answer 8

"Meditate" and think deeply about the following because when putting it into practice it would be much easier and the more you learn to focus like this the easier it will become.

- Where is the most serene place you've ever been to? (visualize yourself there - use this thought when angry)

- What is the most happiest thing thats happened in your life? (visualize yourself there - use this thought when angry)

- Think about the possible consequences for carrying out your anger (assault? murder? prison? lonliness?) and tell yourself this is not what you want...EVER

- WALK AWAY AND WALK IT OFF
.

Answer 9

Anger is a weak persons immitation of strength. You have no control over yourself or your surroundings. Its good that your looking to change it. Angry people are very amusing. They are just broadcasting what little control in life they have. Where many are threatened by their actions, I think they are such as joke.
