How do you cope with anger?

Answer 1

You cope with anger by trying to find, through counseling, what is the basis for the anger. Did you know some signs of depression are anger and aggressive outbursts?

In the meantime, the best way to cope is to SHUT YOUR MOUTH, walk away, and do some deep breathing. The old adage of counting to ten works, but only if you count to one hundred first!

Find a positive outlet when you are angry, like vacuuming, or going for a walk, or calling a friend who has an empathetic ear, etc., but DO NOT get in a car/truck. I strongly suggest you try a yoga class that will teach you know to breath and relax.

Yes, I tried all of the above when I need to control my anger.

Answer 2

You have to acknowledge environment factors which are triggering your anger. When you find them try not to be in that situation remove your self before you are angry. People you cannot face it try to be calm around them or avoid them. When you feel angry take a deep breath and count till 10 slowly. Anger does not last its only comes for few Min's . If you are able to avoid you will win over you anger and feel calm later on. Start to write a diary and write it down how you felt and what made you angry and read later on. You will have your own solution for anger management very soon. Good luck !!!Spartan

Answer 4

You used a good word: Cope. We can not eliminate anger, we can cope with it.
When you catch your self getting angry (You can feel rising anger), try to waLK away from the situation, take a 10 minute walk or jog, and come back .
Deep breathing ---in, OUT, in........ OUT........IN.........OUT......... greatly helps.
Finally, think the situation through! Why are you feeling angry? Ultimately it is due to our EGO!
Let go............and Let God handle the matter! Why hang on to it? HE can manage our affairs better than we can! Leave it to HIM!

Answer 5

When you are in the flight of anger, drink three glasses of water, and do pranayam( breathing scientifically by taking long inhalation and prolonged exhalation 20 times).
When you are past the prime of anger do some yoga and meditation.
Try to take things easy!

Answer 6

when you are angry, before you get into a destructive mood, concentrate on your breathing.. Feel the air movement as you inhale and exhale. slowly deepen your breathing, take long deep breaths with your eyes closed, allow your self to feel and experience your inner self and nothing else at least for the next two minutes. Once you open the eyes, you can see that you are not angry anymore and you are in fact smiling at the person who made you angry. try it. It works! all the best!

Answer 7

I smash people up out in the street, as if I was a mighty kung fu warrior. It is a terrible thing to do but afterwards I feel much more calm and relaxed.

Answer 8

Depends on who I'm angry with. If it's my 2 year old I take a lot of deep breaths and send her away from me. If it's an adult I just tell them what I'm angry about and get to the bottom of it, so I'm not the only one miserable.

Answer 9

You just have to be aware of your emotions. If you think little things makes you mad just think happy things and you will forget about being angry. Be always forgiving. Think of yourself as the other person.

Answer 10

Think twice before speak and be calm. Analyse your views on opponents side.
