Here are some anger management tips
- First - become an expert on how anger impacts for you. You might want to keep a written record over, say, a week or two. When you have this information (triggers, circumstances, your behaviour), you can start to plan alternative strategies.
- Decide which coping skills you will use - there are a variety of these and it's essential to find the one(s) which work for you. This is your armoury against anger's downside so that you have the best chance to articulate how you feel, what you want and find the solution. Copying skills vary from leaving the situation to calm down before you say or do something you might later regret, using breathing or other physical calming techniques, refocusing your attention elsewhere, counting backwards - anything to take the focus off the person or thing which first triggered the anger emotion - so you can see things more clearly, reduce distress for you and anyone around you and have the best chance of finding a solution to the issue at hand whether this is assertive action or letting go of the hold which anger otherwise has on you.
- Some people have been carrying around unexpressed anger for days, months or years and have created "open angry files". These will continue to create background stress for you until they are closed and there are very effective methods which can be used to do this even if the subject of your anger is no longer around for whatever reason.
