Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure or antagonism towards others. Once you feel anger you can cause harm to other if it's uncontrolled so you need to manage it. Do you want your anger to get under control? I have here some tips for you.
1. Think before you speak
Did you have an experience when your temper got to hit its limit that you said many harsh words? Then later on when you become calm you regret what you said. My tips for you in this kind of situation is you need to take a few moments to collect all your thoughts before saying anything and allow the others involved to do the same. So that you don't have to hurt others feelings by your words.
2. Once you're calm, express your anger
You need some time to be calm, as soon as you know that you can think clearly, you can express your frustration in a confident without being an aggressive way. You can now state your concerns and needs clearly. In that way, you don't have to hurt others.
3. Get some exercise
Do some physical activities because it can help you to reduce stress. Do you know that stress can cause irritation and anger? Well if you are stress you are easy to feel anger and irritated. When you suddenly feel that your anger is increasing just go for a brisk walk or run or do other enjoyable physical activities.
4. Take a timeout
Many people usually think that timeouts are just for kids but their wrong. Even us, adults also need timeouts especially when we feel stressed. We also need quiet time for us to think wisely without getting irritated or angry.
5. Identify possible solutions
If you feel mad don't focus on the reason for your anger instead think of some possible solutions. For example, your partner is always late for dinner. Instead of fighting for that reason why don't you think how your issue is resolved like talk to each other and schedule some dinner. Always remember that anger won't fix anything but it might make everything worse.
6. Stick with "I" statement
Many people always put blame even for a little mistake. Avoid finding fault or putting the blame to someone because it can start a fight instead use "I" statement. For example, say "I'm upset that you left the dishes" instead of saying "You never do household chores". In this way, the tension won't increase.
7. Don't hold a grudge
You need to learn how to forgive. Do you know that forgiveness is a powerful tool of God? Once you learn to forgive someone your relationship with that someone will grow and you will feel relieved but what if you allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out over positive feelings of yours? You might find yourself full of hatred, bitterness and you also being unfair to other.
8. Do relaxation skills
You need to practice deep breathing and repeat some calming words or phrase if you feel anger. So that you can feel relax and calm then your temper decrease. Also, do some yoga poses or anything that help you to relax for your temper to decrease.
9. Use humor to release tension
Use your humor to face what makes you angry. Humor also can lighten up the atmosphere to diffuse the tension. Also, avoid sarcasm because it might make things worse and it can hurt others.
10. Know when to seek help
Learning to control your anger is a challenge even to everyone but what will happen if you let your anger? It can cause you to do things that you would regret or it could hurt everyone around you. So ask for help if you're anger seems out of control.
