Anger management tips
10 tips to help get your anger under control
Zahid Mahmood
1.Take a 'timeout.‘
Although it may seem cliche, counting to 10 before reacting really can
defuse your temper.
1… 2…. 3…. 4…. 5…. 6…. 7…. 8…. 9….10
2.Get some space.
Take a break from the person you're angry with
until your frustrations subside a bit.
3. Once you're calm,
express your anger
It's healthy to express your frustration in a non-
confrontational way. Stewing about it can make the
situation worse.
4. Get some exercise.
Physical activity can provide an outlet for
your emotions, especially if you're about to
erupt. Go for a brisk walk or a run, swim, lift
weights or shoot baskets.
5. Think carefully
before you say anything
Otherwise, you're likely to say something you'll regret. It can be helpful to
write down what you want to say so that you can stick to the issues. When
you're angry, it's easy to get sidetracked.
6. Identify solutions to
the situation.
Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work with the
person who angered you to resolve the issue at hand.
7. Use 'I' statements when
describing the problem.
This will help you to avoid criticizing or placing blame, which can make the
other person angry or resentful — and increase tension.
For instance, say, "I'm upset you didn't help with the housework this
evening," instead of, "You should have helped with the housework."
8. Don't hold a grudge.
If you can forgive the other person, it will help you both. It's
unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want.
9. Use humor to
release tensions
Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Don't use sarcasm, though —
it's can hurt feelings and make things worse.
10. Practice relaxation
skills.
Learning skills to relax and de-stress can also help control your temper
when it may flare up. Practice deep-breathing exercises, visualize a
relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase to yourself, such as
"Take it easy." Other proven ways to ease anger include listening to music,
writing in a journal and doing yoga
