HOW TO GET YOUR ANGER UNDER CONTROL!

Get some space:
When you feel that a particular person is causing your anger, take a break from that person until your frustration alleviates a bit. Recompose yourself and face the person with little cool mind again. This break will help you to understand the anger causing factor and save you from regret.


Forgive, but don’t forget!

Resentment is a form of anger that does more damage to the holder than the offender. Making a decision to “let go” is a process that leads to forgiveness or at least acceptance. It is considered a major step toward anger control. If you can forgive the other person, it will help you both. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want


Use humor to release tensions or anger:
Lightening up is helpful to diffuse tension. But remember don’t confuse it with sarcasm because it can hurt feelings and make things worse. Use different mediums of humor to release your suppressed anger as well. It is important to get it out otherwise; it can deteriorate you physically as well as mentally. For example, a painter can release his anger through depicting it in his or her paintings.


Modify the conversation with yourself:
This anger control technique involves learning to recognize and change yours inner conversations. Learning to modify the “self-talk” empowers you to deal with anger more effectively. It will help you to understand how strongly you feel the anger, how long you hold onto your anger, and how you express your anger.
