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.

Controlling your temper isn't always easy. But these effective anger management tips will help and give you the upper hand.
Take a time out:
This is very useful tip to lower the intensity of anger. In this, count to 10 or drink a glass of water before reacting. It can really effuse your temper.
Use relaxation techniques:
Deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation techniques are useful. I have described them in detail in old posts. So, look for them.
Think carefully before you say anything:
Otherwise, what you say beyond your limits, you will regret later. When you are angry, it is easy to sidetrack. So it is good if you make a list of your points that you want to discuss and try to stick your points.
