TIPS TO MANAGE ANGER

-

These are the tips on how to manage anger. They are;

1. Think before you speak: In the heat of the moment, it's easy to say something you'll later regret. Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything and allow others involved in the situation to do the same.

2. Once you're calm, express your anger: As soon as you're thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but non confrontational way. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly without hurting others or trying to control them.

3. Get some exercise: Physical activity can help reduce stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel your anger escalating then go for a brisk walk or run or spend some time doing other enjoyable physical activities.

4. Practice relaxation skills: When your temper flares, put relaxation skills to work. Practice deep breathing exercises by imagine a relaxing scene or repeat a calming word or phrase such as "Take it easy." You might also listen to music or write in a journal or do a few yoga poses whatever it takes to encourage relaxation.

5. Use humor to release tension: Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Use humor to help you face what's making you angry and possibly any unrealistic expectations you have for how things should go. Avoid sarcasm though it can hurt feelings and make things worse.
