How to control your anger?
Being able to manage your anger is very important, especially if you have a high pressured job and anger is an unfortunate by-product of this circumstance.
So, before you say something, try to count to 10 in your head. It is amazing what 10 seconds can do. In this time you may re-assess what you were going to say and think better of it.
Try to express you anger in a healthy, socially acceptable way. If you find yourself getting angry very easily, then try an aggressive form of sport to ‘let-off-steam’.
Humor is also a very powerful weapon in the war against anger. Use it to diffuse a tense situation. Cracking a joke and laughing can often help to alleviate the problem you are experiencing and, in turn, lighten the mood.
Relaxation is also very important if you experience stress or anxiety. If you are stressed, it is likely that this will give way to anger, so learn to relax. Try yoga or self-hypnosis if you find it difficult to relax, and soon you will see that you will be able to control your anger a lot better.
