How To Deal With Anger

[nancyshanice]

There are times we all experience anger at some point of time, Jesus did when he was in the temple Mat 21:12. It comes down as too, whether the anger is controlled, the reason behind the anger and the choices we make during the episode of anger. It becomes very hard to manage your anger, and if it is emotional you can end up causing destruction. Therefore, we should know how to manage our anger in order to avoid much destruction.

In order to control anger you should know what it is, for me I can define it as an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. You need to control it before it gets out of hand. Simple relaxation tools such as deep breathing and relaxing imagery can help calm down angry feelings. This is done by;

• Breathing deeply, from your diaphragm.

• Slowly repeating a calming word or phrase such as 'relax' or 'take it easy.' Repeat it to yourself while breathing deeply.

• Using imagery; visualize a relaxing experience from either your memory or your imagination.

Know how to manage your anger.

[Joshua]

It is true that many people don't know how to manage anger. Out of anger people do things that are unreasonable and which lead to destruction. Even Ben Carson had anger but he had to manage it. The book of Proverbs 16:32 says,

One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city.

How to manage anger can be achieved through prayers. One should pray to God to take it away forever .

Different people need to deal with sudden bursts of anger in different ways. It's just a matter of knowing what works best for you. If you find that prayer is your ultimate anger management method, then so be it. But it doesn't always work for everyone.

I agree with hibernate. When I get angry at something, I feel that leaving the room, going outdoors and getting some fresh air clears my mind more quickly and I get to cool down a bit.

I am very prone to anger and to shouting. I guess I need to find the most effective way to manage this. It’s really a weakness of mine and people are getting to know me as a very hot-tempered person, which really sucks.

At least you are acknowledging that weakness. Being aware that you are hot-tempered and you need to manage it more appropriately is a good first step. I know a lot of hot-tempered people who don’t even acknowledge it or are in self-denial. They are the kind of people who get angry easily because they always think they are right.

This is very helpful for me because I am very quick to anger and once I start rattling my mouth, I just can't stop!

Counting to 10 works for me. I guess it's all a matter of knowing what can distract you from being angry.

Happy thoughts! It would take some practice but thinking about a happy moment when you're about to blow off your lid is a great way to counter anger!

[Mary Parker]

I am the last person to have control on my anger. I really can't control it. I bounce back completely on others when I am angry for something.
