Efficient Ways to Cope with Anger

By Forest Hadzi


Anger is a completely normal healthy human emotion. It is an emotion that makes one feel as if you are at the mercy of a strong emotion which is unpredictable. It is a typical response to a criticism, put-down, frustration or deceit. Anger could be valuable yet in the event that it gets out of control it might become destructive. As a human being, when you become angry, adrenalin triggers your physical body to prepare for a brawl by supplying you energy and making you feel on edge. Releasing this energy is healthy for your body but could become problematic. In many cases attacking back or running away is not beneficial. Being angry per se is not an issue but, you ought to know how to address anger as well as manage it.

Rest and relax.

Before reacting to a strained situation and deciding on the next course of action it is wise to step back and review what is occurring. Relaxation strategies like deep breathing can help simmer down angry thoughts. Picturing a soothing experience (also called relaxing imagery) from either pure imagination or from your memory can help in anger management.

Search for a possible resolution.

Do not rush to react in a way that can heighten the uneasiness and kindle an uncivil response. Permit other parties present to have their say and understand all aspects before presenting your opinion. Ideally you should walk away from the situation or particular person until your frustration cools off.

Take out your frustration on something harmless.

When young children get angry, they throw tantrums and strike any surface that is close to them. Maybe you can do it their way. A punching bag or a pillow is most suitable. Assume it is the particular person you are mad at and beat it up. Try to keep it around you so when you feel like exploding you hit it.

Communicate your anger when you are levelheaded.

As soon as you start thinking clearly, you are good to go at conveying your irritation in a self-confident but non-confrontational manner. Plainly and directly communicate your thoughts, without hurting others.

Physical exercise.

Physical exercise can be a terrific outlet for your feelings, particularly if you feel like you will blow up. You can take a stroll or run or maybe start doing your preferred sports. This assists in stimulating brain chemicals that can leave you feeling happier and more relaxed.

Speak to other people.

It's healthy to express your annoyances to people, be patient with them even if they can't appreciate your frustrations.

Put a smile on your face.

This is just one of the most useful anger tips you can use at any moment and use with anyone. A friendly smile (of course not a sneering one) works like magic to drop a mad state of mind and give you a more desirable one. Give it a try.
