Personal Development: Five Best Ways to Control Anger

Do you think it’s satisfactory to attend anger management when needed? Are you shy or scared people might think otherwise? See other options.

Truly anger exist! I hate being angry just like everybody else. It’s never a good thing particularly if it leads you to do some dumb things! People kill or commit suicide due to anger and for me not to do such crazy stuff, I derived ways to deal with it before it took control of me.

best ways to control with anger are:

1.                          Avoid negative people

I needed to be mindful of the company I keep or how much stuff I read online to be able to deal with anger. I realized that people filled with negativity always drew me into their world just because I wanted to be there for them. I had to come to a conclusion that staying away or avoiding such people kept me sane. Instead, I replaced them with positive-thinking and happy people. This made my life much better.

2.                           Count 1-100

This may sound cliché or old school but trust me, it works! At least, it is working for me. Whenever someone or something got me upset to a point I cannot think straight, I managed to count 1-100 and before I got to 40, I had calmed myself down. Do it slowly and focus on the numbers and see experience the magic.

3.                           Walking away

Walking out of an argument does not mean you lost or you do not know what you are saying. Walking out simply means you do not want that simple/heated argument to get physical or worse. I always want to have self-control especially around people or partner. This means be willing to leave an area full of hate and negativity because you can’t stand it any longer.

4.                           Go boxing, swimming

I remember the day my friend dashed off my house, rented a hotel room and swam in their pool around 2am because she was so pissed with her boyfriend’s love for the bottle. It wasn’t something she wanted to do but after she did, it saved her. For my other friend, he goes boxing. Instead of punching someone’s face, he hits the boxing bag. It’s a good therapy for anger.

5.                           Anger Management Class

I have never gone this far where I sort for help from a facility but for my close friends who have, its therapeutic. Go ask for help from this facilities or visit your priest/pastor, they can help you think and if you can think, you can get self control back, no matter how crazy the situation is.
