Anger is a normal and even healthy emotion — but it's important to deal with it in a positive way. If you are someone who is short-tempered then it can affect both your health and your relationships. We all are aware of the challenges we face every day so sometimes it is healthy and normal to experience anger. So, when we say manage your anger, that doesn’t mean that you won’t angry any more

Are you ready to manage your anger? Then start following these tips.

1. Think before you speak

The best advice we can give you is that when you are angry never say anything wrong that might hurt others. Take a deep breath and think what will you say and allow others involved in the situation to do the same.

 

2. Once you're calm, express your anger

Don’t just vomit out your angry words, go get calm first, understand of better things you can do about it then step up and express your angry calmly. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them.

 

3. Try some physical activities -

This is the best thing you can do, when you get involved in physical activities like, gyming, dancing or playing some sports it helps you release the stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel your anger escalating, go for your favourite activity and relax.

 

4. Take a timeout

Just give yourself a break. Being quiet can actually be helpful for you, you feel better prepared to handle what's ahead without getting irritated or angry.

 

5. Identify possible solutions

Rather than concentrating on what made you annoyed, take a shot at settling the current issue. Does your child's messy room drive you crazy? Close the door. Is your partner always late for family dinners? Try schedule according to his/her time. Remind yourself that anger won't fix anything and might only make it worse.

 

6. Stick with 'I' statements

To avoid criticizing or placing blame — which might only increase tension — use "I" statements to describe the problem. Be respectful and specific. For example, say, "I'm upset that you left the table without offering to help with the dishes" instead of "You never do any housework."

 

7. Don't hold a grudge

Forgiving people is not at all a bad thing. Don’t let anger and other negative feelings get over the positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. But if you can forgive the person who made you angry then it’s good for both of you as you both will learn from the situation and try to strengthen your relationship more.

 

8. During such situations, make Humour your BFF.

Just reply in a funny way that will lighten up the tension. When you are angry use humour to divert your mind because the situation will get much sorted when you laugh.
