Anger Management: The Best Way To Not Become A Bomb

Everyone gets mad. Its human nature to get mad. But when, how, and why your mad depends on the actual person. Some people hold it in and get over it while some explode after a bad joke. So I've came up with a system to help people get over their anger much quicker. But remember that this system won't help everyone so you cant rely on this as your only source of answers.

1. Get away from whatever is making you angry. Whether it may be your parents, boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend, etc., take a break and leave the room. This can give you time to think of why your angry.

2. Concentrate on something soothing. A relaxing beach or a waterfall or your favorite animal or person is sure to help angry feelings abide until you deal with them. If this doesn't work, try exercising to help relieve stress and it mad turn out that you wasn't as mad as you thought.

3. If you have to, call someone so you can vent about why your angry. If u have a chance to speak these feelings aloud, you will start to feel the effects almost immediately.

4. If its a person your mad at, confront them after you have calmed down. Tell them exactly what they did that upset you. It may help you to tell them why it upset you and how you both can avoid this conflict in the future.

5. Write your feelings down. If it was a person that upset you, write it as a letter, seal it, and put it where no one can find it. That way when the time comes for you to confront this person, you can either talk it out or let them view it as you did when you wrote your letter.

6. If your feeling violent then breathe and count to 10. then calmly have someone leave the room with you and go somewhere where they can hold a pillow for u while you punch it. Or gently wrestle with them until your tired or calm enough to come back to the area or talk to the person that made you angry.

7. If your angry from stress or being over worked, take a break and relax. Take a day to yourself to do what YOU want. You could go shopping or hang with friends or go visit family. As long as it takes your mind off whats causing you stress.

8. If its from lack of sleep then you have to make time to go to sleep. To be fully rested, you must be comfortable as you sleep and not be disturbed. Try to get at least 6 to 7 hours of sleep. Try to have the lights off and to sooth you, play some music. Whatever helps to put you into a deep sleep.

9. If your upset because of someone bullying you, confront this person. Pull them off to the side and tell them how their making you feel. If its in the work place, have a supervisor be in the room but not intervene unless its appropriate or needed. If is in your neighborhood, take the same steps but with their parents. If this doesn't work, consider distancing yourself away from them to give them less of a chance to mess with you. If all else fails then you may want to consider talking to the police to reduce the chance of a fight. (but if you can beat them up then do so)

10. And finally (and my personal favorite), laugh. Just laugh it all off. It don't mater if you have someone to laugh with, as long as you have a good, ginuwine chuckle. It helps to shrug some stress off along with anger. And who can stay mad through a laugh, right?

So I hope this helps you along in dealing with your anger. And if there's anything i didn't touch on or is important enough to add on, please leave a comment. Peace out
