Understanding anger
• The emotion of anger is neither good nor bad.
• It’s perfectly healthy and normal to feel angry when you’ve been mistreated or wronged.
• The feeling isn't the problem—it's what you do with it that makes a difference.
• Anger becomes a problem when it harms you or others.

No. 1 : Explore what’s really behind your anger
• Anger is often a cover-up for other feelings
• Emotional awareness is the key to self-understanding and success in life.
• Without the ability to recognize, manage, and deal with the full range of human emotions, you’ll inevitably spin into confusion, isolation, and self-doubt

No. 2: Be aware of your anger warning signs and triggers
• Pay attention to the way anger feels in your body
• Identify the negative thought patterns that trigger your temper.
• Avoid people, places, and situations that bring out your worst

No. 3: Take a timeout
• Counting to 10 isn't just for kids.• Before reacting to a tense
situation, take a few moments to breathe deeply and count to 10.
• Slowing down can help defuse your temper.
• If necessary, take a break from the person or situation until your frustration subsides a bit.

No. 4: Once you're calm, express your anger• As soon as you're
thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but non-confrontational way.
• State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them.

No. 5: Get some exercise• Physical activity can provide an
outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt.
• If you feel your anger escalating, go for a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other favorite physical activities.
• Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that can leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out.

No. 6: Think before you speak• In the heat of the
moment, it's easy to say something you'll later regret.
• Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything — and allow others involved in the situation to do the same.

No. 7: Identify possible solutions• Instead of focusing on what made
you mad, work on resolving the issue at hand.
• Does your child's messy room drive you crazy? Close the door. Is your partner late for dinner every night?
• Schedule meals later in the evening — or agree to eat on your own a few times a week.
• Remind yourself that anger won't fix anything, and might only make it worse.
