How To Control Your Anger

To control your anger¸you should know what pushes your irritation buttons i.e what exactly makes you angry

• Be cool be clever - anger makes us silly literally what seem like a good idea when we are angry can seem really silly when we calm down. The angrier we become; the more intelligence drop. Try as much as you can to calm down when upset... Count to ten and between each count say to yourself: "i'm becoming calmer"

• Don't get angry for pity's sake - anger makes us see other people as objects to be acted upon rather than human beings to be interacted with. We become angry with someone when we think they're preventing us from getting what we want. To get full control of your anger, see the person you're angry with as a 6-month-old helpless baby and your anger will just melt down in no time. continue.......


• Breathe...
Anger doesn't just happen in your head. As anger rises, so does your blood pressure. You begin to breathe more rapidly, blood gets pumped into your arms and legs for fighting.
Natural steroids are released into your blood stream making you feel stronger and less susceptible to pain_which is why angry people might punch a wall without feeling the pain until later.
deal with your own anger on a physical level say to yourself: "there`s no way 'm getting raised blood pressure over this!" Breathe in deeply, then breathe out slowly. Your out-breath needs to be longer than your in-breath. If you do this you'll calm down rapidly and your blood pressure will quickly normalize. You'll also find out you can think more clearly again.

• Let anger know who's boss - with this you can do away with your anger early enough.

• Overcome real frustrations Remember the words of the Budha: "being angry is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else, you are the one who gets burned"
