Anger Management: Ways to Control Anger Issues 

Anger is considered the most powerful self-destructive habit that one can have. Although anger can be a good supplement for you as it leads to aggression. 

Aggression helps us to stay and remain in tough times and gives us the motivation and willpower to rise from it. 

As you have seen many sportsmen or teams, how do they make a comeback in the game? Or how does the player take revenge for his/her disrespect or any other thing that elevates aggression in them? And most of the time, this is fruitful to them. 

But, what about in your case? Is anger really good for you? Is being short-tempered is an advantage or a disadvantage? Let’s dive into the solutions. 

What is Anger and why do we get angry?

Anger is a response or feeling that your body produces or feels in some certain situation which may vary from person to person.

This situation depends on the human being who is angry. According to some scientific research, most people lose their temper or get angry when someone comments on something, with which they are highly obsessed. 

To illustrate, if a person is a good achiever in his/her life and he is successful in his career. He may or may not be obsessed about it. But if he/she is, then he/she is gonna be angry if anyone comments something bad on their success. 

This is one of the most common reasons for being angry and is also known as “Taking things on Ego” or just simply “ego”. Although, this is not always the reason sometimes it can be jealousy, hatred, or feeling of domination, etc. Unfortunately, such kinds of problems are mostly seen in teens whereas, in adults, this same feeling can be observed as “Stress” or “anxiety”. 

Being angry occasionally does not have much impact on one’s health but if it is in your routine and has now slowly become your nature and is adding to your attitude then, under those circumstances, it can cause high blood pressure, headache, insomnia, or even heart attack.

 Scar, right? 

That’s we are here to present your top 5 best Anger management skills or tips that will surely help in this case. 

Anger Management Tips

If you’re a short-tempered person and want to get rid of this habit that is destroying your inner peace and always keeps you frustrated then the next 5 tips will help you to overcome this. 

But something to be pinpointed here is, you should practice them consistently, there are some chances that no observable result can be seen at the very first time. But that doesn’t mean these are the wrong ones. 

Just try them out and they will surely help. 

1.    Give Yourself Time.

This one deserves to be on the top of the list. 

Giving yourself some time and space is the best thing that you can do in such a mental condition.  Sit alone and try to observe why last time you were angry with someone? What were the feelings or symptoms that were there, just before you got angry or shouted at someone?

Think about it, try to figure out those triggers or signals, and work on them. Try to avoid them as much as possible. And If by chance it encounters you and gets too high, just walk out of the room.

These are of course some small steps that may sound silly and childish, but remember, all big habits can only be changed by taking small steps. 

2.    Think Of the Consequences

Whenever you are angry, your brain stops working and you have no control over yourself. And to express this feeling, you shout at someone too hard, no matter if he/she is your partner, friend, colleague, friend or anyone, you don’t think twice before doing so. 

In such conditions, just think about the possible consequences after this particular episode of anger. It is damn easy to express your anger but when it comes to managing it, people get stuck. That is why experts recommend always thinking about the bad results of this anger. How badly will it affect your relationship? 

I know, it will be a bit difficult to think this deeply when you are angry but you have to do it.  Because, if you want a change, you have to change. 

3.    Diet 

Coming to the third point, do you know that your daily activities are mostly dependent on your diet? If you have something good for your health like, simple homemade food, you will feel healthy, energetic and along with that, it will keep you calm.  

On the other hand, if you eat something spicy and crunchy like junk food,  it will make your mind excited or overwhelmed.

And never make a mistake that you can use this excitement in your work. As the food is “Junk” then the output is also going to be “junk”. 

Studies have clearly shown that people who have junk food regularly are more subjected to anger and other bad habits like lust, loss of concentration power. And if this all thing keeps cycling for a long period then its result can also trouble you in the long run.

So it's better to start by changing that fries with some salad and that anger with some memorable moments.

4.    Work Out 

As diet helps to keep your mind calm similarly, workout helps you to keep your body calm. If you are working the whole day just sitting in front of your laptop and staring all day at that computer screen, then it will make you frustrated.

Many other bad effects of the blue light are emitted from your computer screen. The human body is designed to do work, moments and carry out activities, physically.  

And if a thing is not being used for what it was made for, it will misbehave. That is why you should give some time to work out.

5.    Meditate 

I think there is nothing more effective than this in the list. Meditation helps us to find ourselves; it makes us relaxed and mind sharp and focused. As a workout make your body muscle strong, meditation makes your brain's muscles strong. 

When you are back to your home from the office, school, or any other place even if you’re a housewife and you just completed your household chores. If possible take a bath and sit in a quiet place and just focus on your breath with your eyes closed. 

Every time you inhale or exhale just focus on it and ask yourself a question, “ Why am I being so angry and short-tempered?”, try to focus on the solution. What can be done to solve this problem? Perform this for only 3 days and results are guaranteed. You’ll be a better person in a week or even in 4 days.  

So there were some management tips which you should try out to overcome your anger and live a better and quality life. 

Conclusion

In the end, you need to understand that if your problem is a year old then, it cannot be cured in a day. It will take time, which is dependent on you, your willpower, and how badly you want it to happen. 

And keep practicing the above tips as it will not only help you to overcome the anger but will also boost your confidence. To get faster results, you can have some chat with your colleague,  your parents or any other whom you like talking to and can also share your problem and difficulties in your life.
