Anger management

For me when I feel some pent up anger building up inside me, I will do one of two things. 1) Go into another room, where I can be alone and listen to some music. It helps to calm me and put me in a better frame of mind. 2) Get a bit physical, channel my anger into something constructive, whether it be, tackling some unfinished jobs or doing some household chores. By the time i've finish what I have done, i've usually forgotten why I was so angry in the first place. Instead of anger, i'll feel pleased with myself because I would have accomplished something, even if it is just cleaning out the toilet ...........lol

the best way to control your anger is that you will be quit for a while and and look different activities of different people around you it willl really make you smile becouse most of activities done by the persons are like a drama...so people must try it it will work

for me I start cleaning house. Or leave to get away from the person I am fighting with

Music is the medicine for me. Everytime for sleep or stress or anger music always comes to my aid. And not all types of music it is classic music that i listen to everytime i am in need of some relief from excess stress or anger and it always provides me the relief.

Hmmm...I might do that push-ups thing you're mentioning. Gives me extra muscles. In days when I'm really upset, I will clean my house from top to bottom, even the drawers were re-organized. I never experienced feeling that volcano erupting inside of me though. After an hour, I'm back to normal again. I never stayed angry for long. Don't want to have wrinkles yet. "smile"

Just had to contribute to this one... hehehe... I am working on an experiment, wonder how many people would be interested to try it out. When you get angry, raise your head and look UP. Let's see how long you can stay angry in that position.

Good idea! I'll have to remember that next time! Usually I do one of two things, retreat (well I most always do that, as I don't believe much in arguing) but I may go and sit quietly somewhere.. or very often I will tackle a chore I've been putting off, even if it's just the dishes or something.. Then you feel happy you got that jopb done. I think exercise is a great idea too!

I have been accused of having a short fuse on occasion hun. When I get that wound up and angry I take myself off to a quiet place and let rip. I've *killed* a cushion before now, a few swift punches helped a lot though.

If I get really angry I seem to get calmer. If that makes any sense lol. I'll release some steam by writing..or I'll begin to clean -- even though I clean more and better when I worry than when I get angry lol. But most often I'll write or read a book. Take my mind off it til I can handle what I got angry at, logically.

Sometimes I calm myself with music, sometimes I take my anger out on my household chores. Some days one works better than the other.

Bless your heart, I wish everyone had this kind of anger attitude/management... Take Care...

I may drop down to the floor as well, only to pray instead of do push ups. I really struggle for meekness and have a choleric personality which I must make a concertive effort to overcome, and then, the cleaning is also a great way to release that energy.

actually i m not getting angry normally, but to control my anger i generally remains silent for sometimes .

I know this is an older discussion, but I just happened to see it, forgive me please? When I get anmgry I usually clean. Considering I have a teenage daughter that gets on my nerves my house is always clean lol. Then I will listen to relaxing music and do some yoga streches, and do some meditation.

Well, since I seldom get angry, I had to think about this one, and I've come to the conclusion: get OLD! When I was young I had a bad temper. I got angry quite often. Maybe I should say I had flaming red hair, so can I blame my hair? Redheads are supposed to have a temper, aren't they? I think it has been many, many years since I've been angry or impatient. I don't think I've purposely done anything to curb it, though I do believe it is a waste of energy. It achieves nothing good, and probably hinders rational thinking, and causes ill will, so it doesn't make sense to get angry. Apart from that, as I said, maybe you just have to get old!

Hey I am not like you, surely I can't just drop down and do push ups every time I get angry. Actually I am a bit lazy :P. But being a pisces its nice, as I can't be angry for long. It just comes like the wind and goes like the storm. All I need to do is to handle myself for those few seconds. And for that I always try to divert my mind to some happy things or other goals that I have to acomplish, or just some other work. I don't have to do it for too long as I calm down instantly. Haha I feel its a good blessing. Any ways Take Care May GOD Bless YOU

Greatmanagement. there is a way they say that you can release anger, get a baseball bat and hit it hard releasing your anger on some punching bag. Shout if you want and release all the tention and anger inside you.

I obviously has no good anger management skill, normally I will keep quiet sitting at my place, keep myself calm for few minutes, then I'll find a victim and start to complain about what i am angry about for few hours. If it's about somehting that i can't complain to anyone, i will go back and get a nice sleep.

For me, I usually keep my anger inside. I keep it at bay, until it is just too much, and I just explode. I want to be left alone if I'm angry, and God help those who bother me. If I can't find any peace, then I take a long, long walk. A lot of the time, though, I take my anger out on my house by scrubbing it from top to bottom.

when i feel so angry that i feel like i'm about to blow up, i usually cry, if it comes to that or i 'll just take deep breaths and think of positive things. or, i eat...anger usually gets me craving for siomai.;)
