Anger is a normal human emotion. However, when it becomes out of control, it can cause problems. Anger also causes physiological and biological changes, such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. Anger can be triggered by anything, anyone, or any circumstance. Problems in one's personal life can also cause anger. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. The healthiest way to express anger is in an assertive, rather than aggressive, manner. To do so, you must learn how to show your needs and ways to get them met without hurting others.
Below are some of the tips to deal with anger.
-
Physical activity aids in stress reduction and muscle relaxation. When you are angry, go for a walk or do some physical exercise to feel better.
-
Speak to yourself about how anger is not a solution. Consider possible solutions to things and situations that irritate you.
-
Instead of complaining about the actions of another person, express your concern and how it affects you.
-
Holding a grudge against someone only makes us bitter. It is preferable to forgive others and let go of anger.
-
Using humor to lighten the mood can help to relieve tension. It can also make us feel better in the long run.
-
Deep breathing exercises or talking to ourselves and assuring ourselves that the situation will improve are two methods for relaxing the mind and reducing anger.
-
Controlling anger can also be difficult; it is acceptable to seek professional assistance to deal with it.
-
Take a break, reassess the situation, consider all parties involved, and speak. When angry, we seem to say things that we later regret.
-
After you've calmed down, express your emotions in a non-confrontational manner and address your concerns.
