Anger Management Tips

All in this hectic,stressful life, we all tend to get irritated, and hence angry. And everone knows anger does more harm than any good.

Here are a few tips to manage anger

1)Workout
Find a healthy outlet for your anger. Do things like beat the pillows,matresses,ht the punch bag, cry out loud(when you're inside the house),break plastic bottles in a bag to name a few.

2)Calm yourself
Learn some deep breathing exercises and some muscle relaxation techniques. Try deep breathing. Try some soothing instrumental music, or chanting a mantra(such as Om) to relax. My pick for this - try listening to trance(tracks such as Om Numah Shivay by Apache Indian),it works.

3)Introspect
Once you have relaxed yourself,and are in a position to think about what made you angry, make a mental note of the things(if not actual) that triggered off the anger.

4)Write it out
This is one great technique suggested by psychologists. Take a pen, and a piece of paper, and write down your feelings,those instances when you lost your cool over something. Once you can pinpoint the cause,draw a conclusion, and a plan to how to resolve it(f it needs resolution).

5)Just Let it go...
This phrase by Usher(from the track"Intro" of the album "Confessions") says it all. Its been my stress buster whenever i had relationship issues. Hanging on to oyur anger is harmful. It leads to depression and aggression. So once you're calm, analyse the situation and let it go. Forgive and forget the person against whom you had the grudge. And feel light hearted and relaxed.
