Tips to Tame Your Anger and Keep It Under control

Let’s face it, anger is a natural emotion that some people just can’t seem to keep under control. While the expression “anger is the only feeling that you can control” is pretty simple and self-explanatory, many of us find it difficult to stay mad for more than a few minutes. We all experience anger from time to time, but for some people it happens more frequently than others. For example, if you feel like there’s someone bugging you at work or at home, chances are you’re experiencing an angry outburst regularly. If this description sounds like you, then you might be one of the 10 percent of the population with extreme anger outbursts (also known as “rage attacks”). These attacks happen suddenly and without warning and can last for hours or even days. Luckily, there are several ways to tame your anger and keep it under control so that it doesn’t ruin your life or interfere with your day-to-day activities.

What is anger and how can it be controlled

Anger is a feeling of intense irritation and anger that is typically accompanied by feelings of hostility, violence, and aggression. It can be difficult to control when it comes up, and can lead to negative consequences for both the person experiencing anger and those around them.

There are a few things you can do to help control your anger, and they all start with recognizing when it's happening. When you notice that your anger is starting to take over, take a few deep breaths and focus on your breathing. This will help calm your emotions and help you to think more clearly.

Next, try to identify the source of your anger. Usually, the source of anger is something that has happened recently or something that is currently happening. If you can't identify the source, it can be difficult to address the anger in a rational way.

Finally, think about what you want to achieve by controlling your anger. Sometimes, the best way to control your anger is to not let it control you. Try to take a step back and think about what you want to achieve, and then try to take the appropriate steps to achieve it.

Finally, remember that anger is a normal feeling, and it's important to remember that it can be controlled. Just remember to take some deep breaths, focus on your breathing, and think about what you want to achieve before reacting to the situation.

The different stages of anger and how to deal with them

There are several stages of anger, and it's important to know how to deal with each one.

The first stage is called "anger-fury." In this stage, you'reraged, and all rational thinking goes out the window. You might become violent or lash out at those closest to you.

The second stage is called "anger-rage." In this stage, you're still angry, but you're also mad at yourself. You might lash out at anyone who crosses your path, and you might even refuse to speak to anyone.

The third stage is called "anger-apathy." In this stage, you're no longer angry, but you're still upset. You might feel numb or empty, and you might not be able to think straight.

It's important to remember that each stage is different, and there's no one right way to deal with anger. What works for one person might not work for another, but learning about each stage and how to deal with it is sure to help you get through difficult situations with grace.
