Anger is calamity set to happen; it makes you lose control of yourself and your senses, and you’ll end up doing things you wouldn’t ordinarily do.
Being able to control your anger will make you a more mature and wiser person, and you’ll handle situations better.
These are some important tips every short-tempered person should know.
1. KNOW WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR ANGER
Try to identify what triggers you to become angry. Knowing what easily makes you lose your cool will give you a foothold over it.
2. AVOID THOSE TRIGGERS
When those situations that will likely trigger your temper arise, try to avoid them. No matter how hard it may seem at first, try to focus your attention on something else.
3. EXPRESS YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE MUCH CALMER
If you had an angry situation which you walked out from, you can express it when you are much calmer and in control of yourself.
4. EXERCISE MORE AND FREE UP YOUR SPIRIT
Physical activities can help you reduce the stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel angry, take a walk or engage in any physical activity, and you’ll feel better. You can practice relaxation skills like deep-breathing exercises and yoga. Also, do more of the things you love and meditate daily. These will free your mind and spirit, and give you better control.
5. LEARN TO FORGIVE
Try to free up your inner mind as often as possible; this will help you be in control of your temper. Don’t hold a grudge, try to be at peace with people and try not to remember certain situations.
Don’t give anger the chance to control your life.
Your temper shouldn’t control you and make decisions for you. You should do this for yourself.
