7 Incredible Lifesaving Tips to Manage Your Anger

By Michael Lee

Anger

Experiencing anger is extremely dangerous to your health. It causes your adrenaline and blood pressure to rise up at above normal levels. Moreover, you could end up hurting someone or doing something that you will regret later on or otherwise you will have depression or stress anger eventually which could affect badly your health.

Dealing with anger is not really hard as long as you have a strong will to practice some exercise with high discipline.

Here are 7 fantastic tips to help you be the one in control of yourself, and not the hazardous madman called “Anger.”

1) Relax and visualize.

Calm yourself down. Take a deep breath. As you exhale, imagine all those bottled-up furies come out of your nose and mouth. Release it and be free. Repeat this step over and over until you feel peace inside.

Then visualize being in a place where you feel most happy, calm, and relaxed. It may be a place like a beach, garden, scenic locations, or anywhere else you might think of. Just imagine being there and inhaling the essence of your serene environment. By doing this, you will not find it hard to attain inner peace.

2) Pour out your anger to safe outlets.

You had a big quarrel with your former friend. He betrayed your trust. You want vengeance and you’re raving mad. Hold it. Restrain yourself.

Try your best to get away from him as far as you can. You don’t want to hurt anyone. Anger can possess your brain into doing something that you wouldn’t dare do before.

How do you then release your anger if you can’t restrict it anymore?

Do have a stress ball. Some stress balls are supposed to be anthropomorphized to people or objects you would like to injure. Instead of wringing your boss’s or friend’s neck, you can just squeeze the life out of a foam effigy of your boss or friend. It enables you to release your anger without ending up fired or imprisoned.

You can also buy a punching bag, then pour out all your rage in it. Punch it, kick it, strangle it. Imagine the punching bag is your enemy. When you’re done, you will feel a sense of satisfaction. You may even punch and kick through thin air if you desire.

Another way of releasing anger is “SHOUT!” Find a distant place where you can be alone – a place where no one can hear you. At the top of your voice, yell out loud “Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.” You can choose any word you like as long as you release all those angry demons out of your chest.

3) Forgive and forget.

Nothing could ease your mental and emotional pains better than by forgiving someone that has hurt you in the past. It is very unhealthy to burden yourself with unnecessary torture brought about by unpleasant memories of other people’s demeaning acts.

Moreover, if they have taken something important away from you, would it make sense to also sacrifice your health and lifestyle? Of course not.

4) Exercise.

Engaging in exercises increases your endorphins. Your angry mood could miraculously change to a happy one if you get involved in exercises that you enjoy doing.  This anger therapy or treatment is of course also good for your health in general.

5) Have a circle of “sponge” friends.

Do you feel relieved when you voice out all your problems to close friends and relatives? That’s the power of voicing out your inner feelings – releasing the stress anger in healthy manner.

Always have someone to talk to when you’re down, when you’re depressed, when you’re mad, or in any other occasion when you feel you have to get the thorns out of your chest.

6) Listen to soothing music which can make you relax.

It calms your soul. A 20 minute session of listening to relaxing music while resting comfortably could soothe the upset spirit and thus give you power in managing anger. Take deep breaths often.

7) Pray to control your anger.

Deadly consequences arise when people could not hold back their fury.

Ask for guidance that you will be able to control your temper. Prayers bring inner peace to those who ask for it. Do raise in prayer your wish in controlling anger.

Please refer to the Bible section by Ephesians 4: 26-27 about Anger where God says
“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil”.
In other words: If you become angry, do not you sin: let not the sun set, before your anger goes out and do not give opportunity to the devil.

There you have sound anger management with 7 essential rules to release yourself from the treacherous killer known as “Anger.” Manage your anger, save your life with anger free.
