Methods for handling anger




Avoid frustrating situations by noting where you got angry in the past;

- Reduce your anger by taking time, focusing on other emotions (pleasure, shame, or fear), avoiding weapons of aggression, and attending to other matters;

- Respond calmly to an aggressor with empathy or mild, unprovocative comments or with no response at all;

- If angry, concentrate on the undesirable consequences of becoming aggressive. Tell yourself: "Why give them the satisfaction of knowing you are upset?" or, "It isn't worth being mad over.";

- Reconsider the circumstances and try to understand the motives or viewpoint of the other person;

- Train yourself to be empathic with others; be tolerant of human weakness; be forgiving (ask yourself if you haven't done something as bad) and follow the great lesson of mankind: do as we would be done by.
