Anger is a rather strong emotion that has a destructive effect on a person. By succumbing to rage, you stop listening to your own mind. In this state, you can commit an act that you will later regret. Therefore, it is important to control your anger.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to solve the problem that is causing you anger. You may be outraged at being treated unfairly. And you feel that you will soon begin to boil in earnest. Don't let go of the situation. Stand up for yourself and defend your opinion. Then there will be no reason for anger. This method is good, logical, but not always applicable. There are situations when it is necessary to extinguish negative emotions, but their cause cannot be quickly eliminated.
Step 2
Watch your words. Swearing, insults and a raised tone can be the beginning of a real scandal. The trite way of counting to ten before opening your mouth in a fit of rage works. Even in such a short period of inactivity, the mind begins to gain the upper hand over negative emotions.
Step 3
Find an outlet for accumulated unpleasant feelings. Get off while cleaning or at the gym. Draw your abuser in a cartoon style, imagine him in an unsightly, funny situation.
Step 4
Take a break from your worries. In a poignant moment, when your emotions are about to boil, switch to the heart of the problem. Put yourself in the shoes of the person who causes you negativity, delve into the content of his phrases. Showing empathy will help you first understand that you were wrong, and then calm down.
Step 5
Learn to forgive. A condescending attitude towards other people's mistakes, love for others and faith in people will help you avoid outbursts of anger. If you see a threat in every person, an enemy, negative emotions will not be avoided.
Step 6
Monitor your health. Decreased vitality, loss of energy and body resources, reduce your ability to resist negative emotions to almost nothing. At the same time, wellness and health will help you build immunity against outbursts of anger and rage.
