You Can Master Antagonism Through Anger Management

Anger management can sometimes be portrayed as a comical thing in media

, but if you are handling a rage problem, it's no laughing matter. There are a great number of adults who have these issues. Angry outbursts have a negative impact on people's lives. You can't take back the way you treat people, but you can change. For a better life, start finding new ways to deal with angry feelings.

Many horrible things stem from poorly managed emotions including domestic violence, friend loss, substance abuse, and road rage. Those who experience your fury may become permanently afraid of you. That's not a healthy way to interact with people. Consider an anger management course or therapy if you or someone you know is having issues dealing with this emotional issue.

Hurt and fear are at the base of every negative emotion including anger. By getting to the root of the problem, you can learn ways to deal with it from that deeper perspective. If you can heal that deeper feeling, you can begin to overcome it. When resentment starts getting in the way of a good life, maybe it's time to start a journal. An anger journal is a place to explore the reasons for your emotions, how you are dealing with it, and possible solutions. By writing a journal about it you can come up with patterns and triggers you might not easily see just from thinking about it.

Try discussing your annoyance with someone who is safe. If they are understanding and willing to listen, they may be able to assist you with getting to a new place with your feelings. Chose someone you respect and who is not deeply involved in the situation. They can help you figure out whether you have other options, or whether your feelings are reasonable.

By learning new ways to deal with your negative feelings, you are practicing anger management. You are not trying to destroy angry feelings, but you are trying to accept them and find healthy outlets for them. Following are some other ideas for dealing with the problems you face.

Diffuse your angry feelings with space and time. Like the timeout children often receive, you can get away from the heat of the moment. Get some exercise if possible. Burn through some of that fired up energy. You could even just take a five minute walk if nothing else is possible.

Yoga, meditation, breathing, or other relaxation techniques can also be helpful in calming overwhelming emotions. When the brain is calm, you will handle the situation more easily. Besides it's healthy to breath, meditate, or practice yoga. Part of anger management is achieving a healthier life.

Be solution oriented. An eye on problem solving can get you out of your frustration and into your analytic brain. When you are thinking about problem solving, you are not feeling angry. Reaction is mostly habit. Changing your habits is a matter of willful practice. You will feel lots better if you find a positive new way to react when resentment begins to occur.

At first anger management might feel like it's too much, but you need not be alone. Anger is a perfectly normal human feeling. If you respect the way someone you know deals with their irritation, or just their life in general, ask them how they do it. Mentors can help us become better people if we give them the opportunity. They will feel good about it, and you will too.
