Read on to find out if you have a problem with managing your anger and what to do about it. ANGER is a normal emotion that tells you something is wrong. It might show that someone or something has interfered with your goals, gone against you or wronged you in some way. Anger can make you feel like defending yourself, attacking or getting revenge. How you experience and express your anger may be influenced by many factors, like gender, culture or religion. Anger is not a bad feeling. Some people believe that anger is bad and that they shouldn’t express anger. This is not true! It’s completely normal to feel angry when you feel threatened, but anger sometimes gets the upper hand. As a result, you may do or say things that hurt others.
Here are a few anger management skills :
- Recognise your Anger Early – If you’re telling, it’s probably too late. Learn the warning signs that you’re getting angry so you can change the situation quickly. Some common signs are feeling hot, raising voices, balling of fists, shaking and arguing.
- Take a Timeout – Temporarily leave the situation that is making you angry. If other people are involved, explain to them that you need a few minutes alone to calm down. Problems usually aren’t solved when one or more people are angry.
- Deep Breathing – Take a minute to just breathe. Count your breaths: four seconds inhaling, four seconds holding your breath, and four seconds exhaling. Really keep track of time, or you might cheat yourself! The counting helps take your mind off the situation as well.
- Exercise – Exercise serves as an emotional release. Chemicals released in your brain during the course of exercise create a sense of relaxation and happiness.
- Express your Anger – Once you’ve calmed down, express your frustration. Try to be assertive, but not confrontational. Expressing your anger will help avoid the same problems in the future.
- Think of the Consequences – What will be the outcome of your next anger fuelled action? Will arguing convince the other person that you’re right? Will you be happier after the fight?
- Visualisation – Imagine a relaxing experience. What do you see, smell, hear, feel and taste? Maybe you’re on a beach with sand between your toes and waves crashing in the distance. Spend a few minutes imagining every detail of your relaxing scene.

Common roots of anger include fear, pain, and frustration. For example, some people become angry as a fearful reaction to uncertainty, to fear of losing a job, or to fear of failure. Others become angry when they are hurt in relationships or are caused pain by close friends. Holding your anger in doesn’t do you much harm, that the occasional outburst is probably OK and that it’s not so much whether you get angry that matters, but how you do it and how often.

I am glad you liked the tips. Anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression. Unexpressed anger can create other problems. The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes.

I’m having anger management issues. I’m not being able to handle things with grace. I’m not being able to forgive. I feel so much resentment and it’s like I have no communication skills

Try some relaxation app and make it a point to sit quietly and do meditation 15 minutes in a day. Force yourself to sit for 15 minutes till you get used to it.
