Be honest with yourself....have an honest dialogue with yourself each morning about what is bothering you. give yourself the time to reflect on these issues in a place where you will not be distracted.
Seek support....sahre your feelings with someone who will understand your needs your reason for being angry without criticizing or judging you.
Direct your anger....your ability to channel anger can make all the difference in whether your feelings are positive or negative. Properly directed, anger can be a driving force in your life. But if channeled incrrectly, it can become mentally and physically destructive.
Think first....the old proverb that tells us to count to ten when we feel angry has a great deal of merit. eflection allows you to think before you react. You can consider what you want to say, why you want to say it and what will happen when you do. You can think through your options and react in a rational way. In the process, you free yourself from conditioned responses and focus on those that will improve the situation.
Be active, not passive....if you are passive in a situation that calls for action, your submissiveness will allow other people to take advantage of you. And this experience, in turn, will breed even more anger. Take action to resolve such situation. Get support if necessary.
Act, don't react....every time something angers you, ask yourself whether you will act or react to it. Being active allows you to maintain a sense of focus; being reactive does not.
Don't hurt anyone....uncontrolled anger can lead to violence on many levels. Domestic violence results from unmitigated anger, while war results from the egotism of leaders.
