Coping with Anger

By Bushtots

Anger was defined as an intense emotional reaction accompanied often times by stress. In today’s fast paced world, our systems are always carrying within them some form of tension. When this tension mounts, it is then that one gets angry. Useful tips when you are angry:

- if someone has upset, perhaps they said something that offended you, simply walk away.
- Take a long walk through the park or around the garden, focusing on your breathing as opposed to what angered you.
- Think about what made you angry, and then visualize it flowing through to your hands and out as you push against a wall.
- If you find that you are always angry, then perhaps speak to someone you trust – a family member or a close friend. If you are not comfortable doing so, you can consider seeking the help of a professional counselor or pshychologist.

No matter how you prefer to vent your anger, remember it is important for one to vent their anger, else it builds up till you erupt. Worse still, you could end up releasing it on someone who did not make you angry, costing you a friend in the process.
