Comments on: How to Cope With Anger

on 3/4/2009 I think it's important do not let yourself "to react" in a heat of emotion, just walk away. Then recollect and apply to the root of the problem, not the trigger point, which sets you off.

on 10/14/2008 lemas, though this a quite a bit late, I hope not too late.

Meditation may help you release the pressure that's dumped on you dealing with angry clients all day! STOP and take those deep breaths.

Consider in your mind that the negative energy coming from all those people you're speaking with is affecting you. So you have to distance yourself, and get rid of the negative energy in some way.

You can do this by centering yourself in PEACE. You're being bombarded! To protect yourself you need to have a shield! The only shield I know of that's truly effective is Christ Jesus. Jesus is a real person who can protect you-your sould from the effects of the bombardment of all that anger from others.

It's not an instant fix! It's a day by day by day relationship with Jesus.

It works for me!

"Come unto me all you who labor and are heavily laden and I will give you rest." HE does! I

on 12/24/2007 Remember, Anger is just one letter short of Danger. First of all, walk away from the situation. Sip water, try and breathe easy and wait until you get clarity of thought before you react.

on 9/7/2006 Whenever I get upset about something, I usually hit the weights. With all the anger I build up, I let it all out with a good work out. This really helps when something's on your mind.

on 9/5/2006 I found out that if you're mad and you start to laugh, you forget why you were mad or it doesn't seem to bother you as much. If I'm at home and someone makes me mad, I just put in a comedy and the next thing you know I clam down.

Also, go to a joke site and just print off a few jokes without looking at them and stuff it into your pocket. if someone or something gets you mad, just pull it out and you'll be surprised at the difference it makes.

on 8/8/2006 I know of guys are like "Yeah, this is something I really need." Well for me, being in the military, and being in a stress 24 hour MOS, it is quick to get angry at your spouse. When you are arguing with your wife, there's a thought in your mind that says "It's not worth it." Follow that choice. The best way to deal with anger is to cut it off at the start.

on 8/8/2006 Blow bubbles! Seriously, how can anyone stay mad when there are bubbles everywhere? I always keep a small bottle of bubbles in my purse. It can distract the kids when they're fussy, or help me feel better when I want to strangle someone! I think the breathing (when you blow into the bubble wand) is what relaxes a person.

on 7/5/2006 When I get real angry, I usually get on my bike and ride my anger away, or I take a run. It gives me some time to think about what I am mad about, and it also helps prevent me from doing something that I might regret.

on 6/30/2006 Swearing and yelling only hurts my brain (serious on that one). Punching and kicking things only destroys things you love, only making you more angry. If your past the breaking point, get down and do 20 push-ups. Or the other thing I like to do is, go to my room and beat my pillow with drum sticks. I love the drums, it relaxes me and usually after 20 push-ups and 10 minutes of drumming, I can't even remember what I'm angry about.

on 1/16/2006 I either throw things (not a good idea). I threw a computer chair across the room and the wheel flew off. So don't do that, only throw something like a stress ball where it isn't going to break anything. Also, if I am not too tired I go up to my room, shut the door, and lift some weights; this is a really good technique for me because you think about getting your muscle up so you can beat up the person you're angry at, but by the time you've worked out, you feel too tired to bother and you've given yourself time to think. Seriously really good technique (much better than throwing) and weights really aren't that expensive. I got 3 York dumbbells for around $20. And don't worry if you think you are weak, get the set that I got: 1.5, 3 and 5 pounds.

on 1/13/2006 When I get extremely angry, cursing and swearing may relieve it somewhat, but I'll still be fuming the next day. One thing that works very well is I try to surround myself with happy things. Watch a happy movie. Go out with a friend and talk it all out. Buy something nice for yourself, or for your family. If it's really bad, take a day off work to relax and recharge, and think what are the triggers that set off your anger, and how you can recognize it and prevent it in the future.

on 11/22/2005 When I'm angry, at my brother, parents or friends, I go to my room and swear. Swearing or shouting helps me to release my anger. If I'm really annoyed, a nice hot shower helps to calm me down. I think things over when I'm in the shower, it has a calming effect on me.
