Controlling Your Anger

We all get angry from time to time. We may raise our voice or get quiet, we may throw things, or simply keep it all inside. Some of these things are more appropriate than others. Anger brings on an on spurt of energy and we must release it. Some of these releases may disrupt the lives of others. I'll show you some things you can do that may help release that energy.

Tone Of Voice

Tone of voice can have a big effect on people. If you are yelling at someone, it will almost always bring a negative result of some kind. Some may say that it is necessary for them to yell to be taken seriously. Many times, we can achieve the same effect by a certain look or a sharp (not loud) voice. The results are often the same as if you had raised your voice but you didn't have to make the other party feel bad or upset them.

Remove Yourself

There is nothing wrong with removing yourself from the situation. (ie: walking out of the room, etc.) Staying put often results in us saying or doing something in the heat of anger that we end up regretting.  How many times have you done that?  Take a powder man. Remove yourself.

Don't Drive Your Car

Getting all mad and jumping in your car is almost NEVER a good idea.  Do you know how many idiots get in accidents when they get all angry and jump in their car?  It's likely you'll squeal the tires coming out of the driveway or parking lot and floor the pedal.  Not only are you endangering your own life and property but the lives and property of others.  Stay out of the driver's seat.
