How to cope with anger issues: Take control over yourself

Anger issues can create lots of problems in communication with people you love and respect.

While it's hard to change your personality completely, you still can take control over your emotions and stay calm.

That's what psychologists advise doing.

Practice deep breathing and relaxation techniques

When you feel anger building up, take slow, deep breaths. Focus on your breath and consciously release tension in your body. Incorporate relaxation techniques such as meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or yoga into your routine to help reduce overall stress and promote calmness.

Express yourself calmly

Learn and practice effective communication skills to express your feelings and concerns assertively and calmly. Use "I" statements to express your needs and emotions without blaming or attacking others. Effective communication can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce the likelihood of escalating conflicts.

Engage in physical activity

Regular physical exercise can be an effective outlet for anger and stress. Engage in activities such as jogging, swimming, dancing, or any form of exercise that you enjoy. 

Consider anger management programs or therapy

If your anger issues persist or significantly impact your life and relationships, consider seeking professional help.
