    About Anger

    Nearly anyone and everyone – people of all ages worldwide – is prone to displays of anger. The degree of frequency and level of intensity of the emotion are what vary most and most often result in how well a person handles the anger and whether there are positive or negative results.

    A key to those who successfully manage anger is gaining control. And in order to gain control over the emotion, it helps to first take a look at anger itself, what it is and how to deal with it effectively.

    Anger is an emotion. It can be triggered by a variety of things, issues, people, places, etc. Some of the top triggers are jealousy, confrontations, failure, greed, fear, low self-esteem, assertiveness, feeling threatened and pain.

    When a person gets angry, the negative emotion can actually harm the person’s physical and emotional well-being. The heart rate increases, stress levels rise, and often a fight or flight reaction is the immediate response, neither one always presenting a healthy alternative.

    What counters anger best is to be prepared in advance to learn major triggers, how to tell when they are about to happen, when possible, so as to avoid them, plus a variety of coping skills in order to deal with what is necessary. To help, keep a private journal to note any anger triggers, ways to possibly avoid confrontations down the road and possible coping techniques to try. You can use the following triggers, coping techniques and helpful tips as a good starting point.

    Trips Your Trigger
    When you’re calm, make a list of things, people, places, events, etc. that tend to trip your trigger:

    Calling businesses and getting automated menus to choose form that run you in circles, accomplishing nothing productive.
    Handling angry customer service calls
    Going to visit in-laws
    Heavy traffic during rush hour
    Loosing with my Mutual Funds account in the stock market

    Anger Aids
    List ways to deal with anger when you’re have a positive frame of mind and are in a good mood, to spark better creativity:

    Cool off with ice cream – As simplistic as this sounds, something cool and soothing can often help take the heat off the moment and begin cooling the entire body down.

    Take a hike or walk – Taking a step back, away from it all, can do wonders to give you a more world-view of the situation. Being in the center of issues can make them seem larger than they really are, making the proverbial mountains out of molehills.

    Dance – Let it all out via your own expression. Dance to the beat of the music of your choice.

    Write it out - Journal and create a column of ‘lemons’ along with another column alongside for solutions or ‘lemonade.’

    Avoid / alter path of destruction in advance – Take a different route during rush hour or alter your schedule.


    By planning, you can prepare yourself in advance. Plan and conquer, and keep at the process on a regular basis.
