There's nothing wrong with getting angry. How you express it is what it's all about.
Difficulty: Hard
Time Required: 30 minutes
Here's How:
- If you're too angry to think rationally, remove yourself from the situation.
- Give yourself a few quiet minutes alone to cool down. Think of something relaxing.
- When you feel your body relax, take a few deep breaths.
- Return to the original situation and try a different approach.
- If your new approach doesn't help you stay in control of your temper, repeat steps 1-4
Tips:
- Find something that relaxes you (music, skateboarding, drawing, etc.) and do it regularly.
- If you've got a problem with someone, don't hold it inside, let him/her know about it.
