Managing anger is not an easy task. My humble self had to battle with this monster that can cause friction between you and people around you. After applying the steps below, I started observing improvements in my relationship with people around me...family members/relatives, co-workers, neighbours, friends, etc. I just feel these steps can help people who are facing similar issues, so I decided to open this thread so others who have temper issues would learn. Thanks to Awake Magazine which has been very educating. The following are the steps to tame your temper:

1. Make a goal: instead of saying, 'that's just the way I am', strive to improve within a specified period of 6 months. During that period, keep a record of your progress. Each time you lose your temper, write down (1)what happened (2) how you reacted, and (3) how you could have reacted- and why. Make it a duty to use that better reaction the next time you are provoked.

2. Wait before reacting: When someone or something angers you, do not say the first thing that comes to your mind. Instead, wait, take a deep breath if necessary. If you say the first thing that comes to your mind, you may later regret it!

3. Expand your view: Sometimes, you might become angry because you see only one aspect of the issue - the part that affects you. Try to consider the other side of the matter.

4. If necessary, walk away: it is very wise to walk away before the quarrel breaks out. It is best to walk out away from a volatile situation. Then, rather than dwelling over the matter and letting your anger build even more , get active.

5. Learn to let go: if you allow others to provoke you all the time, you give them power over you and your emotions! Why not try to be mature and overlook the matter. If you do, you will be controlling your anger rather than letting your anger control you.

Please, be mature and open minded towards this thread. We can also use this medium to relate our anger issues because I believe there are others too, who have faced similar cases.

Happy New Year to you all!!!

She must have left in fear. The truth is that people try as much as possible to avoid those with fiery temper...they are scared. Pele, I hope she believes you. Look for better ways to let her see the changes. Success!!!

i gave her something better.

my guy this is a nice work, people who are yet to realise themselves may not appreciate this, and on a serious note we all need it, in an environment like ours, almost everyone can fall victim of anger, people around, economy, even government can make you mad. All of us have this issue, only at different level. Promise to add more to this from my personal anger treatment.
