10 Things to do When You are Angry

You get furious when someone cuts you off in traffic? Does your blood pressure rise when your child disobeys? Anger is normal and healthy.

1. Think before speaking

People often say things they subsequently regret in the heat of the moment. Pause to gather your thoughts before speaking. Let others participate too.

2. When calm, voice your concerns

After thinking rationally, voice your frustration assertively but nonconfrontationally. Communicate your needs without hurting or controlling people.

3. Exercise

Exercise helps lessen stress and anger. Take a quick walk or run if your fury is rising. Or undertake other fun physical activities.

4. Take a timeout

Not just kids use timeouts. Take small pauses during stressful situations. Some peaceful time may help you handle what's next without feeling upset or agitated.

Instead than focusing on what got you furious, fix the problem. Are you upset by your child's filthy room? Close the door. Is your partner always late to dinner? Evening dinners. Consider eating alone a few times a week.

Blaming or criticizing may escalate conflict. Instead, describe the issue with "I" sentences. Be polite and specific. Say "I'm upset that you left the table without offering to help with the dishes" instead of "You never do any housework."
