Tips on how to release anger

Tips

 * Using the anger release strategies is a good start for when you’re in the heat of the moment, but make sure that you also do the emotional work of examining and processing your anger. This will help you feel less angry to start with.
 * When you can, avoid situations that you know are strong triggers for your anger. For example, if you have very firm political or religious beliefs, try not to engage in conversations that may leave you feeling attacked and angry.
 * It’s often a good idea to see a therapist. Many people think that your problems have to be world-shattering before you need to seek mental health help, but seeing a therapist can also be good preventive care.
 * Check with your local university or community health center about anger management programs. Used in conjunction with the techniques here, these programs may help you feel less angry and react with less volatility.
 * Different people have different ways of releasing anger. Try many different methods until you find the one for you. Try using a punching bag, singing, or going for a massage, even using a sauna/steam room.
 * Running or doing push ups right after the situation helps, and benefits you mentally just as well as physically.
 * Talk to someone other than the person(s) involved about the situation.
 * Take up a sport or activity you really enjoy to take your mind off things. If you suffer from strong anger issues, it can be very beneficial to take up something physical where you can blow off steam safely.
 * If you become angry instantly, sit down if you are standing. Drinking water immediately also controls anger.
 * Listening to music tends to help a lot.
 * Talk to someone you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with.
