7 fantastic anger management tips


Experiencing anger is extremely dangerous to your health. It causes your adrenaline and blood pressure to rise up at above normal levels. Moreover, you could end up hurting someone or doing something that you will regret later on. Here are 7 fantastic anger management tips to help you be the one in control of yourself, and not the hazardous madman called “Anger.”

1) Relax and visualize.
Calm yourself down. Take a deep breath. As you exhale, imagine all those bottled-up fury come out of your nose and mouth. Release it and be free. Repeat this step over and over until you feel peace inside.
Then visualize being in a place where you feel most happy, calm, and relaxed. It may be a place like a beach, garden, scenic locations, or anywhere else you might think of. Just imagine being there and inhaling the essence of your serene environment. By doing this, you will not find it hard to attain inner peace.

2) Pour out your anger to safe outlets.
You had a big quarrel with your former friend. He betrayed your trust. You want vengeance and you’re raving mad.
Hold it. Restrain yourself.
Try your best to get away from him as far as you can. You don’t want to hurt anyone. Anger can possess your brain into doing something that you wouldn’t dare do before.
How do you then release your anger if you can’t restrict it anymore?
Buy a punching bag, then pour out all your rage in it. Punch it, kick it, strangle it. Imagine the punching bag is your enemy. When you’re done, you will feel a sense of satisfaction. You may even punch and kick through thin air if you desire.
Another anger management technique is to “SHOUT!” Find a distant place where you can be alone – a place where no one can hear you. At the top of your voice, yell out loud “Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.” You can choose any word you like as long as you release all those angry demons out of your chest.

3) Forgive and forget.
Nothing could ease your mental and emotional pains better than by forgiving someone that has hurt you in the past. It is very unhealthy to burden yourself with unnecessary torture brought about by unpleasant memories of other people’s demeaning acts.
Moreover, if they have taken something important away from you, would it make sense to also sacrifice your health and lifestyle? Of course not.

4) Exercise.
Engaging in exercises increases your endorphins. Your angry mood could miraculously change to a happy one if you get involved in exercises that you enjoy doing.

5) Have a circle of “sponge” friends.
Do you feel relieved when you voice out all your problems to close friends and relatives? That’s the power of voicing out your inner feelings.
Always have someone to talk to when you’re down, when you’re depressed, when you’re mad, or in any other occasion when you feel you have to get the thorns out of your chest. It’s also a good anger management technique because your friend can help you calm down, and find a possible resolution to your situation.

6) Listen to soothing music.
It calms your soul. A 20 minute session of listening to relaxing music while resting comfortably could soothe the upset spirit. Take deep breaths often.

7) Pray.
Deadly consequences arise when people could not hold back their fury. Ask for guidance that you will be able to control your temper. Prayers bring inner peace to those who ask for it.
There you have it – 7 essential anger management techniques to release yourself from the treacherous killer known as “Anger.” Manage your anger, save your life.

angry professor





Turns out when you're in college, your parents don't generally know your class schedule. This means that they don't know you're in class. However, I agree, this guy was a dick for staying on the phone, especially in what appears to be the first or second lesson of the year. Great way to make an impression at the start of the class, get your phone smashed by your prof :D


Well if he's filming the class to rewatch and have the class on record then I guess it's fine, it's not like he's messing around. The teacher can't claim he's doing something wrong since he's only recording what's happening which in his defence could be educational. Maybe the class was taped by another teacher? You never know. Class observartion happens sometimes.
I hate when people have cell phones in class.


I think it's so rude when people don't switch their phones off..

Go professor Go!!!!

I loose my patients and so does he...it Makes Me REALLY Angry

this is what happens to me this morning.......

=======================================

My son is 9, he is in fourth grade, last night was only our second night of homework and it ended in total frustration on both our parts. I asked him what he was surrposed to do with two of his assignments and he said he didnt know, I asked didnt your teacher tell you or explain to you what to do. He said no. But I emailed the teacher and as I expected she had explained it. She said he would rather play with his pencil or look around the room and do things his way. I am so frustrated and disappointed in myself because I get angry with him. I loose my patients and so does he, but I know it is because he is so like me.

Someone once told me not to pray for patients is that true, cause right now I need it alot!

any one have any good ideas on how I can get him to pay better attention in school.


----------------------------



I think first you need to try to figure out why he's not paying attention...and that's easier said than done, I know. For me, I was so bored. because I wasn't being challenged. Literally, I would doodle while the teacher was talking. I remember once the teacher (who noticed, for once) asked me to repeat what she'd said. I parroted it back like it was nothing new. She was so bewildered that I'd actually been able to focus on what she'd said while also focusing on the doodles. Anyway, long story short, I wasn't giving it my FULL attention because I was bored (but I wasn't in advanced placement classes because I wouldn't do my homework...for the same reason).

The other thing it could be is that he feels daunted and that's his coping mechanism.

Anyway, there are a plethora of other things it could be...I think you need to be a listening ear, and maybe have a conversation casually about it...see if he'll open up enough to actually tell you how he feels (I know, at that age they're so reticient...but if you listen long enough and patiently enough and assure them that you're not going to get mad kids that age often will take the opportunity). Or maybe if you talk to another adult your son's close to (a youth pastor? an uncle? someone else?) to see if they can weed out the answer...

If there doesn't seem to be a way to get him to open up, it may be time to sit down with the teacher about the issue (personally, I wouldn't tell him you're going to do this, if possible...whenever my parents told me that sort of thing I got defensive and would spend hours sweating about what they were talking about...I'm telling you, it stressed me SO much).

Some other things to watch for are:

- Does the teacher even seem willing to investigate the matter or are they just fed up? Maybe it's time for a class or school change if they're not willing to do that. But they may well be willing to help, so long as you act as a partner with them in this, and don't point fingers.

- Does he seem very tired a lot of the time? Maybe there's something going on with his sleep habits (waking because of nightmares? just not sleeping long enough?).

- How does he feel about the teacher? How does the teacher feel about him? I know a lot of kids will say they hate their teachers by virtue of them being teachers...but closely question why they feel this way and you may be able to discover what's really going on. Sometimes there are just personality differences that are hard for both to overcome...again, maybe a class change may help.

another answer


i sure remember those days - 3 straight years i had a battle most nights with my son. i've heard most parents say they dreaded the summer vacation. for me, it was the opposite. i tried everything. the last thing i did was to make him stay at the table until he finished the homework. he literally sat there from the time he got home from school until time for bed. nothing would move him to make him do the homework.

long story short, he still graduated high school on time. some kids don't need homework is all i can guess. unless he's failing, i wouldn't make a big deal out of it. if he is, i would recommend a tutor or at least another helper besides you. i assure you, the frustration is not worth it.


--------------


I am not big on testing a child, but I have to ask, has he been tested to see how he learns best? I could not learn in a classroom setting, acting the same way your son is acting. I learned best by hands on. That is why I did lousy in English ... no way to have a hands on in English. Is there a way to make the lessons more interesting to him? You did not mention the subject, so I can not give specific examples to my suggestion.

As for the anger ... been there. My youngest son was a class clown. Failed the 8th grade twice and quit school at 16. He is not stupid, by any means. He was bored, did not learn will in a classroom (as I) and felt "stupid" because of this, which transformed into him being angry with anyone who wanted to help. I eventually had to find someone else to assist him. I later found out that he was embarrassed that he did not know the subject. It was me that he was embarrassed toward.

There is not easy answer. It is a process to find out why. Start with the guidance counselors at school to see if it is, in fact, how he learns best that is the issue.

Anger Management Why it Makes Me REALLY Angry




anger management and why it makes me angry. I just think the whole concept of anger management implies that anger is bad, anger is wrong, and in fact underneath that is that all emotions are bad and all emotions are wrong. I think the point about anger management, the point about dealing with anger is actually anger needs to be expressed, but it needs to expressed properly, appropriately, and in a way that's not going to hurt people. so try to find a person you can express that with, or a place you can express that. and maybe it's working it out at the gym, or maybe it's talking to a men's group or women's group about it. find some way that you can express your anger rather than try to bottle up your anger.
