What do you do to control your temper

I'm glad I don't have to answer that very difficult question... Because for one thing, I am pretty slow to anger. My friends alwasy ask me, when will I get angry. Well, I feel upset at times, but it seldom escalates to anger! Anyway, if ever I get angry, then I just get angry, well I have to because it is very rare for me to get angry so I grab the opportunity to be angry whenever I have one. Do I make any sense here? LOL

First of all, its not an easy task but it comes great with practice. Everytime you are angry or have a bad temper, just do this. First step : inhale, exhale. Do this for 10 minutes. Try to stretch your hands or just shake it while doing inhale and exhale. Second step : Think if you really need to raise or voice or not. Do you really have to be hysterical or talk to one person and just have a nice conversation. Third step: get your spiritual healthy. We noticed that when we are more closer to God we are also doing what he likes. God dont want us to be angry and hateful. God wants us to love one another. Fourth step : pray for guidance. I know being angry is hard to control, so always pray for the Lord's guidance. Fifth step: Talk to people, friends and ask them for advice. Treat yourself, go and relax and have some fun. More focus on yourself and you will see that it will make you deal with other people easily. Happy mylotting and smile always.

Well when you get angry try to divert your attention to something else learn how to vent your anger at something else yea

I do nothing to control my temper because I never get angry. I do not remember ever getting angry. For those who get angry, my advice is to get meditate. Meditation makes the mind fresh and throus out the negative elements. Through meditation, one can definitely get rid of one's temper. Meditation makes a person totally calm and cool.

hi dear,i am person who is not a all short tempered.but yes some things really irritate me and i get angry.what actually irritates me the most is asking for one thing again and again.i lose my temper if this happens to me and to control myself i mostly stop speaking to that particular person whosoever has irritated me. because i know if i speak to that person i will end into a big fight and it ends up spoiling everything.so i mostly donot speak to anyone for sometime.later when i find myself fine with the situation i speak to the person and let the person know what happened and it should be stopped.this works for me.hope it works for you too.just try to avoid speaking when you feel you are losing your temper.happy mylotting.

I girlfriend has an extremely short temper. She can almost go nut anytime. However, after making her meditate for a few month, she turned out much better now. 15-20 minutes/day.

I have a pretty short fuse here too. I try to take deep breaths, walk away, send the kids away to their room, or even call my MIL or Aunt and vent helps somewhat. But I took alot of cr@p/abuse from peers when I was young and stood silent and took it. I figure I'm grown and I'm going to speak my mind weather they like it or not, only problem is when one is angry they become impetious and have regrets on things they say out of frustration and anger. Darn it all, a person does have to stand up for themselves too! So I dunno, I try to watch it around my loved ones but in public if someone ticks me off I"ll perhaps say something snarky to them and walk away.

counting 1 to 10 before reacting to any arguments with anyone else including your spouse and children will at least help you calm down and think better ways in dealing with their words or actions. Trying to maintain your composure is really hard to do especially when your emotion is too high. Another thing is to avoid the so called "control mentality". Keep in mind that your children are also have their own sets of behaviors, trying to understand them why they behave that way or why they always do things that is not pleasing into your eyes will help you manage your temper. Lastly, kindly check yourself. Maybe, except your children, there are some crucial factors why you cannot easily control temper. For example, there are some issues in your life that you don't deal yet simply because you don't have enough courage to deal it and believe me it will greatly affect your behavior and the way you response to yourself and to others as well...

Walking away is good. I've heard about counting numbers but it really doesn't work for me. Another way is thinking about what will happen due to the anger and quarrels that you will have is also a very good option. Whenever I think about what I'm gonna lose because of my anger, it does subside. Wish you all the best with your anger management...

I usually walk away and go smoke or something but i do get irritaded more easily after the situation.

Frankly speaking my anger comes with tears in my eyes if the opposite character if a very close one of mine. But if he /she is not a close one then my anger will be completely shown on my face . Sometimes when i get angry i throw things which even break into pieces . Once i remember when i became angry i threw a tin of powder on the wall . That tin broke from the bottom and all the powder spread on the floor . Then i itself had to clean that mess later on . Like this many times many things i broke and later on even mended or cleaned it . Controlling anger is a thing which only we ourselves can control . Often it happens that even if one helps we wont be able to control it . Only one thing which till now i didnt understand about me is that , why sometimes when i become angry tears also roll from my eyes.

see temper is commonly can be finded in all human beings in this world. especialy when u have small childrens in your home... whenever u temper or angry on anyone in ur home jst close ur eyes and think about god once from your heart.i thnk ths is the best way to calm down it

realyy itz not guddd

for me,i could say that its hard for me to control my temper once i get annoy and when i am very angry to someone,i try to calm down my self in other way to avoid speak offensive words to that person,so sometimes if i can not control it i will just walk out.

I just have to walk away from whatever is making me mad most of the time. My temper gets hot quickly too. It is very hard to not go off on something. I don't do it though.

i usually walk away to control my temper. But before doing that i'm sure that the argument is quite finished. And walking away for some time makes you think of the situation quietly. hope i helped. Happy mylotting!

Thats not a issue it can be controlled.First think ' I donot have to react like this it can be in other way also'. And for that moment just stop think anything especially abt the issue make your mind blank your anxiety, excitement, anger everything drops down. This cant be done just gettingup one fine morning & think miracle happens.First day it is impossible ,second it is hard , third a little hard, next easy & so on it definetly becomes simple. Try it really worked on me.

I dont have a short temper, but my husband does. See when i get mad, i take a step back, take a deep breathe, and im okay. My husband is very hot headed, so he gets mad easy, but never at me really. He gets road rage so bad, and he'll try to chase the person down that cut him off, so i try and talk him down. I normally tell him its not worth it to be so mad, take a deep breathe and it will okay. things happen and you have to learn to just let it go. Maybe that person is just having a bad day and they didnt mean it? just try and relax, take a deep breathe and calm down. Things arent worth getting yourself so worked up over. Youll never enjoy life that way.
