Hello renjinivinu!!! Well the more you react the more angry you become. And this becomes the habit and then you start to become angry again and again. so, the next time you become angry, try to just life down. Then see the feelings that come up in you while you are angry but do not react. Just look at the anger in the way it is. You will understand what the anger is. Realize that it is the worthless thing, that one has to leave out totally. Realize that it only brings more and more frustrations and nothing more. Realize that it is not the good way to solve any problem but opening the way for more and more problems. Slowly cool down with this feeling. Then make the habit of cooling down each time when you feel you are angry. Set up the habit, you have done it... Last time when I was in a function. I heard a speech in which the speaker said a story about the angryness, which I would like to share with you. Well once there was a very very angry boy. One day, his mother tried to teach him a lesson. Then he gave the bunch of nails and a hammer to the boy and asked him to hit the nails on a wooden box each time he is angry. So in a day, he had to hit more than 30 nails on that wood. After doing that again and again, he could control his anger. Then his mother asked him to pick up those nails one by one whenever he feel happy. And he did it. Then his mother showed him the holes on that wood and said, "Look at the result of your angryness. Though it seems that you have controlled your anger, the hole in the wood is not really patched up. It is still there. It has not recovered. " So this story depicts how bad the anger can be... so be cool, enjoy life... happy mylotting...

Even I get angry very angry and keep shouting at my husband...Most of the time I am at fault...so the best thing I do is read the holy book and pray that I should not repeat it again...sometimes I ask "Sorry" and it makes me feel better.

I think you should distract yourself from your daily routine. Do you have enough time for yourself?Maybe you should find some time to dedicate to things you like doing such as a hobby. What you can also do is to stay a bit alone and think about what is making you feel this way. Maybe you need a small break such as a holiday or something. But definately I would seek an advice from someone professional so you be sure to identify the problem and solve it in the best of ways. Goodluck!!

Is something bothering you in your life at the moment? Are you not satisfied with anything? If you are unhappy with anything, try to work it out. Otherwise, it will bottled up and burst with just minor trigger. It's good that you realise you are getting angry at the drop of a pin. The next time you get angry, just walk away into some place calm and look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you dont want to be angry anymore. Otherwise, you might drive all your mates away and end up lonely. You wont want that to happen. If worst case scenario, you might want to enrol yourself to some Anger Management class to control your anger. Good luck!

dont sweat the small stuff, count to one hundred, take a deep breath, then sing singing words of wisdom mother mary says let it be, let it be. then just let it be a nd walk away if you can. never go to bed angry at your mate. work it out,tell him or her y ou ]love them and you can work it out together, then do it. let it be.

when I feel anger, I will keep quite and try to sleep and stay my best not to say anything. I will lower my gaze and show I'm tired and I need to be alone. You should know the reason why you kept feeling anger and try to minimize the cause. If you cannot, find other alternatives to divert your anger, like doing sport. I like the phrase from legally blond ' exercise gives you endorphin, endorphine makes you feel happy, happy person will not kill their husband', or something along the line. What I mean is that do something that make you happy. Hope this help. happy Mylotting.

maybe you are too tired from everything and you need a rest.. if no, so why are you angry? sometimes it is the hormons fault, if yes, than it will goes back soon. when you are angry try to go for a walk, do not talk (because you will say no good words and will feel very bad later about this). for example, when i am very angry i have too much energy, than i am tideing my room, go to a park or somewhere where you like ALONE or running.. before i have had a boxing bag so i was listening hard and loud music and boxing at a same time.. it was very helpful to me.

it's not about controlling anger. It can never be controlled, my friend. Release it through another escape. Breath, and feel which part of your body is bothered by that anger. concentrate on that, it spends time and effort, but it gives you time to evade the irrational decisions that you would have taken. It's a form of relaxation, a unique form. it's not yoga, but i find it very effective.

I am not a short-tempered person, but when I was going through a stressful life a few months ago, I would get angry easily. If there are something bothering you or because of hectic lifestyle, try considering going for holidays. Tell your friends about your problem so that they will know how to react when you're losing control of your temper.

Whenever you become angry u count from 1 to 10 slowly. It will go off,otherwise continue counting till it goes. It has helped me a lot. Otherwise pray god sun in the morning by offering water to the sun. It slowly takes off your anger.

yes,everyone has the diffient emotions when they met the thing what will happen to them.it is difficult to control the emotion,exprecially the anger someone will get hurt.when I am anger and something will be on the tip of my tongue,I make a deep breath,then it will be better.and sometims I feel sad and anger and just let me alone,listen some soft music and I will feel better.

You must take a deep breath as soon as you start feeling angry. Keep a poster that reminds you to deep breathe and let out that anger in front of you so that you do not forget.
