If you feel angry, try to offer a silent prayer. Prayer gives us comfort, calms our mood, and peace in our mind. You don't need to speak if you're praying. You can just pray through your thoughts and heart. Try this and you'll be surprised that it works. This is the method that really works for me when I'm trying to control my anger problems. It also makes us closer to God and chance to increase our faith in Him.

I agree that prayer gives us comfort,calms our mood and have peace in our mind. And also makes us closer to our God. But before praying to God, first I keep silent then swallow my saliva, take a dept breath then pray to God, it really works.

Walk away from the situation that makes you angry, if you can. And examine what made you angry. Is it really what's happening at the moment, or does it trigger a scary memory, or past abuse of some kind, or a past disappointment

Yes, I agree with you. This will help reduce anger. Underlying anger is caused by a perceived loss of control over factors affecting important values. Take several deep breaths, count to ten, walk away is another method to reduce, think of the consequences of your anger, do "Self" talk, stop and handle the angry feelings, ask for help, think of other ways to handle the dispute or try to talk it out.

I do the same thing too.. we have our ways to release our anger..especially when no one can understand the real cause of why a person get angry or what had made him to become one.. Aside from what have you stated..some do release their anger by hurting themselves.. wherein he feel relieved in that form of expression.. it depends on the person how he release his anger..but whenever anger comes out? you cannot properly think the best solution on the problem..

I have a way of reducing anger that I always use but I don't know if it can help you or not. When I am angry, I would look into the sky and ask myself, "do you know the god always watching you?". The God is looking at us all the time and he doesn't like to us to be angry because anger is the cause of many evil things in the world. you could hurt or even kill someone when you are angry. So, my way of reducing anger is to think of God.
