There are two type of angry people explosive and implosive;

Explosive is the type of individual you see screaming at the cashier for not taking his coupons. Implosive is the cashier who remains quiet day after day and then finally shoots everyone in the store.

Don’t get mad, don’t get even and learn to calm down. How ever this is difficult to do when your boss asks for a report way before the deadline. Experts tend to believe that anger is merely the symptom of a far deeper problem.

Some people are just chronically angry and in the habit of being angry. Giving in to their demands like offering an alcoholic drink. If you scratch below the surface, there’s a lot of pain and hurt that needs to be addressed.

When an emotion begins to hamper you and your family life, it’s time to seek the help of a counsellor. We should learn from our mistakes and cut down on expectations which set us up for disappointments.

Control anger before it controls you. Instead of slamming the door when you’re angry or throwing knives, learn to approach the problem in a straightforward manner.

Underneath every anger lies fear. Anger is nothing but a defence mechanism. An angry, young man is not charming; what you should aim for is a build-up of contagious energy, where you are contained and in acceptance of everything about yourself, including the emotion of anger.

Tips to manage Anger

- Relax, think of a place or a time that you particularly enjoy.

- Counting from 50 backwards shifts brain activity from the emotional to the analytical part of the brain, decreasing the intensity of the unwanted emotion.

- Laugh often and watch movies that tickle your funny bone.

- Don’t jump to conclusions. Listen to others.

- Instead of revisiting hurtful events in your mind, forgive the person who wronged you.

- Have a healthy diet. Adequate vitamins are vital for your body.

- With children, don’t over stimulate them with school, hobbies and tennis lessons. A child needs time to relax.

1. Change the cause of emotion. Fix the thoughts, fix the emotions. Circumstances do not cause emotions – rather, your thoughts and attitudes about those circumstances do. The only exception is when emotion is driven by a physical chemical imbalance in the brain, which can be identified and treated effectively with medication.
2. Realize that thought is not the same as logic. Logic is a system for reasoning, and reasoning is what you do with your thoughts. You may be brilliant at handling your thoughts, but what thoughts are you handling? Even if your thoughts are accurate, processing a dozen facts about a situation may well lead to error if you are unaware that an additional 99 facts are relevant.
3. Recognize that you have the right to have whatever feelings—and any emotion—you want to have. But you also have the right (and responsibility) to select and use thoughts that benefit and enrich your life, and those around you.
4. Re-think your attitudes about your circumstances—change your thoughts—and you will significantly change your feelings and emotions (at least enough to positively affect your daily life).
5. Increase your awareness of and look out for moments when you feel an irrational thought or attitude coming on. Recognize and identify that emotion, then ask yourself, “Where’s the proof in that?” or “What evidence do I have that validates this feeling?” Then use all of the knowledge, tools, and evidence at your disposal, and your best judgment to behave appropriately – to do otherwise cheats you.
6. Choose the right time and the right place to express your emotion. Controlling your emotions doesn’t mean ignoring them. It means you recognize them and act on them when you deem it appropriate, not randomly and uncontrollably.
7. Cultivate mindfulness
