Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion and when\u00a0it is managed properly it is not a problem. Everyone gets angry, and mild\u00a0anger can sometimes be useful to deal with situations and express\u00a0strong feelings. However, if anger persists over a long period of time or\u00a0is expressed in harmful ways, then it can lead to problems in\u00a0relationships at home, school or at work and can affect the overall\u00a0quality of your life.<\/p>\n

What is anger?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anger is an emotion that can range from mild annoyance to intense rage.\u00a0It is a feeling that is accompanied by biological changes in your body.\u00a0When you get angry, your stress hormones are released, heart rate and\u00a0blood pressure rise. This can cause you to feel out of control, shake,\u00a0become hot and sweaty.<\/p>\n

When people have angry feelings, they often behave in angry ways too.\u00a0Angry behaviors include throwing things, criticizing, yelling, storming\u00a0out, ignoring and sometimes withdrawing and doing nothing. Anger is\u00a0often associated with frustration – people don’t always behave the way we think they should and things don’t always happen the way we want.\u00a0Anger is usually linked with other negative emotions or is a response to\u00a0them.<\/p>\n

Anger becomes a problem when it creates trouble for you with other\u00a0people, the law, your health, your work or day-to-day living. Anger is\u00a0also a problem when other people around you are frightened, hurt,\u00a0disagree or feel they cannot talk to you with you in case you become\u00a0angry.<\/p>\n

What is anger management?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anger management is about understanding your anger and why it\u00a0happens. It is about practicing or learning better ways of expressing\u00a0anger and knowing how to prevent it from occurring in the first place.<\/p>\n

Specifically, anger management is about early warning signs and\u00a0knowing the triggers of anger, and learning techniques to manage the\u00a0situation and calm down before it gets out of control.<\/p>\n

To manage your anger, the first step is being able to recognize the\u00a0situations that make you angry and identify your body’s warning signs of\u00a0anger.<\/p>\n

Your thinking can get irrational and exaggerated when you’re angry. Try\u00a0replacing these irrational thoughts with more useful, rational ones and\u00a0you should find that this has an effect on the way you feel.<\/p>\n

If you feel your anger getting out of control, take time out from a\u00a0situation or an argument. Try stepping out of the room, or going for a\u00a0walk.<\/p>\n

A useful strategy for managing anger is to distract your mind from the\u00a0situation that is making you angry. Try counting to ten, talking to a good\u00a0friend, playing soothing music, or focusing on a simple task like folding\u00a0laundry or polishing the car.<\/p>\n

Relaxation strategies can reduce the stress and feelings of tension in\u00a0your body. Practice strategies such as focusing on your breathing and\u00a0taking long deep breaths, or progressively working around your body\u00a0and relaxing your muscles as you go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
