At certain point in life, people make mistakes, anger blossom, abuses are hurled, words put into actions and we just cannot take back what we've said or done. This is why everyone needs anger management. Due to my fruitful experiences in flaring up and losing important people along the way, I soon came to realize that getting angry would bring us nowhere. It is an act of childishness. There is no need to fight against people who enjoy seeing you sinking deep into your emotions. In fact, there are brilliant ways to get your anger out and yet not hurting anyone around you.
Note: these are MY ways, it might not apply to you.
Before getting those ugly words out of your mouth or painful actions into someone else's body.....
Number 1 - this is the basic method.
a. Take a deep breath.
b. Count 1.
c. Take another deep breath.
d. Increase your count.
e. Repeat Step c and d until it reaches 20s.
Result: You have been relaxed, please don't think about it again. Matter Resolved.
Number 2 - this is a role-playing method.
a. Rehearse what you are going to say next within yourself.
b. Predict what the person might say next.
c. Prepare another counterattack.
d. Repeat Step b and c.
Result: What is the last thing that person said again? Please don't think about it again. Matter Resolved.
Number 3 - this is the singing method.
a. Think of a song that could express your feelings.
b. Use one of the song lyrics.
c. Say it out.
d. Wait for the person's response.
e. Repeat Step a - d.
Result: You had already made a fool of that person and you will also find it so fun that you forgotten about the anger. Matter Resolved.
Number 3 - this is the sarcastic method.
a. Analyze the person's insult.
b. Think of a cool and decent reply.
c. Put a smiley face.
d. Wait for the person's response.
e. Repeat Step a - d.
Result: The person will get angrier and angrier (if he/she recognizes the sarcasm) and you will laughing out loud! If the person just let it go, even better! Matter Resolved.
Number 3 - this is being a coward method.
a. If you are on the phone, hang up. Or else, skip to Step b.
b. If you are online, sign out. Or else, skip to Step c.
c. If you are reading a letter, put it down (don't burn it or else you might regret later on). Or else, skip to Step d.
d. If you are face-to-facing, runaway. Or else, skip to Step e.
e. If you are on the bed, get out. Or else, skip to Step f.
g. You failed this method.
Result: Running away from a problem is not necessary the worst solution! Sometimes it just made the other party more furious! You win! Anyway, just give it some time.. Matter will be Resolved (sooner or later).
TRY IT!
