What You Can Do Right Now

It feels urgent! When you’re angry, or dealing with someone else’s anger, you want something to help right now. So, that’s where we’re going to start:

• Walk away. When your (or someone else’s) anger is escalating, you’re not going to get anywhere with arguing, fighting, etc. Take a break, walk outside, get some exercise, whatever you can do to break the angry mood and calm yourself down.

• Write it down. This is the absolute best, all time, immediately effective technique I know of–of course, you have to be willing to do it–find out more about anger journalling.

• Visualize your anger. If you can see an image in your mind of anger or rage, then you will be able to “See It Don’t Be It.” Learn more about managing your anger by working with a counselling therapist.
