Here’s a tip; If someone is insulting/hurting you (and it sounds silly but it works for me) put your hands over your chest (your heart) and think of your hands as armor, so no hurtful remark can get through.

I say… take kickboxing classes…

When you start feeling angry, try deep breathing, positive self-talk, or stopping your angry thoughts. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm. Slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “relax” or “take it easy.” Repeat it to yourself while breathing deeply until the anger subsides.

Although expressing anger is better than keeping it in, anger should be expressed in an appropriate way. Frequent outbursts of anger are often counter-productive and cause problems in relationships with others. Anger outbursts are also stressful to your nervous and cardiovascular systems and can make health problems worse. Learning how to use assertiveness is the healthy way to express your feelings, needs and preferences. Being assertive can be used in place of using anger in these situations.

Seek out the support of others. Talk through your feelings and try to work on changing your behaviors.

If you have trouble realizing when you are having angry thoughts, keep a log of when you feel angry.

Try to gain a different perspective by putting yourself in another’s place. Learn how to laugh at yourself and see humor in situations.

Practice good listening skills. Listening can help improve communication and can facilitate trusting feelings between people. This trust can help you deal with potentially hostile emotions.

Learn to assert yourself, expressing your feelings calmly and directly without becoming defensive, hostile or emotionally charged up. Consult self-help books on assertiveness or seek help from a professional therapist to learn how to use assertiveness and anger management skills.
