How do you let go of anger?

that depends on how bad the situation was. if it was a fight you had with a friend then no more than a couple of days but if it was something seriously major you can have it for awhile. it's still not a good idea to harbor that anger. and yes it can cause serious health problems. anger is a form of negative stress, it can give you headaches, make you sick. it's even linked to greater risk for heart attacks.

Yep. I believe anything is possible. Especially this. I used to be very angry myself. Anger management classes didn't work. They pissed me off even more. But through years of therapy, and counseling i learned how to find happiness within myself, and find other more positive healthy ways of expressing myself. I learned that it's okay to be angry. Everyone gets that way whether they want to believe it or not. But anyways, yes of course you can always change yourself. I found peace in writing poetry. and listening to relaxing music. So that's what i do when i'm flustered. I write how i'm feeling. It may be some ugly and harsh poetry but in the end i feel alot better. So what i would suggest is find something you like to do, and find peace in that. Good Luck to ya.

Violence - Get a punching bag & beat the crap out of it. It will help relieve the anger and hate for a while. Hit the gym hard, work out your emotional pain physically. You will be too tired to be bitter. \n\nRemember the beautiful things in life and go visit scenery that makes you happy. Be with people who make you happy-friends,family \n\nhope it works out.\n\nMy bitterness & hate is only for one person- my ex. Those things help me for a bit.

Encourage him to get some counseling and some anger management classes. Unfortunately, there is nothing else you can do. He needs to make strides to get himself emotionally better. And the pain is not going to just go away, he needs to talk to a trained professional that will assist him in dealing with his feelings and moving forward with his life. Good luck and God bless*

I think anger comes from hurt. Something's probably hurting you and anger & annoyance is your outlet for it.   My mom used to tell me that getting angry does not hurt the one you're angry at, but eats you inside. It made me mad when she said that (lol) but I think she was right. I wish I had some constructive advice for you, because just saying "let it go" is easy to say, but doing it is hard. the only thing I do, is when I catch myself feeling that way is to ask myself "is this even going to matter in 5 years" and most of the time it's no, and I doubt I will even remember it in 5 years, so then my annoyance kind of slips away, because it doesn't matter!

i was also like you. people say count numbers etc then also you cant but there is a way which i follow see when you get irritated by any thing or any body if they are in front of you, suddenly stop arguing with them and close your eyes and leave the place. and watch the things that you love and which you feel sensitive.hold them and sit in a no one place and watch the surroundings then your mind will not think about your anger imagine lovable things of yourself and inside you create some beautiful things surrounding, nature or god if you are religious, and remember you childhood days and  mischiefs etc try to make a smile on your face. you will forget you anger. i hope you will practice it. bi

Are we controling YOUR anger or someone elses? If its you, When you feel a fight coming on. WALK AWAY. Don't yell, scream, hit...Nothing, just walk away. If its somebody else, Same theory applies. When you see the fight brewing. Leave the room. \n & joine ART OF LIVING FOUNDATION COURSES.

I try to figure out why I am angry.  Sometimes what I think I am angry about is not the real reason I'm angry.  \n\nAfter I determine why I'm angry, I try to understand what all my options are for changing the situation that I reacted to in anger.  I will prioritize them by the likely hood of their helping to relieve my anger.  \n\nThen I will set out to try to do all I can do to change the situation, and also, to dispel the physical aspect of the effects of the anger.  (Drumming works well, as does walking, writing, talking with someone I trust about the problem, etc.)\n\nGood luck to you.

Anger is a normal human emotion, so no, there isn't a way to avoid it. \n\nThere is a fine line between anger and rage however. Rage is what happens when you lash out, verbally or physically as a response to anger.\n\nTo avoid rage, stop, take deep breaths, in through your nose, out through your mouth and count to 10. Or walk away, or both.  Deal with what ever situation P'd you off later, when you are calmer.

Its hard to really see what is wrong here.. but ur best way of leaving anger is to walk away, relax..think everything through..and then come back and work things out..when i say leave i mean just be alone for like an hour or sooo.. this should work.. but if its relationship problems that ur having, with some addiction... u have to be reasonable and help that person out..in a way that they see u care..they have to care as well thoooo..and if they are willing to overcome their addiction be there to support themm.... but show them that u will not be with that person if they do not stop what their doingggg...u have to be strong, and yet understanding... but not easy to trick... good luckk

1- Learn about God and his mercy. \n\n2- Accept the fact that your actions are the reason why things are the way they are. Blaming someone or somebody does nothing for you. \n\n3-Your action to a situation will bring back to you a reaction. Ask yourself, Do I want a positive reaction or a negative reaction?\n\n4-Seek wisdom. Surround yourself with good and wise people. People that are successful in life.\n\nOnce you understand how impacting your actions are to others, to the world, you then become more responsible. And Responsibility is having hope and control.\n\nAnger is nothing more than lack of knowledge, hope and control.\n\nWe need to understand that there is not such thing as anger management.  We need Anger Solutions!

Anger, like any other emotion, is specific to the individual.\n\nIf you can understand the thing that sets your husband off, you can probably figure out how to remove that thing.\n\nSometimes - in men especially - anger is a very superficial emotion that covers "hurt" and "sadness".\nperhaps what your looking for is there.

You totally can.  For starters, stop saying that you can't.  You must believe you can.  You destroy your opportunity to contol your anger if you don't believe/UNDERSTAND that you CAN.  If you're angy, tackle the reasons.  It may not be other people making you angry but rather... your perception of other people that makes you angry.  For instance, some driver is being STUPID on the road.  Who cares?  There are STUPID people all around... and some smart people too... and some mean people and some rich people and so on.  You can let things BUG you or you can NOT let things bug you.  You have COMPLETE control over your emotions.  If you didn't, who does?  Who has more contol over YOUR emtions than you yourself?  Understand?

Remove myself from the situation, take a walk, take a drive, if you can't go anywhere else, just go to the bathroom, shut the door, wave your arms and scream silently.  Take deep breaths.  Listen to your very favorite music.  Everyone has to find their own combination for what works.
