Anger Management

Y'know, if another person asks me that I swear my blood will boil it really will!... Ha ha. Actually, it is a good question and one I considered carefully as I researched this website.

Anger is such a harsh, stern word after all, and most of the other topics covered at SelfHelpCollective.com seem positive and upbeat. Well... the simple fact is...

...Not that there's anything wrong with anger, or being angry - annoying stuff happens to all of us, after all - but your anger does need to be managed.

And hopefully this page will at least point you in the right direction, and you might have the odd giggle too. (Do get involved, please, and tell us what you think!)

Anger Management

What the Self Help Collective says...

Well, this is what you'll find on the Self Help Collective website - anger wisdom of many, all carefully selected and commented on by me:

Anger management - what I say...

When it comes to anger, I can't help thinking (as you'll soon see) about the Buddha's thoughts. He said some wise stuff in his time, but this really hits home for me...

"Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else.
You are the one who gets burned." -- Buddha

I know, for example, that I don't do anger very well, right now - I'm not very good at controlling it. I don't express my anger at the right time and in the right place - I let it stew. For years and years and years, too! And then I'm on the look out for the first thing 'wrong' that that person does to me and blammo! - a mountain out of a molehill, an ugly scene, tears etc.

Ugly, ugly, ugly and so easily avoidable... with the management of anger (aka anger-management or anger managment).

So I know that it is me that suffers with this unexpressed anger and I am working on it (should you be concerned). But I bet I'm not the only one with such a problem. I reckon we probably all have anger problems and could all benefit from some helpful anger tips from time to time, or even that anger management movie.

And, perhaps, one of the best ways to manage your anger is to express it. And you can do that, express your anger, via the form below - tell us when you really 'lost it' and why...
