Anger Management, Tips, Articles, Anger Management Classes, Movie

Y'know, if another person asks me that I swear my blood will boil it really will!...

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.

...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

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! (Ah, the joy of siblings! The joy of life without teen anger problems!) 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 anger management (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, even if that comes by way of anger articles, anger classes or that anger management movie

Managing Your Anger...

As ever, the first step in solving the problem is recognising that we have a problem. (Check out this toolkit to measure your anger, why don't you!)

For example, at first glance I know that I don't have any anger problems and I can't imagine myself ever attending one of those classes. I rarely get angry. I'm actually quite a calm and steady person. However I also know that I do suffer from road rage (and I hardly ever drive) and I also know that whenever I do get angry it stays with me for a very long time.

And just because the people you know deal with your odd moodiness, doesn't mean that you don't have a problem.

And then there are the obvious 'exploding head' candidates that you just want to run away from, fast!

(Of course it is possible that you don't get angry and that you don't have anger problems. In that case would you mind please sharing your 'angry management' tips with us? ;-) Contact us here!)

So, you recognise the problem with your angriness and then you take appropriate action. That could mean doing one of the following:

The thing is, problem-solving, whatever the problem, is not rocket science! Just recognise the problem, identify the solution, and put that solution into practice.

And the SelfHelpCollective.com isn't hear to provide you with all the answers (any answers, even) as the answer lies within you.

So I'll say no more for now about this now. Of course I welcome your (more or less expert) opinions on the subject - just fill in the contact us form! Or, tell us what makes you angry below...
