Traffic James? When a co-workers miss deadlines? Uncooperative family member?
It's normal to get angry no w and then. Remember, though, that your anger management is with in your control.There are three ways to understand and manage your anger.
Physical. When your angry your body reacts. For example, when your teenager forgets to mow the lawn for the third time this month, you may tense your body and grit your teeth. To help your body release the physical anger, try to take a deep breathing exercise, going to brisk walk or listening to the soothing music.
Psychological: This is the emotional element of anger. It's how you feel, such as disappointment or discouraged. For help here, take a moment to identify why you're angry. maybe your upset because you think teenager is being disrespectful towards you. By identifying the emotional issue, you can address it; "when you don't do your chores, I feel like, you don't respect me enough to help'.
Cognitive: What do you tell your self as you became angry? If the message is negative- " My kids never do their chores" it can feed your anger. But if you adjust your inner message" My kids haven't done their chores, so I need to remind them", you can quiet your anger and address it in a healthy assertive way.
