Anger is
"an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to
intense fury and rage," The instinctive, natural way to express anger is
to respond aggressively. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing,
and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not
aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger. It means being
respectful of yourself and others. The goal of anger management is to reduce
both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes.
Simple
relaxation tools, such as deep breathing and relaxing imagery, can help calm
down angry feelings. Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions,
especially if you're about to erupt. If you feel your anger escalating, go for
a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other favorite physical
activities. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that can leave
you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out.
