Anger is a strong emotion that can lead to negative experiences if left unmanaged. For those who struggle with their tempers, it is essential to come up with a plan for managing anger. While techniques for controlling one’s temper are often related in court-ordered anger management classes, there are some simple tips you can follow today to gain control of your temper.

First, learn to relax. There are many ways of achieving relaxation, including deep breathing and visualizing happy, peaceful scenes. Anger is a mental state, and achieving mastery over it means gaining control of your thoughts.

Second, reach out to others for help. Friends and family are an excellent means of support when you are struggling with anger. Listen to their advice and suggestions. You may find that their experiences and the knowledge they’ve gained can help you address your anger issues.

Finally, create a strong plan for addressing your anger. Think actively about ways to control it every day. When you do lose your temper, consider the reasons why you lost it and come up with a plan to avoid doing so the next time that circumstance arises. Controlling your anger may seem challenging, but with active effort and a focused mind, you can learn to manage it.
