The best way to handle anger is to have a optimistic outlook on everything. Here are some ways how you can deal with it.
Try to stay silent
Silence is an efficient tool in anger-like situations. Remaining silent will not mean that you are weaker than the opposite person. However, it will definitely reduce the aggravation that is generated in case of an argument. This would not be easy but it can be achieved by proper understanding. So stay silent for the benefit of your own self as well as the others. It is very well said by Lord Buddha, the preacher of peace, that to get rid of suffering you need to understand the reasons of it. This is exactly what you need to do while remaining silent and not to make more cobwebs of the skirmish, tension or argument you have had.
Spend some time alone
After you have faced a situation where you have thrown your wrath on others, try and give some time to yourself alone. It does not mean loneliness. Loneliness in such a situation could aggravate the situation. It is the time to introspect, to control your anger and try to analyze why you got angry. Was it really needed? Was it possible to turn around the things without getting angry? What was the alternative available? For someone who is ready to break down his/her ego, introspection will definitely give the answers to the above questions. Maybe you were right but you need to understand that every individual is different and hence, it is very much possible that everyone has a different point of view. Thinking in this manner and figuring out the different possibilities, you can conquer you emotion. You should also go for a vacation once in a while, just in order to relax in today’s busy lifestyle.
Talk it out with your close ones
We all understand that when we are angry we neither want to talk to anyone nor we are ready to listen to anyone. No problem with that. But once you have cooled off, it is very much necessary to search for a cure for this emotion to avoid it in future. In this situation, talking out to your close ones will prove beneficial. So, talk to someone who understands you, who can frankly point out your weaknesses and will not hesitate to tell you that where you were wrong. Talking out the situation smartly will help you understand how you can overcome your anger in future, irrespective of whether you are right or wrong.
Be brave and have a positive attitude
Anger, in most of the cases, is a negative emotion. This negativity not only affects us but also others. Cut this negativity with your positive attitude. The foremost requirement is to break down your ego that could worsen the situations. Once you have lost your temper and have cooled down a bit, approach the person on whom got angry. Speak to him normally in a sporty way. Work out the situation well with him/her. Do understand this fact that if you have certain expectation, the opposite person also has some. Have a broader mindset and a positive attitude. This will not trigger a change in you overnight. It is more of an exercise and believing that you can change. And you need to constantly meditate over it. Sportingly, reduce your expectations towards others on different topics and hear them out. Maybe your point is right, but even if they do not agree, let them go with their opinion. Be ready to support them; if you are right, they will definitely understand you someday. This exercise can give great results only with constant efforts. Have the courage to initiate such an activity.
Consult a specialist
Anger being a tricky emotion can have different faces in different situations and with different people. Hence, its nature is unpredictable and quite confusing if one tries to understand it. Also, it is possible that you could find it difficult to talk it out with someone. In such a case, when you are left without options, it will be better to consult a specialist. Approach a consultant in your locality and explain your case entirely. They will definitely be able to suggest you the best solution that suits your case. To get the most of them, make sure that you explain every aspect yourself to them clearly. Remember, it is not at all wise to hesitate while narrating your situation to the specialist.
