Resentment and anger can hold you back from achieving all that you are capable of in your life.
There are many steps that you can take to start healing yourself, but I have found three easy anger management tips to you started on a path of improving your well being and getting the most out of your life.
1.
Understand Your Anger - Take the time to really think about what is making your angry.
The underlying problem may or may not be obvious to you, but you will really want to look deep and think about what your underlying problem is.
If you need to, lock yourself in a quiet room with pen and paper or carry a voice recorder with you to make verbal notes to yourself and playback your recordings at the end of the day for introspecting.
I will give you one hint, the guy that cut you off on the way to work who then waived at you in an unfriendly way is not the real cause of your anger, it was just a trigger.
2.
Start To Think Positive - I know this sounds corny, but positive energy attracts more positive energy and negative energy does just the opposite.
Did you ever notice that when you flash a genuine smile at someone, they will more than likely smile back? On the other hand, if you start bashing someone behind their back, it is more than likely the rest of the group you are in will probably start talking bad along with you.
Every morning when you wake up, tell yourself you will be positive today and after a while it should just start to come naturally for you.
3.
Forgive Others and Ask For Forgiveness - It is easy to be bitter and carry around your anger with you instead of forgiving someone that hurt you, being the bigger person will allow you to move on to bigger and better things for yourself.
Forgive and forget is not just a saying, it really is true.
On the other hand, when you ask others for forgiveness you will not carry guilt with you for wronging someone.
This guilt could possibly lead to anger with yourself for not handling the situation differently.
