How to Control Anger and Frustration



Anger and Personality Growth


Although anger and frustration are normal emotions that everybody feels, extreme anger is harmful to your health and personality growth.


Your angry behavior and frustrated face convey many messages that don’t impart healthy signs on your personality.


Excessive angry mood degrades your personal development and is likely to have a negative impact on the way people perceive you. Moreover, you’re prone to make wrong decisions in frustration that can cause guilt and regret.


Thus, this article focuses on highlighting some useful tips to control anger and frustration.


5 Tips for Anger Control


1. Spit Out the Grudges

When you hold grudges in your heart, they proliferate the anger within you.


The best way to spit out the grudge is by forgiving people.


It’s a really effective tool that grants peace to the heart. On the other hand, keeping grudges and bitterness will only add to your frustration because they destroy none but who keeps them.


Moreover, grudges have an adverse effect on the personality as they obstruct your vision and thoughtfulness.


2. Think Before Speaking

Anger prevents you from thinking sensibly and making wise decisions.


You see nothing but your frustration lurking around your head; thus, aggravating the situation. It’s good to stay cautious about your words that you’ll remorse later.


Always think before speaking and ponder over your thoughts before letting your words out.


Your angry behavior may cause a developmental lag in your personality growth and may deficit your cognitive thinking abilities.

3. Learn to Stay Calm

Once you recognize that you feel angry, try to keep yourself calm and anticipate your triggers.


There are numerous ways to stay calm while you feel angry, such as deep breaths, wandering and strolling, and diverting attention.


Just keep in mind that your frustration won’t fix the problem; rather, it will worsen it further.


4. Practice Relaxation

Feeling relaxed can greatly reduce your angry mind. Take things easy, and don’t embark yourself onto an over-stressed journey.


Indulge yourself in doing something enjoyable and interesting that you feel passionate about.


Just don’t let frustration delve into your mind and encourage yourself to improve your behavior.


5. Use Humor to Relieve Anger

In a stressed routine, a chunk of humor and playfulness can play a vital role in diffusing your anger. Don’t run from anything; instead, face it in a humorous way. Research suggests that laughter and humor are closely linked to personal development.


Laughter helps the body relax by releasing endorphins – the body’s natural pain relievers.


It also helps increase brain activity, which is great in those situations where you need to think a lot.


Thus, laughing off at times of stress shows your ability to manage your anger, which is a good sign of personality growth.
