Anger is a normal response to situations that overwhelm us or feel unjust. Succumbing to anger or being unable to manage the fallout from the negativity in life often leads to regret and greater despair. But we can all take the following simple steps to feel more in control. 1. Identify subliminal as well as obvious signs In many circumstances, anger leads to lapses in concentration, insomnia and depression, as well as more typical fits of rage: 2. Acknowledge your feelings and validate the reasons for your anger Reflect on the reasons for your reactions and determine if the response is tied with a particular situation or a more profound urge or sentiment 3. Accept what you can and can't do about it Consequentially, you'll be more in control and better placed to manage the circumstances 4. Channel your energy and express yourself Consider meditative techniques, sports, physical and metal exercices 5. Avoid drugs and alcohol Substances which amplify and disturb your emotional balance will hinder your capacity to take action and aggravate the negativity that you already feel. 6. Seek counselling or join a support group This could be a fundamental step if the source is elusive or difficult and slow to treat
