Anger is a natural part of being human, and it is normal to lose one’s cool every once in a while. But when you constantly explode like a bomb with the least of provocations, it is no longer natural. Anger eventually could take a physical and emotional toll. Anger causes your blood pressure to rise and your heart to beat faster. Anger causes stress, which causes your blood vessels to constrict. This is why heart attacks are common to people who are angered easily.
If you are easily angered, here are some tips that will help you manage your anger:
- When you feel that anger is starting to build up and take control of you, find a peaceful place where you can calm down. It is also good to have someone to talk to,  someone that you trust and who can listen to you and help you find an objective point of view. An objective point of view can help a lot in calming you down.
- When you have cooled down, talk to the person who caused your anger. But do not use the talk to attack that person verbally; talk to that person to settle things out in a calm manner. Talk about how you feel. You should only do this when you know that you have completely calmed down because if not, your anger could be rekindled and you will explode once again.
- Find an outlet for your pent up emotions. Exercise is a very good outlet. A person who is involved in activities that require physical exertion are less likely to get angered easily. Good physical exertion helps take away stress that can contribute to the cause of anger. It is also good to devote some time for a cause that you really believe in; this will channel your energy to something positive.
- Do not nurse your anger. Holding a grudge is the worst thing that you can do to yourself.
