Understanding Your Anger With A Positive Exercise
Intense feelings of anger can cause some people to react in violent or destructive ways towards others or property that can cause not only harm to the receivers of your anger, but to you as well. Understanding why you become angry and what triggers your anger can help lead you to exercises that you can do to help you control your anger.
Understanding
There are several ways to help you understand your anger. One way is to take classes geared towards anger management. Another way is to have one on one counseling sessions with a professional who understands the dynamics of anger management and can guide you through the steps of understanding what makes you angry and why. Another way is to keep an Anger Journal. This journal is your personal thoughts about the episodes of anger that you experience.
Journal Exercise
Write down 5 to 10 things that make you angry in general. These things can be small annoyances that tend to blow up if not kept in check, to huge volcanic size stimulus. A small annoyance may be someone leaving the bread wrapper open, or the person who cuts in line at a concert ticket booth. A volcanic size thing may be the person who rear-ended your car last month, or the person who is the class bully. To you what makes something volcanic may be totally different from the things that make others feel that measure of intensity. Your journal is about your own personal triggers and writing things down will help you to identify what triggers your anger. Identifying triggers is the first step to understanding your anger. As you are journaling number the things you write down as far as how intense they make you feel, with 10 being volcanic and 1 being the very least amount of anger.
After you have identified and rated your triggers, now you need to write down what you did each time you encountered one of these triggers. Write down what you remember saying and doing for each incidence that you can remember. For instance, did you express yourself in words only, did you become physical in anyway towards persons or objects?
