Anger is your worst enemy

Anger is a man's (or woman's) worst enemy, which if you don't keep under control will destroy you one day. A cool and calm mind gives the best suggestions and answers to any kind of problems. Words one said can't be taken back and also words hurt people more than anything else. Here are some ways how you can control your anger:

1. Count to 10 when you are getting upset. Try it and you will really feel better after finishing.

2. Do something that is physically exerting. Instead of punching a wall or a person, go run around the house, or mow the yard. Go for a walk, swim, bike ride, or shoot some hoops. This can provide a physical outlet for your emotions.

3. Find something that is calming. Try deep breathing from your diaphragm. Take 10 deep calming breaths. This can be very soothing for most people. Combine this with step 1 and count to 10 slowly while breathing.

4. Use “I” statements instead of “you” statements. I am frustrated because you didn’t help with the housework, instead of You didn’t help me with the housework. This helps in multiple ways one is your way of thinking is a bit better and you also do not upset the other person so that both parties are angry. Which of course is not a good outcome for anyone.

There are a lot of adverse effects of anger which I will post about later, so keep a watch out for them.
