IDENTIFY THE CAUSE
Sometimes it may be obvious. (for example,
someone steals your backpack). Other times,
the cause of your anger may not be what it
seems at first. For example, you break your
pencil because the lead breaks. But you're
really angry at yourself for not studying
for the test.

DECIDE WHAT TO DO
What you do will depend on the situation.
Decide which options will resolve the problem
or situation that caused your anger. Take
positive steps to implement your options.

COMMUNICATE YOUR ANGER
Calm Down
Understand your motives
Be assertive
Seek help
Don't get personal
Don't avoid the issue
Don't make accusations
Don't sulk

WAYS TO CONTROL ANGER
Humor
Don't waste your anger on minor irritations
or problems that can't be helped. Try to
find some humor in the situation.

Physical Activity
Sports, such as walking, jogging, tennis, golf,
basketball, and baseball can be excellent
outlets for angry feelings.

Rest and Relaxation
To help avoid irritability, be sure to get
enough sleep. Meditation, breathing exercises,
find a quiet place to sit, and get outside.
