Anger is an emotion we all experience, and while it's not inherently good, it's also unavoidable. Instead of advocating complete control over it, I believe in learning to regulate it positively. This requires practice and patience, as it won't happen overnight.

I will share some easy ways to regulate anger that anyone can do.

Physical activity is key. Regular exercise, whether it's yoga, a workout, or meditation, should be integrated into your daily routine. Exercise elevates your heart rate and leads to shorter, shallower breaths. Your body naturally seeks to return to a normal breathing pace after exercising, similar to the process of calming down when feeling angry. If traditional exercise doesn't appeal to you, consider dancing as an alternative.

Secondly, prioritize doing what you love. While it's not always feasible to have a job we love due to various reasons like financial constraints, family obligations, or running a family business, we can still dedicate at least 30 minutes each day to activities we enjoy. Engaging in activities we love boosts the production of happy hormones, which in turn aids in regulating anger.

Thirdly, aim to complain less. While it's unrealistic to completely eliminate complaining, we can make an effort to reduce it. This shift in mindset cultivates gratitude for the life we have, leading to greater overall happiness. In turn, this positive outlook helps regulate anger when it arises.

Fourthly, address conflicts or disagreements with others regularly. While it's unrealistic to resolve every disagreement with everyone, strive to resolve conflicts with those around us on a daily basis. Ignoring conflicts only allows them to fester, potentially leading to outbursts over trivial matters. By actively addressing conflicts, we can reduce the likelihood of anger escalating in future situations.

Fifthly, consider programming your brain. Anticipate situations or individuals that typically trigger anger, and rehearse how you'll respond or approach the problem in the future. By repeatedly rehearsing in your subconscious mind, you can better regulate your anger in those particular situations.

Lastly, try to put yourself in someone else's shoes before reacting. Consider their perspective and aim to respond rather than react immediately. This approach can significantly help regulate anger more effectively.

Anger becomes problematic when experienced too frequently, intensely, or when expressed in unhealthy ways, impacting one's physical, mental, and social well-being. Thus, adopting anger management strategies can be beneficial, aiding in finding healthier avenues to express emotions.
