The first step is to understand how you react when situations are out of your control. By understanding this, you will know how to act when you are in a difficult situation.
If you need to take some time to learn how to deal with your anger, don’t bother making that time for yourself.
However, don’t completely shut yourself off at all times, as this is harmful and can distance you from your loved ones.
So know what to say when you have an angry moment:
- At this point, I’d like some time to process this;
- Now I can’t talk about it.
- I am too angry to speak;
- I want to breathe a bit and we resume the conversation;
- I’m sad about something and that’s why I’m angry.
At this point, also know what not to say:
- “I’m good.”
- “no thing.”
- “Not a problem.”
Given that, here are some important points to help you in those moments of anger:
- Find a distraction from the conflict before it spirals out of control;
- Take a deep breath: This will help keep your head straight and will slow your heart rate, making your brain work more productively.
