In my past I could have been described as a really angry person. This may have been largely due to the type of lifestyle that I was living at that time. I used to smoke cigarettes to try and cope with my anger and I used to be a really mean person.
The best solution for dealing with anger would be to not get angry, but we know that never getting angry is impossible. But it is possible to not get angry as often, which would be the first and best possible solution. I have found that in order to keep myself from getting angry as often as usual I need to practice a great degree of self control. I try to always think about why I am getting angry before I do so then I ask myself this question, "what is getting angry going to solve?" Most of the time, if not all, the answer is nothing...
If I find that a situation has aggravated me so much that I simply cannot help but get angry these are the next key steps that I follow now. The first is to not let my anger be directed towards anyone, many times you can take out your anger on other people which is never fair. After that I try to practice techniques that I have found help me to relieve stress, such as exercise, and listening to music.
Now that I have shared the techniques with you that I use to prevent anger from loosing control, I will also share some that you should definitely not try. Smoking cigarettes or even worse using illegal drugs are definitely NOT a solution to anger problems. Basically anything that you do when you are anger that is not productive is not a really good idea.
I really hope that you can learn to control your anger issues through some of the simple steps outlined in this article, if you do not and anger issues persist. I would suggest that you seek professional help...
