The reason I didn't mention too much about redirection is because many people redirect anger towards others, but if you redirect anger towards something that is not harming others and it helps, it is okay too. You are making sense! Don't be afraid to share your opinion, as we all see concepts differently. Thank you. :) Hey Amit, that is a good way to deal with anger also.

In my humble experience any type of control, in this case towards anger, seems to fan the flames. I personally believe that redirection of that energy is a better idea rather than control. Not getting angry is achieved through practise and a very deep understanding of emotions and the reasons for anger. I might ask myself, why am I getting angry over something so small? I then might also ask myself....'in the grand scheme of things, how much does this really matter?' Those kinds of thoughts help to calm me down...hope I'm making some sense! :-) Hey Tristan,

I think everybody has their own ways of coping with different emotions. I'm really glad you shared this with us. Thank you! Hey Chris. Forgiveness can work because when you truly forgive someone, even when it can be hard to do, you put yourself in a positive state after doing so. Thanks for sharing this!

This is some sound advice on dealing with anger and not letting it further destroy or wreak havoc in one's life. One thing I think, though, is that we really can't get rid of it totally. I think with reflective practices like you mention, and by choosing not to ACT on it, we can eventually experience it less. But I do think from time to time anger will arise in us. For me, the best thing to do when that happens is not to act (or "react") at all. This doesn't mean I no longer feel it. I just prefer to take that feeling and feel, examine, and express it (if need be) elsewhere, in the least destructive way (going for a walk, writing feverishly in a journal, whatever). Later, when the feeling has subsided, I can address (if I feel still feel the need, sometimes I don't) the person with much more compassion and understanding, and less expectations... You know what I mean? Cheers, Miche :) Hi Tristan! This is some sound advice on dealing with anger and not letting it further destroy or wreak havoc in one’s life.

According to me anger is an emotion that can be very hard to control and difficult to acknowledge. To maintain anger or overcome to this situation just forgive the person who wronged you as well as to truly forgive yourself. Really this is meaning full article.

We often just let anger happen because we are unaware that we are getting angry in the moment. Thanks for sharing this. :) Yes, I agree with your Walter.
