10 Effective Ways To Deal With Your Anger (2 of 6)

2. Forgive and forget

It’s not always easy to forgive others, especially if they have done something that really hurt. But you gain nothing by holding grudges and allowing your anger towards them to linger and even fester. By forgiving them, you both learn a lesson from the experience and are able to move on. Ideally, it will even strengthen your relationship.

3. Have a talk when your mood is calm

Are you frustrated because your kids or partner are doing things that bug you? Instead of shouting at them at the peak of your anger, why not sit down with them when your mind is calm and clear? You’ll be able to speak to them in a diplomatic, non-confrontational manner which in turn will make them more receptive.
