10 Effective Ways To Deal With Your Anger (5 of 6)

8. Seek help from a professional

No matter how hard we try, there are times when we just can’t seem to deal with our anger management issues. This is when it becomes a good idea to speak with a therapist. Their job is not to judge you; they are there to help you find ways to overcome your anger using a developed, well-tested plan.

9. Go for a jog

Since anger causes a boost in energy, why not put it to good use? Take the opportunity to burn off that energy by going out for a run. Take in some fresh air, get some exercise, and return home feeling better! As a side note, don’t use this energy for aggressive purposes such as taking a few licks at a punching bag. Studies have shown that rather than releasing aggression, this can actually increase it.
