We all get angry at times and cannot control ourselves, right?
I believe the worst thing we can do when we’re angry is to react impulsively. We’re not thinking clearly and we say things we will regret later. But how can we express our emotions other than showing anger?
Here are some tips to help you be cool and get others’ trust and respect:
• Avoid cursing or using profanity. This will definitely impress negatively upon others.
•Take a deep breath and accept that you’re angry. Pause to calm down and reflect ( maybe count down to ten).
•Be open, say what made you angry and express your needs.
•Compromise. Try to listen and understand to the other’s point of view.
•Think first, then think again. Act after you thought it carefully.
•Treat your peer as yourself.
•Usually, before you get angry, your body gives you some warnings (you cannot concentrate, you breath faster, you have a headache or your heart is pounding). Watch yourself and become aware of these signs. This way you’ll learn how to control your anger before it breaks out.
