Comment on What is a good, healthy, unhurtful, socially positive way to express anger?

What works for me :

  1. I remove myself from the situation that caused the anger.

  2. I let myself live the anger for a minute or two, or a bit more if needed.

  3. When the anger is gone, I identify what emotion is the cause of anger. Anger is 99% a reaction to a negative emotion.

  4. I say outloud to myself the reason of my anger. Otherwise, I feel like the anger is pent-up.

  5. If my anger was directed at someone, I apologize and explain why I was angry.

  6. Finally, I reflect on the situation and the emotions I experienced. Sometimes it’s 30 seconds, sometimes it’s a few days, depending on the gravity of the situation. By understanding what caused the negative emotions, I can handle it better in the future.
