Anger

Managing anger involves getting your anger reactions to work constructively for you, rather than against you.

• Clarify the Situation for Yourself.
  "What am I upset about?"
  "What do I want?"
  "Is this really something to be angry about?"
  "What can I do about the situation?"
  
• Avoid Negative Self-Talk.
  "People shouldn't treat me this way!"
  "I hate this!"
  
• Increase Positive Self-Talk.
  "It's okay; sometimes, people make mistakes."
  "It's okay not to get my way sometimes."
  "This is frustrating, but I can accept it."
