Anger

While it may be hard to manage or express your anger in the moment, you must find a positive outlet. Anger can become unhealthy if it is not expressed-it can be bottled up and come out in ways you didn’t expect. Anger can also become unhealthy when it’s expressed in a way that is harmful to others or yourself.
Here are some tips to positively express or manage your anger:
- Leave the situation that is causing your anger
- Work off some steam through sports or punching a pillow
- Strap on the headphones and play some tunes
- Find a quiet place to clear your thoughts
