I know. I struggle with anger sometimes and I don't seem to be having alot of luck getting rid of it. I've tried journaling, working out and screaming in my car (in a remote place, thank you). Any ideas?
If that doesn't work, do something different. Where did I hear that? I think it was Divorce Busting.
Yes. A little humor, but there is a bit of truth in that. Penn & Teller had a show on Anger Management. Without going into too much detail, much of what they found was not to act on it as the best way to get over it. Venting did not seem to be a good coping tool and there were quite a few studies to back that up. Seems that thinking about anger keeps you angry. And that brings us right back to the old patience thing.
My advice - when you are angry, go read Tipping Point or maybe a James Patterson (or similar) novel.
Hmmm. All that stuff seems to fall under the category of let it go. You generally do well, but we all have little setback. It's ok. Now move forward. You'll be fine.
