Nearly fifty percent amongst you might be suffering from high temper phenomena. Some of you also would be working hard to get rid of it, by not expressing it or by making your self not feeling it. The real problem lies under the fact that majority of us forget to follow the strategies that work for quick temper, when we are actually going through it. However there are some good pieces of advice that I would like to share below to help you all to overcome this fault.  

Avoid expressing:

Studies have shown that expressing anger further aggravates it. Gone are the days when ‘catharsis hypothesis’ was used to make your mind healthy and give some relief. It’s better to stay calm instead of whipping your self into a fury by expressing it over and again.  

Acceptance:

Acceptance is better than denial. Don’t hate to be wrong and snub people back if they find something wrong or faulty in you. You just take a pause, ask yourself, and if the reply comes in yes, be bold and brave to accept and respond it gently and try to mend your ways.  

Distraction:

One of the best ways to avoid tense situations and disturbance is ‘distraction’. Involve yourself in some pleasant thoughts. If your mind is a home for sadness, unpleasant thoughts, furies, encounters and fights, then it lead to the generation of bad feelings. You can easily enrage yourself by occupying into annoyance and frustrations. If you recall any negative episode from your past, it surely will take you to high temper and rage. So deliberately try to distract your thoughts by thinking about something good and pleasant.  

Madness at your own self:

Studies have shown that sometimes you try to grasp others problems which you are slightly having in yourself too. You condemn others on issues which you yourself are also having and which you condemn too. Whenever someone is making you angry, think over the fact that if you can also accuse yourself of the same fault?  

Humor

Try to insert your attention towards some joke or make fun of yourself. Laugh, humor and exercise is an excellent answer to everything. Try to convey the same message in a humorous style in a funny manner, instead of being rude or harsh. If you tend to be high in tone, chances are that you might get the reply in the very same or even higher tone. But if you remain at the lighter side, no matter how the person responds you will feel comparatively less angry.
