Controlling Anger examines the dilemmas facing rural people who live within the broader context of political instability. Anger control is very difficult, but if it is controlled, then you are the winner in a career, as well as in your personal life. By controlling and changing the thoughts that are appearing in your head, it is important to determine how you will handle any given situation.

Uncontrolled anger can cause a lot of damage. It can hurt not only person who is angry, but also other people they care about. Relationships with partners, children and work colleagues can suffer. Poor anger control can cause problems in the workplace and affect work performance. One of the first anger management techniques to learn is how to recognise anger triggers.

Anything that causes an increase in your anger level can be a trigger. The more aware you are of your anger triggers the better anger control you will have. To find out your anger triggers notice what happens around you as your anger is increasing. Also notice what you are thinking and how your body is responding.

Stop and think carefully before you speak. Anything you say that is not positive or encouraging may possibly hurt others. Be able to accept constructive criticism from those trying to help you. Words you use should be positive and encouraging. Avoid hurtful, negative phrases that will cause a reaction and escalate the issue and anger.

1.Maintain good physical health and exercise every day. When you are in poor health or overtired it is much easier to become angry quickly. Exercise is essential to long term anger management.

2.Plan ahead for days when you feel angry. Think ahead about all the options you have at work to reduce anger. Make a written list and carry it with you. Having a well thought out anger action plan is a powerful anger management skill.

3.Find something to distract you from what, or who is annoying you. Make an excuse to work outside the office or run an errand.

4.Make a written list of the issues that are annoying you. Then brainstorm solutions and write down the advantages and disadvantages of all the options. Writing out problems can help you to see where you can and cannot take action.

5.Think of exercise as a good way to relieve stress. Go for walks, take up kickboxing, just do some type of activity that gets you moving.If you're not exercising, think about starting up a routine. If not for your health, then at least to let out your frustrations and stress.

Another type of anger management soundtrack is guided visualisation or relaxation. These soundtracks describe imaginary scenes that can be used in many different ways for anger control. Some will simply describe a relaxing scene. Others will take you through an imaginary journey. Others will ask you to imagine scenes where you are in control of your anger.

Anger control problems may be a result of stress in one's daily life, or could also be a part of one's genetic makeup. Getting angry and losing control can sometimes lead to stealing, hurting others, and lying; but worst of all it could even end up killing someone.
