Meditation, Meditation and Meditation. Practice it. Regularly and Sincerely. It's the single most powerful medicine against anger issues. Meditate over yourself. Many kinds of meditative techniques are there. And you could start with anyone of them. A key part of every technique is control over breathing and becoming the observer of the situation rather than participating in it. Both of these give a very quick growth towards calming our mind and reducing anger.

Anger is natural but it's bad. Anger is unstoppable if you have no control over yourself. But nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'm possible'. Whenever you are angry, just try to calm yourself by sitting if you're standing and if you are already sitting while you are in anger then lie down on your bed or anywhere. This might help. Or elsewhere drink water and control. I know it's not easy at first. You may find it hard to control your anger at first time. But you may see changes the third time, fourth time, and so on. The things you get angry at, just ignore them. The things or people that makes you angry, just ignore them too. Because that's life. they will bother you. But how many times? The time will come when they will also get tired of bothering you. Maybe that time is away from you, but that time will come. Just have patience!

Just breathe. I also find a quiet place and read or zone out to the world around me and into the world of my music.

Each time you are so angry, write down the cause of it. Collect them and see the similarities, and find general understanding of it. Then try to solve it. It's not quick solution but it's a start.

Listen to your feelings more closely and decide which feelings aren't worth your time. Just decide to remain calm and problem solve. It just comes down to a choice of how you want to handle things.

First you could find out what makes you so angry. Once you've found that out it will be easier to prevent you getting so angry because you'd know exactly what not to do or what to do.

Take a minute to isolate yourself from the problems you are having, and let say to yourself that "it's okay" to sometimes feel angry, maybe taking up a new hobby, or finding something that makes you feel happy will help with releasing the anger you are experiencing.

First increase your self awareness and foster insight to the triggers that cause you to be angry then process your feelings and thoght and try to rationalize and regulate them through positive coping strategies you've learned or are learning through literature on anger management or by a professional.

Relax by taking deep breaths, counting to twenty backwards and think about why you are feeling angry. Anger is just an emotion that we all feel and its okay to feel angry but it's upto us to decide whether to act or react to it.

Being angry happens to everyone. It's important to recognise these angry feelings so we can deal with them in a constructive and healthy way. Sometimes things can make us so angry we see red and have a hard time dealing with our emotions. Taking a deep breath, counting to ten, and allowing yourself to have some time to think things through is a huge help in managing feelings of anger.

How about first letting the emotion flow in your mind stream without any hesitation. Just feel what you are feeling, as soon as you become aware of it its effects are lost. :)
