Tips to get rid of anger and reduce stress.

i keep a journal, just a small notepad i carry with me, im always writing things down, i call it "cleaning out the attic", you keep that crap bottled up and soon they spill over into real life in my case
now most of my anger comes from "perceived threats" my own fantasy of someone doing me harm or trying to get me fired ect..
in my journal i write down "you arent being attacked""there is no threat""noone is out to get you" and i make a list of the things that arent really going on around me like that.
and at the end of the week i toss the journals, i have no need for them anymore, i have no desire to re live those dark thoughts, and i go buy another notepad for a buck up the street.
i used to laugh when people said the word "journal", but they too are a tool to use., once they have served their use get rid of it, why keep it? to reminiscence of days gone past to remind yourself how much of a $#%^ mood i was in? no my dude toss it.
Clean the attic and im telling you once you start you are gonna burn some pages up stock up on pens!
anyway this is a tool i use to calm myself down, because i can go real deep in anger real quick., i feel you i hope you find something to clean that attic

Journals are a great idea. You are advanced from myself because I still treat my reactions to other people as real so they go unchallenged.

But still my journal serves a purpose and I make entries every day.

Thank you for the instructions.
I am facing bad anger for a long period of time and facing lots of troubles.

I was really going into a downward spiral of frustration and snapping at people over the last few months. I think it's down to work related problems / working from home, and the whole covid situation.

Anyway my tip is.... I found this book that a friend recommended about Humanism. It was out of the blue for me.

But I have found that it really got me thinking differently about things, and my anger levels have really reduced.

Different philosiphy, different way of seeing things.
Fingers crossed the feeling lasts.

Thank you so much for the wonderful tips. Its very useful to me.

Hey thanks for the tips. I am kinda old and still, I have a lot of stress and anger. Sometimes, due to anger, I fight with my mom, and later I be sad about it. It's pretty hard to control anger. My mom used to talk a lot and it messes up my mind. And I feel bad about it.

Nice tips.
If those who hurt me in childhood knew any of these tips I may not even be here...

I've been applying many of this tips for a long while but I will start using those new for me. Thanks for the info

Very useful advice.
