Manage your anger!

Rule-1:
Don't get judgment about your anger, but do acknowledge that you are angry.
Rule-2:
Create a gap between your anger and your response. We often get angry because we are burdened with preset notions. It is important to interrupt the angry-thought pattern with more pleasant imagery. Don't react instantly. Wait for a few minutes, you won't regret it
Rule-3:
Stop justifying your anger or blaming the other person. This does not drive away anger, it keeps it alive. Instead of focusing on anger, concentrate on what you can do next. Your motto should be: What next, now?
Rule-4:
Interrupt anger with humour. When you come back home and find your kids fighting, don't start scolding them. Instead, use expression like "Wah, kya baat hai!" and "How fascinating." It invariably works.
Rule-5:
When you are angry, you instantly lose your right to choose. Anger makes those choices for you, not you. Control your anger and get back your right to choose.
