It is always in your best interest to completely release anger. The problems come only when anger is wrongly expressed.

You may already know why you need to release anger. You may already be aware that anger that festers in you will put your health at risk, and will also stop you from making your best decisions. But it is often how to do what you need to do that causes the difficulties.

Out of the many ways to release anger, this page talks about five of them.

Let it show

Often times, people are made to believe that showing anger is something that should not be done. On the contrary, it is by showing your anger in the right way that good changes are made. So at times, your raw anger needs to be displayed. You only need make sure that when it is displayed that you do not hurt anybody with or because of it.

Empathize

Sometimes releasing anger will involve just allowing the other person room to make errors. Consider if the person making you angry is doing so because of a personal weakness. If so, this person will need your help, not your wrath.

After looking at things from a different point of view, you may see that you do not want to be angry in this situation.

Write everything down.

There was at one time a person who did things to annoy me at every opportunity they had. So one day I wrote them a letter telling them everything that I think had to be said. What I saw was that the act of giving them the letter alone let me release anger, and was also empowering enough to put me back in charge of the situation.

Doing this may not change your offender, but doing this will cause a release of anger, and you are likely to find that you are better prepared for what is to come next.

Do exactly what they want you to and more.

Let me give an example. Let's say that your anger is about someone compelling you, or trying to make you turn around in a circle. What you do is turn around twice.

What this does is it embarrasses the person who is bothering you. They will be forced to admit to themselves that you are tougher than they expected you to be. The end of it all will be that you are the winner.

Do something good for them.

Lastly, do something good for the person who makes you angry. I won't say anything more about this, but tell me how doing this makes you feel. Does this help with releasing anger?
