Anger: Slow down, stop being so reactive, realize anger often covers up more fundamental feelings and speak to what the anger is hiding and you will likely get to the source as anger can take you down a side street. Best.

1 Simple trick-: count to 10 before acting on an urge to impulsively harm someone physically or emotionally. Reduce anger by deep breathing. Breath in deeply & slowly through the nostrils. Hold air in lungs for 5 count before slowly exhaling through an open mouth. Repeat until you cool your jets. Focus on your breathing not what is making you angry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is excellent for dealing w anger >

Change perception: If you feel that you snap before you can think, it is more of a reaction to a situation. This is not a conscious decision, it's a physical reaction due to the release of adrenaline. It may be very hard to control a physical reaction by counting during a "knee jerk reaction". A better way might be to assess the type of thing that upsets you. Then change your attitude towards the issue.
