It is ok to feel what you are sensing at the time. Many things in life can bring up emotions that are either good for you or make you feel worse about everything around you and maybe even yourself. It is always recommended to try ways of controlling outbursts thinking wwjd (what would Jesus do?) so that you can learn to be more in charge of yourself.

Responding to situations as it happens can sometimes result in you feeling differently when the tension has lessened. A good recommendation would be to break down the situation in your mind so that you can properly understand and react accordingly. At the moment it is easy to forget about details and assume the bigger picture is the only answer. Because of this, bad decisions are made.

If you have reacted badly or in a form of an outburst, speak to someone that you trust. This way, you are not keeping it bottled up and you can let it out to someone that cares. This person will give you an outside and fair opinion about the situation. Although their opinion may either make you feel worse or better, it will definitely impact how you react the next time.

Replacing negative thoughts with good thoughts is always a great idea. When you keep negative thoughts in your mind, it will begin to create a home. In doing so, you will end up going to that place every time something makes you angry. By replacing it, you are teaching yourself that you rather be happy and consumed with good feelings. If you encourage good thoughts, you will always be surrounded by goodness.

A downfall of your mental health is to block out how you feel about something. Bottling up what you are actually feeling can result in you feeling worse over time and when it forcefully comes out, it can sound worse than what is actually is or you can say something you didn t mean.

In this state of keeping things in, you can easily blame other people for something that you don t have proof of. Or perhaps, blame the person for bad advice after you have decided to confide in them. This shows a different side to your character and you can easily lose friendships and loved ones over something like this. Try to stay in control of what you say when you are upset.

A clever method that is used by many people to get rid of anger that is held inside of them, is exercise. It is an effective way of dealing with issues without interfering with other people. The idea is that instead of instilling violence and harsh words, walk away and take out your anger in the gym. The adrenaline will actually cause you to work out harder and better. This will also mean that you won t run into times where you may use harsh means to get your point across.

This is a common problem and by reacting a certain way, you are reminding yourself of who you are as a person. Take the simple steps to learn how to cope better.
