Simple Steps to Reduce Your Stress Part IV - Expressing Yourself
Another tip by Dr. Weil:
People often have difficulty expressing their anger, and end up holding it in instead of letting it out in manageable ways. Unfortunately, suppressing your anger can ultimately contribute to health issues and increased stress. Instead of bottling up your anger, try to figure out what is causing it. When you are angry, distinguish between the mildly annoying and the infuriating. Look at what else you are feeling when you are most angry - lack of power, guilt, or confusion may be the root. Then, recognize where your anger is really coming from, discuss it openly with a close friend or therapist, and try to remedy that situation.
