How do you deal with anger?

I like to think I don’t get angry all that often, annoyed yes, actual anger not so much, but when I do, after a verbal outburst of some sort, I usually need time to cool off and be alone with my thoughts. My verbal outbursts can be actually telling someone why I am so angry with them or it can be me telling someone why I am angry or just beaking off into the ether, it takes a lot to get me to that point.

Cooling off usually involves some alone time, where I can think things thru, try and get to the root of the anger. Or at least find some sort of solution that I can live with.

Mostly I try to stay out of the angry place, it’s not pretty or pleasant, definitely never feels good.

Happy Monday!
