Among the peaceful activities that are designed to lower angry feelings at home, the office or even at school, you can find two that will only require the willpower to lower your anger (as opposed to money and other input):

Meditation. Through the practice of meditation, such as yoga, tai-chi-chuan and other oriental meditative techniques, the individual can learn how to quickly stop angry feelings and episodes before they escalate and cause additional troubles with the people in their life.

Meditation might require the individual attend a specialised facility, at least in the beginning, and as they progress using these forms of anger management techniques it will be less necessary to attend, and it can be developed at the same site where the problem is emerging (for example, once you are comfortable with using meditation at a facility you can then practice it at work, where you might be experiencing the most amount of stress).

Prayer. Almost every single religion places a strong emphasis on the power of forgiveness and the importance of avoiding angry feelings, as well as the positive effect that praying has in the lives of the faithful believers. As a result, turning to prayer as a form of forgiveness and of lowering angry feelings and conflicts might be the answer for many, especially those young people who are still in those stages where their personalities are still forming.

Working in an office requires you to be able to manage your emotions and feelings so that you are always in control; in terms of anger management, it means that you have to take all the necessary steps to prevent venting your anger, which may have been caused by the worker in the personnel department, your secretary or even worse, your boss.

There are many ways by which you can vent such angry episodes; for example, you can have a therapy ball nearby and devote five minutes to squeezing exercises; focusing on doing such exercises in the right way will allow you to slowly decrease your anger levels.

Regardless of the type of therapy or anger management solution that you select, make sure that it is not difficult to do while you continue to work, and that it will not cause you further problems such as ethical, diplomatic and other issues regarding probable infringement of the office rules and regulations.

One of the most popular therapies that is used to manage anger and lower your anxiety and discomfort levels is the use of voodoo dolls. Voodoo dolls are small faceless dolls into which you stick pins and needles to “vent” your anger. Similar to writing a letter to the subject of your anger but never sending it, voodoo dolls allow you to express your anger in a safe manner without anyone actually being on the receiving end of it.
