Do you ever get so angry that you end up doing something that you will regret ten minutes later? Well, I can say I have done that so many times that I have lost count. I am not the person to get violent but my mouth loses its filter and I will spew anything and everything to that unfortunate person or thing. As I am growing older, I am starting to realize that this is not good for me nor my health. My anger is so bad that I lose control and I do not want that happening outside my home. I have taken measures to start controlling my anger. There are five things I do when I get really angry.

1)I walk away and find a place where I can calm myself down.

2)If I sense that I will lose my control, I will end the argument with that person.

3)As cliché as it sounds, I listen to music at a really high volume to drown out everything.

4)I start cleaning to keep myself from thinking about the thing or person that has angered me.

5)I close my eyes and take deep breaths.

These five things might not work at all times for me but the most important thing is that I am taking the steps to control my anger. I have been told that I get my anger from my father, whom I love a lot but I do not want his anger. I want to be the person who can control themselves and not regret their impulsive decision or words.
