I know that I have a nasty temper, so I’ve learned to be very careful of how I manage my anger.

At work, I repress it and then vent to my spouse when I get home.  Or I fire up a game console and spend some time on mindless violence.  (Chucking people out the window in “Star Wars: Force Unleashed” is one of my favorites!)

In the home setting, I work to control my temper at the time and then later try to talk out the issue that caused the problem.  At least where my family is concerned.  With inanimate objects that anger me, I tend to swear and rage and then feel guilty about it.

If possible, a long walk is often helpful.  I say all the nasty things I’m thinking far from anyone who might be hurt by them.  Then when I return home, I’m calmer and ready to deal with the issue in a less destructive way.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Winston
