Stress Management might not be that easy as it depends all on the causes, and causes of stress vary from person to person and situation to situation. Here’s a presentation that covers maximum causes and offers solutions for most of the situations:

You might have read and heard about Self Control as a way to manage your anger. It’s not a very difficult thing, instead it’s all about thinking before you act. Many times you have to reply in a hurry, or you cant resist showing a hyper reaction against something you don’t like. But, if you spare seconds or minutes before expressing feeling or strong emotions, you can handle the situation in a much better way.

A little effort can not only help you doing better anger management, but continuous/repetitive use can help to attain a happier life with more and more social interaction.

This is a big question, and answer to this makes anger management easy, i.e. if its known that what actually anger is and why do we get angry, we can identify the causes and can stop the effects. In this regard I found a agood introduction of anger here on Buzzle.com. Below is the excerpt:

Anger is a deluded mind that has its focus on an animated or unanimated object, feels it to be very unattractive, and exaggerates its bad qualities and wishes to cause harm. It is the most common destructive delusion, and afflicts our mind almost everyday.

Anger is a response to feelings of unhappiness, which in turn arise whenever we meet with unpleasant circumstances. Whenever we are prevented from fulfilling our wishes, or forced into a situation we dislike, or rather we are put into a situation we want to avoid- our mind reacts immediately feeling unhappy and discomforted. This uncomfortable feeling easily turns into anger.

Another important reason for our anger is that in our day to day life we face many situations which we do not like. Everyday we face situations like stubbing our toes, arguments with our peers, and even drastic situation like hearing bad news like our house being burnt down and even a death in our family. The most common reaction of a normal person is to feel unhappy and angry. We are not in total control of ourselves.

This kind of stress management is scientific in nature. People with good decision making power can go well with this type of approach. In this specific kind of approach, the problem creating the stress is identified. Identification of stress is a little tricky in case if there’s a chain of reasons or stress creating factors, but once the source of stress is identified, it’s almost half solved.

In this kind of stress management approach, the identified problem is confronted directly. Here one may need to make few appropriate changes to cope with the situation or the environment.
This approach is very useful; however, it works best if:

• Environment is alterable
• Stressed person sees the problems as challenges
• Situations are not too complicated
