@Success Professor, Sleep is a great point. When I'm not well-rested I have a terrible time handling the tiniest inconveniences. My husband says I can be like EVE in Wall-E...blowing things up at the slightest provocation (only when I'm really tired, though). Once I recognized this, I started taking the step of breathing before I exploded and asking myself that's really making me angry. (Or even before I launch a mental tirade.) Normally it's something else and I didn't feel I could let it out to that person, but my husband is "safe." Not perfect at it, but I've found it very helpful when I apply it.

In a nice touch of synchronicity I just posted an article about the futility of “losing it”. I guess my main way to avoid it is to stay grounded in a larger perspective – thankfully most problems we face are not that big really unless we build them up to be.

I find the best way to beat anger is to watch yourself carefully and catch all the little manifestations inside. Then each one that you see you let go. Then it never builds and even bigger things that occur won't disturb you as much. Jarrod - Warrior Developments last blog post..Awesomeness has No Cost

Thanks for this post. I'd also add to the book list Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, which gave rise to the now-popular way of expressing anger by describing our experience instead of being "parental" and going through how bad or immoral the other person is.

Hi Adrilia!
Thank you for your excellent advice about speaking out. I particularly like this bit: “Start speaking up about smaller things and build up to the biggies … who knows many others there may be wishing someone would speak up.”
