Thoughts for the Day

Locating the real cause of your anger can help you control it. Ask yourself, "What is it that is making me angry?" Sort out what you caused and what others did to produce the anger. Accept responsibility for your anger and process the information.

Discern the root cause of the problem. If you get angry because the car will not start, is it truly that the car won't start-or is it fear of being late and your boss's getting angry at you. Or could it be that you are angry that the car being broken will cause additional financial worry and stress? Over time, you can gain understanding by locating the true cause of your anger ... and this understanding will help you control it.


Consider This . . .



For further study in this particular step of anger management, you may want to read The Anger Workbook by Dr. Les Carter and Dr. Frank Minirth. This workbook provides valuable help in discerning how a variety of needs (e.g. insecurity, fear, pride, loneliness, inferiority, and unrealistic expectations) can create anger.
