How Do You Handle Your Temper?

[beatsdrop]

I just take a few breaths and tell myself to try not to blow up. It's hard because I can have a pretty bad temper.

I need to handle my temper better. One of my weaknesses.

I used to be mad all the time but now....getting "younger"  i am better.

It takes a lot to get me angry.  When I do though, I try to think first or speak without cursing.

I don't have a temper but I pray and think of something positive when others get out of control because of a situation.

A whole lot better than I used to lol!  I've been known to throw lamps, rip blinds off a window and closet bi-fold doors off in fits of rage rather than physically hurt someone.    Once I was so mad I wanted to hit a certain person but I just ripped my clothes off and threw them at them instead of hitting.  Much calmer these days and I have God to thank for that.

I usually just try to walk away from the situation and not frustrate myself,  I can't control what people do or say but I can control how I choose to react to it.

I seldom allow another person make me lose my temper.  Too much energy and they aren't worth it.

I have an impatient streak, which usually graduates to me losing my temper sometimes. In those instances, I usually count to 10 or I write my thoughts in my journal. The latter works best for me.

I think as I have gotten older my temper has mellowed.  I haven't gotten to the point if they don't care neither should I.  Now I just walk or ignore the person for a while until I cool off
