Identifying Personal Anger Triggers

The first and most important step is to identify and understand your triggers so that you can anticipate and prepare for them in a constructive way.

The Fight or Flight Response

Anger triggers the fight or flight response, which is a natural reaction to potential threats. This leads to the release of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline.

Healthy Ways to Express and Manage Anger

Practicing communication can be a good way to manage anger and stress.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction Strategies

Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, tai qi, warm baths, and journaling can be helpful at reducing stress and anger.

Exercise and Physical Outlets

Physical exercise is a great way to reduce the release of stress hormones and increase the release of endorphins. Both of these can reduce stress and anger.

Vitamins and Herbal Supplements

There are many vitamins and herbs that can support mental and emotional health including lemon balm, vitamin B’s, passion flower, and magnesium.

Having a diet high in antioxidants, healthy fats, and protein, can provide adequate vitamins and minerals. A healthy diet can maintain proper blood sugar balance, which is important for mood regulation.
