"A fool gives full vent to their anger, but a wise person keeps themselves under control." proverbs 29:11

This verse was a part of our sermon yesterday in church. Our pastor is awesome to listen to and leaves you thinking after church and how you can intertwine the word into your daily lives. His sermon yesterday was on How to Manage Your Anger and building great relationships. Here were the six keys to anger management.

1.) resolve to manage it.
2.) rethink the cost of uncontrolled anger ("A hot tempered person...gets into all kinds of trouble." proverbs 29:22
3.) reflect before reacting (take a cooling off period before responding)
4.) Release anger in appropriate ways: Don't repress, suppress or express it inappropriately.
5.) Renew your mind Ask yourself What is it that is making me angry? Why am I the way that I am?
6.) Relate to people who are patient : Do not make friends with a hot tempered man. Do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared." Proverbs 22: 24-25
