Take a time out for yourself
After my time out, I will ask myself a few things:
• What got me angry?
• How did I feel?
• What things about this situation could I control?
• What things about this situation couldn’t I control?
• Which ways did I handle this situation that I liked?
• Which ways would I like to change how I handle anger?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how angry was I?
Not really angry Extremely angry
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
You now have some tools to handle your anger differently. Carry your anger management plan with you, and practice the skills you have learned!
