11. "If you are angy... write down your thoughts and feelings in a journal."

"Anger colors your perceptions of events and of people. It will cause you to see only the facts that support your angry point of view and to ignore other information that might change your mind... Angry and hateful words form you will often lead to an angry response from others and vice versa... There are times when it is perfectly reasonable to let off some steam as long as it is not directed at another person and does not hurt you. If you are angry... write down your thoughts and feelings in a journal."

From "Getting Your Life Back" by Jesse H. Write, M.D., Ph.D. and Monica Ramirez Basco, Ph.D., author of Never Good Enough

* Ponion's comment: This really works for me to relieve my stress. Be sure to use a pen or pencil and write down your anger directly on paper, in stead of typing onto a computer which somehow doesn't help much.
