chosen.content: I'm sorry you are experiencing difficulty with anger. It's great that you want to make a healthy change. Seeking help from a professional is one of the best ways to process and manage your anger, but if that isn't an option for you right now, here are a few other suggestions:
  - Reframe your anger: Instead of having an outburst or turning your anger inwards, have a constructive conversation with someone about how you feel. You might not need to speak to the person that triggered your anger in order to process it; talking to someone else can also be helpful, so long as you are working towards a constructive outcome rather than ruminating on your frustration. 
  - Recognize your triggers to find better solutions: If you know that you get really worked up waiting in long lines, try to beat the crowds and run errands early, avoiding peak business hours. Or, if you have a co-worker who usually gets on your nerves, develop some strategies to minimize contact with them throughout the work day. Look for patterns in your anger and take a pragmatic approach to securing peace of mind. 
  - Distract yourself:  If something happens that triggers your anger, look for a change of scenery. Go for a walk, open a new tab in your browser, or put on a favorite song while tackling chores in a different room in your home. Sometimes taking your mind off of things can help you recover more quickly.
