Write It Down, Throw It Away: Easing Anger with Paper and Pen

Researchers unveiled a remarkably simple yet effective technique for managing anger: jotting down one’s grievances and then physically discarding the note.

The study involved participants who were provoked by unfairly critical feedback on their opinions about social issues.

Those instructed to write down their feelings and then shred or trash the paper reported a dramatic reduction in anger, essentially returning to their pre-incident emotional state.

This method, grounded in the tangible act of discarding written negative thoughts, provides an easily accessible and empirically supported approach to anger management, suggesting potential for widespread application in both personal and professional settings.

Most people tend to speed up their speech when they are in distress, but doing so increases the likelihood of making mistakes and causing emotional injuries.

The next time you find yourself in an argument, remind yourself to slow down. Make sure you can look at one another face-to-face. Check to make sure you are understanding one another as you argue.

This way, you’ll be able to immediately catch and repair misunderstandings before they spin your argument out of control.
