ANGER Reducing Tips
ANGER-REDUCING RATIONAL BELIEFS By: Michael E. Bernard, Ph.D.
While it is preferable to be treated fairly, kindly and considerately, there is no law of the universe that says I must be.
People who act unfairly, inconsiderately, or unkindly may deserve to be penalized, but never to be totally condemned as rotten no-goodniks who deserve to be eternally damned.
Anger does not help in the long run; it is only temporarily effective at best.
Anger toward others frequently prevents me from getting what I want.
While it is undesirable to fail to get what I want, it is seldom awful or intolerable.
I can cope successfully with unfair people even though I strongly wish they would act better.
I wish others would treat me fairly but they never have to.
