Good Mind Cultivation is to see anger through the experiences of those who are damaged by it. Ask immediate family members to recall times when you got angry at them and how they felt about it. Don’t justify what you did or try to explain your real intentions. Simply listen. Begin to understand the emotional hurts they experienced through your raised voice, sharp words, and attitude of rejection. This will help in building a self-awareness of anger for future situations.

Become aware of the physical sensation of anger in your body. Notice the sensations in your stomach, chest and face. Become aware of your rapid heart and breathing rate. Observe if your fists or jaw are clenched.

Notice your thoughts.
Thoughts like "it’s not fair" or "I’m not having this" feed anger. Notice what effect you have by letting go of these thoughts. If you can’t let go of the thoughts, which is common, continue to watch the way thoughts and feelings feed each other.

Communicate.
As soon as the main force of your anger has dissipated, you may need to communicate your feelings with the other person. Begin with ‘I’ statements instead of "you" accusations. As you continue to communicate, stay aware and awake to your own feelings, and let go of any aggression if you can – less aggression and more honesty are more likely to lead to a harmonious and productive conversation and result.
