A personal anger log. More often than not, anger reactions appear in patterns. This means that there is a predictable structure that the anger reactions follow. This pattern is unique to each individual. Unfortunately, it is difficult to notice this pattern unless you take that third-person point of view and study your anger reactions from a distance. Here’s where keeping a personal anger log would help. A personal anger log is a diary of anger reactions, including symptoms, triggers, and coping styles. It is a way of increasing awareness of anger patterns unique to the individual. With awareness, one can better identify ways to prevent and cope with anger when it comes. Keeping a personal anger log is also a good way to blow off steam. You may treat it as a diary. Instead of a structured table, as the one that will be presented later, you can make an unstructured one to note your free-floating ideas and feelings.
