Otherwise take a deep breath and download these Anger Management Apps:
Feeling angry can be a very scary experience for you and for those around you who have to witness your anger. Everyone gets angry from time to time, but it’s important to manage your emotions and not let them get out of control, or you risk causing emotional or physical damage to yourself or others. You don’t have to be ashamed if you feel you need help. If you have an iPhone, here are some great apps you can download that will help you effectively manage your anger.
iPhone – £1.99
When you’re feeling like your anger is out of control, use this app to help you take a break. You simply tap the screen, and each time it will say out loud in a male or female voice, “I need a break.” Every tap will make the screen lighten, going from a dark red color and an angry face to something more calm. This tool helps you to visualize calming down, and it encourages you to take ten deep breaths and count backwards, which is a helpful tool in managing anger. There is also a story you can listen to that will help you put your anger in perspective. Designed as an Anger Management Tool for Autism, Down Syndrome and Special Needs, although it works for anyone.
Blackberry – $0.99
This app is for entertainment purposes only, but it may really help you to release some of your anger and decrease your stress level. Snap and upload a picture of something that is making you angry or something that represents the source of your anger, and tap the screen to “punch” it. Repeatedly hit the picture with simulated boxing gloves, and it may help you let off some steam. Read the rest of "Anger Management Apps"

One of the main benefits of proper time management is that it allows you to get done what you need to on time and in an efficient manner. This in turn not only will make your life a lot easier but also, as one might expect, a lot less stressful. Stress is a common symptom amongst any group of working individuals, however this does not have to be the case, all that is needed is a mixture of proper time management and taking time out every once and a while to relax. However whilst it is the case that how you manage your time will have one of the greatest impacts on lowering your stress levels, here are some other useful tips on relieving stress that you might find helpful.
We also offer a practical Stress Management course.
Take a deep breath.
This one may sound old and clichéd but there is a good reason for this. You’d be surprised just how relaxing it can be, take several if you need to, and just shut your eyes and take long drawn out breaths until you feel yourself relaxing.
Get perspective.
It may seem as though what you are concerned about now is the most important thing in the world, but I can almost guarantee it is not. Try and realise that some things are out of your control and that there is a difference not completing a task and failure.
Be an optimist.
If your one of those people that always sees the worst in a situation then try it the other way round for a change. Many people tend to have a very negative outlook when it comes to something as important as work and don’t realise how damaging that this can be. It will not only make it a lot harder to enjoy your job but is will also affect people around you and the working atmosphere in general, which will only make things worse.
Organise office.
Your office, or working area, is where you will get the bulk of your work done and consequently where you will spend the most time. If then it is the case that you can’t even remember what colour your office floor is then it might well be time for some spring cleaning.
Stay on top.
Don’t allow your self to be overcome by the work, know what you can and can’t handle and stick to your limits. If you have stretched yourself too far and are working on too many things at once then prioritise which ones are of the greatest importance to you and focus on that. There is no point in doing a dozen jobs badly, instead try for quality not quantity.

Trying to fit too much into a little time can be very stressful. Stress and lack of sleep are also bad for your health and can contribute towards heart disease and high blood pressure. Staying up late and getting up early can take it’s toll. Your may think that sleep seems to be a waste of time, that you have far more important things to accomplish.
For more time management tips come on one of our popular time managment training courses in Brighton, Sussex.
A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine in America shows just how good a midday siesta can be for you.
The study of Greek people shows that those who took a break from the stresses of their job by taking a nap showed a much lower risk of heart disease, they also had lower stress hormone levels.
Between one and three in the afternoon is the most effective time to nap when the body’s temperature has peaked and is dropping. How does this save time? If you nap for 15 minutes midday then your performance levels are considerably higher. You make less mistakes and can think more clearly. Naps should be for not longer then 45 mins. You do not have to lie down, just get comfortable, support your head and shut your eyes – you should not fall into a deep sleep. It can help to darken the room if possible. A power nap of 15 -20 minutes right before an important meeting or a test can dramatically improve your performance and concentration..
Other strategies for coping with stress are covered in our Stress Management training course.
