In my past I dealt with my anger by either swallowing it or exploding. The explosions usually came when I couldn't hold it in anymore.

Since then I've learned how to express my anger appropriately. The first step, for me, is to decide if whatever happened is worth the energy it will take me to be angry. Anger takes a lot of energy and I don't have much energy to spare. If I decide it isn't worth it I let go of whatever happened. If I decide it is worth the energy I try to talk to the other person involved to work out a solution.
Thanks for this!
