Anger Management 101: Try the Hard Stuff

Warning: what you're about to do is going to be tough. Like, really tough. Like, "I'm-going-to-have-to-see-a-shrink-for-the-rest-of-my-life" tough. But, hey, someone's gotta do it.

So, here's your first assignment:

• Practice yelling at inanimate objects. Start with your coffee mug. Give it a good tongue-lashing.
• Watch an endless loop of your least favorite video on YouTube. Bonus points if it's a 24-hour loop of elevator music.
• Try to eat a spoonful of wasabi while simultaneously reciting the entire script of "War and Peace" by Tolstoy.

Remember, it's all about setting realistic expectations. Don't expect to achieve enlightenment or inner peace. Just try to make it to the end of the week without setting off the fire alarm.
