Anger has consumed me for part of my life. I can say now that I'm free from that inner demon that use to haunt me. Controlling it is important. Anger spreads to every aspect of life from how you look at the world, to the decisions you make. To shed your desires to harm others requires you focus on the problem.

First is to be honest with yourself. I don't know you, and the events in your life that causes these impulses. You have to find out what pisses you off, gain acceptances of these triggers, and learn to control them. You have to be aware of when you start feeling angry to start cooling down. Take deep breaths, meditate for a bit, walk away if you have to. Letting this anger build up to the boiling point will only cause you to act upon it. You also have to control your desire to act upon it. Sometimes you let yourself get angry, you have to start telling yourself you don't want to be angry. Which brings me to my second point...

Second is to find an outlet for this anger, and release it in a constructive way. This is an opportunity to find a new hobby. It could be anything from poetry, to boxing. You have to find what is perfect for you that drains you of this anger.

Third is to change your outlook of the world. Thinking in a negative light will only bring more anger. Thinking about killing someone because for example they screwed you over. You have to think why, and how you can put the thought to rest, or confront it in a constructive manner. Having this kind of mentality affects your aura. When you get angry, you are essentially putting mud on your face, covering the light that is inside you. This light affects your interaction with others. I'm not saying to pull out the tie-dye shirts, flowers and prance around, but thinking more optimistically about the prospects in your life.

I also suggest you try to meditate. It's a great way to clear your mind, calm you down, and having a moment of tranquility to yourself.

In the end, you have to want peace with yourself. It's the only way to overcome anger problems.
