How do I let go of pent up anger towards an ex?

Anger towards someone only damages the peace of one person - Your peace. Nothing in this world is worthy enough if it takes away your peace. Anger may be due to unresolved issues or incomplete closure. Try to talk to him/ her and see if you can discuss what's bugging you the most and then maybe you can work on it collectively or just by yourself. After doing this if you still have any hard feelings which don't seem to go away easily, indulge yourself into yoga or a dance class or any other hobby class that would make you feel good about yourself. Once you steal enjoying every little moment of your life, you will start loving your life and won't have any space or energy for negative things in your life. Speaking from a personal experience, this process will tale time but it will be totally worth it. ☺

Write about it--feel the pain, track the pain--where is it localized? Dig into the anger, parse out where it's coming from. Note the part I played in what I'm angry about. Was I complacent? Short-tempered? Shut down? Dig into the experience to learn from it and avoid repeating it. Exercise. Self-care. Get a massage, acupuncture. Talk to friends that are loving.

The best thing you can do is move on. The more you think about whatever happened the more it'll get to you. You shouldn't spend time thinking about someone who made you unhappy and just move on and find someone who will make you happy.

It's not easy, it is very difficult. But noody can tell you how to because everybody has different ways about it. The anger you feel is different, the person is different, you are different. Try to figure out what do you expect from him. It took me two years to leave my anger behind after he genuinly accepted his mistake. That's what i wanted him, a very genuine apology. He ruined that later but I took what would give me peace. With my other ex, all i needed was time. I made new friends, studied, found a new hobby. Do what suits you and the situation best.

The anger and hurt will pass as time goes on. You may feel anger because you still hold some feelings for them. What I've learned is that time does heal when it comes to moving on from an ex, but you can help yourself by maybe avoiding contact with them and blocking them on social media and then focusing on your life and building yourself up.

In time this will just subside. You will find someone new who will make you wonder how you ever liked the first person in the first place! Just hold back from doing anything spiteful or petty in the meantime otherwise you could regret it.

Repressed anger for long periods of time can negatively affect our mental health. Anger is an emotion we must accept and allow ourselves to feel. Accepting our emotions is one of the many steps we have to take in order to get our end results of letting go. In addition to accepting our anger, we must take our time and once we have self-control of our emotion we eventually get to the next step of analyzing the situation, such as asking yourself questions "why am I mad?" When we restrain our anger and do not become aware we can lead destructive lives by letting our emotions choose our behaviors in a negative way. This is one significant reason why it is crucial to communicate and have support throughout this time to release our inner thoughts, stress, etc. Through self-discovery we can find growth and we can come to a understanding. Nevertheless, taking your time to allow yourself to feel the emotion, to understand why you felt this way, to be around your support team (communicate), to find positive self-self-discovery (learning and growing from the situation) and to move forward will help one let go of anger. Setting goals and remembering to always communicate your feelings will be beneficial to your health in the future. Working on this will only help you progress to a healthier you! Also, recreation activities are a great addition to adding to your lifestyle.

By realizing that the anger you're holding towards them doesn't affect them in the slightest and only damages you.

You should try and write about it or let it out like screaming into a pillow. You will have to realize that whatever happened, happened and you have to move on from it.

Remember that staying angry doesn't hurt anyone but you. A very wise man once said described it this way: "it's like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."
