dear andy ,

just a simple thought ,

in the instance of any afflictive emotion,'transformation '
the best couse of action is to practice applying the 'antidote'practices ,

for 'attatchment or grasping' practice ' generousity'

for ' anger or malice' practice 'metta , loving kindness'

for 'ignorance ' practice ' accumulation of wisdom'

of course it is not allways easy to apply these antidote practices at the moment the afflictive emotoin has us in its grip , therefore it is wise to reflect well or meditate on each in rotation before the occurance of any uncomfortable situation , so that we might familiarise our selves with the benifit of each practice .

if we analise regularly our own tendancy towards an emotion like anger , we can mentaly transform it before it happens , this has to be the most positive action we can take .
we can allso apply all three antidote practices bringing wisdom and generosity into play helping us to work with the emotion that we are currently experiencing .

try allso applying a little love and generosity to the self who is experiencing the anger , thinking how wonderfull it would be to be free from such painfull emotions , your inate wisdom will tell you that you simply do not need to be making external situations more unbearable by adding afflictive emotions .

best wishes
