NewsCenter 5's Rhonda Mann reported that there are simple exercises you can do to transform your anger into positive energy.

We all get angry, some more than others, and now there is angerobics. It's a workout for working out your anger.

"It's a way to tap into their creativity, their inner wisdom and their sense of humor to deal with anger and hopefully to help transform unhealthy patterns into healthy ones," author Lisa Tener said.

In one exercise, participants are asked to draw what their anger looks like.

"If you can ever laugh at a situation, you're really three-fourths of the way to resolving it," anger illustrator Peaco Todd said.

Anger-obics is highlighted in a new book. An anger-obics seminar was put on by the Dana Farber Cancer Institute to help both staff and patients deal with the emotions surrounding illness.

"They're angry with their spiritual faith and angry that there are people who are walking around them that are healthy and to have cancer can bring you a great deal of frustration," Dana Farber Cancer Institute spokeswoman Susan DeCristofaro said.

There's something you can try at home. Write down something that makes you angry. Then stick it to the bottom of your shoe. Walk around on it all day -- stomping out the anger.

"Dance is a really effective way to get in touch with the anger feelings and let them change. So to go from something that's stuck or feels stuck to something that flows a little easier," DeCristofaro said.

Take time out. Get away from what is making you angry so you can reflect

Trade places with the person who you are angry with and try to see it from their perspective.

Rule out anything that may be heightening your negative feelings.

"If we can just notice, 'Am I hungry? Am I tired?' We don't have enough sleep, then we're much more likely to get angry," DeCristofaro said.
