Anger Management: Here’s What To Do To Calm Down When Angry

Here are some things to do in terms of anger management.

ANGER MANAGEMENT – Here are some things you would like to consider when feeling too much anger in terms of taming and managing such intense emotion.

Being angry over things is indeed completely normal and healthy but what makes it really destructive is what you do or say against a person when it is getting out of your problem. To which, this can also lead to conflict, argument, and ruined relationships.

And here are some tricks to tame and manage it:

  • Breathe – Have a breath of fresh air to ease the intensity of your emotion. Take this time to think what you should do next that is not destructive.
  • Count to 10 – This will help you release the tension and will make time for yourself to relax.
  • Exercise – Make this a channel to release your anger. You don’t just manage and tricked your mind being angry but you also gave yourself a favor of being fit and healthy.
  • Find alternative channels – Never ever express your anger to a person. Remember, even if it is them who is at fault, they also have feelings. You might not want to crush them down.

  • Distractions – Take a shower for an instance. Calm yourself and recognize what made you angry so that next time, you can avoid its possibilities.
  • Stop beating the pillow – According to a study, this is a great alternative to express your anger. Beating the pillow increase hostility.
  • Understand your anger – Identify what made you angry and try to avoid it the next time. If you can’t avoid it, perhaps, you have anticipated the moment and probably knows to handle yourself at such situations.
  • Don’t lose your temper – You would not want to look like the bad guy in the picture, right?

  • Walk – Take a walk. It is absolutely good for the heart, a form of exercise, will make you relax, and you can have time to think. Or the other way, walk away from those things or people that make you angry. Leave them instead of hurting them verbally.
  • Don’t display it – Never show or use this emotion as a threat to anyone especially children.
  • Write it down – Let the ink be your voice. You don’t have to necessarily send it to them but it is a way to help make you feel better. If no one can understand why you got angry, the pen and paper are always there to listen – willing to tear some pages and fill the gaps with ink.
